I think some of us are confusing accessibility with commercialism.
For instance, in 1992 I would hardly call "Soul Drifter" a commercial song. Is it accessible? Most certainly, as is all of "Out of the Cradle," at least to my ears. Any time I've played "Out of the Cradle" songs for people, they get this expression of amazement, like, "Wow, who is that?" Yet, the album didn't sell. I've tried to figure it out, but it still doesn't make sense to me.
I don't believe "Steal Your Heart Away" is terribly commercial, even though I have said that very thing in the past (lest someone picks up on an apparent contradiction). It's an accessible song, but if it were commercial, it would have hit big when it was released to radio a few months ago.
What is commercial today is what will sell today, and in some ways, what we have grown used to hear. Something like "Go Your Own Way" may sound commercial today because everybody's heard it 6,000 times, it really was fairly unorthodox in 1977.
