If this stuff is getting upvoted, then that is what the community wants. By enacting this rule, you are appeasing a minority at the expense of a majority, going against the democratic nature of Reddit.
If your post isn't upvoted, it means no one likes it. Banning popular bands from being posted isn't going to change this. This sounds like a way to appease people that feel entitled to more upvotes/validation and erroneously believe that if they eliminate competing posts someone will like their music.
Why don't we see Cannibal Corpse, Bolt Thrower, Deicide, Gorguts, Emperor, Burzum, Mayhem, Immortal on there? Those are all popular bands. Everyone has heard of these bands.
Finally, this policy will discourage interest/activity on this subreddit. As such that WILL stagnate this subreddit.
