Are Kings Of Leon too "indie" for Glee?

I don't know about you guys but GLEE on Fox is one of my guilty pleasures. I know some who dub it the "gayest show on TV" and well, if they are entitled to their personal opinions then so is Caleb Followill front man of Kings Of Leon.

Love it or hate it, no one can deny that Glee fever is on the rise, and "Gleeks",  the die hard fans of the show, are the driving force behind the hype. This could be a contributing factor with the bands decision to decline having their music played on the hit show.  Caleb says he's never seen the show, but with everyone from Madonna to Gwyneth Paltrow making appearances- even Journey has been resurrected from their 70's time warp and embraced by a new generation- have done nothing but bolster (if even temporarily) their fame. 

Would Glee's interpretation of their songs like, Use Somebody or Sex on Fire hurt or help their discerning reputation?  Ultimately it doesn't matter-- the Fox hit will continue to do well and the brothers once hailed "the southern Strokes" will accept that they are now certified rock gods with their latest album Come Around Sundown topping the charts. The fear of selling out should be a worry no longer valid to the  guys of Kings of Leon.  Seriously, if Glee is wanting to use your music, how indie are you really?
