Usually a title reserved for 'boring' or 'unadventurous music' where the artist is treading water. Radio friendly music sometimes by an artist rarely heard on radio. A safe choice. If you were to go right down the middle of the road however you would be a hazard to yourself and the public. How can something so dangerous be regarded as safe in music? Is it really so bad to end up in the ditch?
Post 'Middle of The Road' albums.
I'll choose Elbow 'The Seldom Seen Kid' and whatever the one after was called. They seemed safe and vey friendly.

"Any 'heavy' music that isn't blood-spilling black metal."

Agree with these... maybe a little less on VW than the others. Also, Pearl Jam, Mumford & Son, Muse, Fleet Foxes, Queen, and U2. Not that I dislike all these bands, but they're all so generically middle class white.

Uh, I'm sorry but I don't think that album is "middle-of-the-road". You may not be a fan, but it has nothing to do with it. For example, I love Steve Earle, yet I would have no problem with someone giving him this label, whereas I find Mos Def boring, but I think he's nowhere near "middle-of-the-road". I think the Guns didn't "sellout", or whatever that means, the way other hair metal bands did. Their sound is genuinely raw at times. Do you see what I mean?

I've just always considered them to be the middle of the road, nothing challenging and nothing slacking. Right slap bang in the middle.
