Would you consider some of Motley Crue's big hits to be

"commerical rock tunes?" I am thinking of songs like "S.O.S.," "Dr. Feelgood," "Girls, Girls, Girls," "Don't Go Away Mad," and other songs that got video play on MTV (when it played music videos). Ever since people started debating whether a rock artist/group "soldout or not," I have always wondered if rock artists/groups that received a lot of airplay on MTV were considered to be at least partial sellouts or remained true to their rock roots.
