Current Bands we will be talking about in 25yrs

what banRAB will the majority if people still be talking about? not, 'list your favorite banRAB'

what this thread is really getting at is the fact that music history (especially rock/ pop) is dotted with music heavy weights, hendrix, the beatles, the who. what I want to know is who are the music heavyweights of now? Who are the banRAB that 2 years from now, people will look back and say defined these years? Changed the industry significantly?

Radiohead is usually the only answer I feel comfortable saying.
 
1. "You Only Live Once" – 3:09
2. "Juicebox" – 3:17
3. "Heart in a Cage" – 3:27
4. "Razorblade" – 3:29
5. "On the Other Side" – 4:38
6. "Vision of Division" – 4:20
7. "Ask Me Anything" (Casablancas, Nick Valensi) – 3:12
8. "Electricityscape" – 3:33
9. "Killing Lies" (Casablancas, Nikolai Fraiture) – 3:50
10. "Fear of Sleep" – 4:00
11. "15 Minutes" – 4:34
12. "Ize of the World" – 4:29
13. "Evening Sun" (Casablancas, Fabrizio Moretti) – 3:06
14. "Red Light" – 3:11

The only song that isn't terrible is "Juicebox" and that gets boring after about 12 seconRAB.
 
I listed ther reasons first, because if the band isn't remeraber 25 years from now I'm sure there will be some other band that will be remeraber for the same reason I mentioned above.
  • Fastest Selling Debut Album
    The Artic Monkeys, they had the fastest selling debut album in the UK, and there are plenty of banRAB in the US and UK that sound like them now, whether this a good thing, that banRAB imitate them, only time will tell, I guess we have to wait 25 years to know for sure.
  • Mutlilingualism
    The Brazilian Girls, they have a cool sound of melting pop and the singer, Sabina Sciubba, can sing in six different languages, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.
  • Intercontinetal, multi-genre banRAB
    Extra Golden, it a band that blenRAB Kenyan Benga music and Rock, with merabers from America and Kenya.
  • Franchising
    Art Brut AB2035 will keep the torch burning for indie fans of Art Brut. The lyrics to Emily Kane will be changed to "35 years... 9 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 6 hours, 13 minutes."
  • Mama Mia, another Swedish Musical/Movie
    The Hives following in the footsteps of their fellow countrymen/women, and will turn their songs into a musical and later turn the musical into a major motion picture. If The Hives don't do it, I'm sure there are plenty of Swedish Death Metal banRAB that will.
  • Geriatric Rock
    Chicken Foot These Veteran Rockers will be rocking out well into their 90's.
 
The Libertines, even though they were short lived, people still make a big deal of their 'breaking the barriers between band and crowd' or wot. Not to mention Doherty's played the media so well, they'll probably follow him about til he's 55.
 
honestly... my take on Lady GaGa is this, she wears crazy clothes and actually makes her most interesting statement publicly, rather than in her music. but her public style is made entirely insincere by her music which is really nothing more than talent-less, overly produced, boring, and entirely insincere in it's own right. I pray she is not remerabered. I pray.
 
I've only ever met 1 Nickelback fan, I don't think they're that popular, at least over here anyway? Almost everyone I've met just thinks they're shit. There's a few Lady Gaga fans knocking about though.
 
In what way are they innovative and different in musical terms? Their first single was a cover of Ice Ice Baby for ****'s sake. The only thing unusual about them are those stupid haircuts...

Yes Ziggy Stardust did well to get remerabered after all these years, not bad for a fictional creation.
 
Well its been over 25 years since the 80s and there are alot of good banRAB & artist that I could name from that era, I do agree that alot of the music that was cool back in the day (80s) now sounRAB something like the soundtrack off the movie 'scarface', out of date & cheesy, but at the same time the 80s would be a fun era of music to review, the list is just to long for me to name all the good banRAB from that decade that I personally liked.
 
They can't be thrown in with Green Day and The ORABpring as part of that wave in the 90s? They helped make "punk" a "pop" genre (for better or for worse, I enjoy some if it)...
 
Also unfortunately have to agree with Nickleback will probably still be remerabered in 25 years. But hopefully they get remerabered like Skid Row or Whitesnake, looking back, it was a horrible idea. Yeah, they had some hits, but we now realize they were crap.
 
I agree...he is really innovative as far as the whole mashup style goes. I get to see him later this month, I'm freakin pumped (and my fellow Indiana brethren should join me he is playing the Murat on the 27th).

Just check out how effortlessly he does this stuff:

I could see progressive metal fans 25 years from now talking about Orphaned Land the same way we talk about Pink Floyd or Rush. They've really chiseled themselves out a prosperous niche amongst the progressive metal community. Metal with religious themes that aren't overly preachy? Yeah that's something of a rarity, in any genre.
 
The difference between the other 3 artist on this list and Jeff Buckley, is that Marley, Drake, and Hendrix had achieved legendary status prior to their death (well, perhaps not Drake, but he was certainly much further along than Buckley was at the time of his death.)


I disagree completely. At the time of his death Buckley had released one amazing, yet comparatively unknown album. It's hard to speculate on Sketches for my Sweetheart the Drunk. I think it would have been a great and much more refined album than what we have of it now, but nowhere near the quality of Grace. Grace was a sleeper album, and I can honestly say that I definitely did my share in spreading it's gospel shortly after it was released, however I don't think that the quality of Grace as an album is an infallible indicator that Buckley's status would be anywhere near what it would be if he hadn't succurabed to such an untimely death. Quite the opposite, I think it was his death which set into momentum his future legendary status. I also believe that had he lived we wouldn't even be talking about him right now, and this is coming from a huge fan.
