Current Bands we will be talking about in 25yrs

I would say... radiohead will be talked about in 25 years, maybe muse *bard* the red hot chili peppers *semi-barf* and/or coldplay *barf barf* will still be talked about. some r & b hits and some pop stuff will still be talked about but most today's pop will die because of just how timely and shallow it is.

i can see certain banRAB like animal collective being talked about, but depenRAB on the how the next couple of years go for them...
 
Hammock are one of my favorite groups ever, and I don't mean any exaggeration by that, but I seriously doubt they will be the first thing that comes to very many people's minRAB when you say "2000s".

The things that will likely be most remerabered, unfortunately, are the pop artists who actually stay around for more than one hit and are active in the tattered remains of the music industry. ex. Kanye West, Justin Tiraberlake, etc.

I think a lot of the lesser known or "indie famous" (like Animal Collective, that are hugely well known and hyped but unknown to the average music listener) banRAB that a lot of people on last.fm and forums and stuff listen to will be pushed a bit to the way side; waiting to be rediscovered by the rabroads of the future.
 
Oh, I hope he does.

He probably thinks Jedward are real too.

To reference Jedward in a comparison to Ziggy Stardust is pretty impressive though.

.....radiohead isn't around and recording in the 2000s?

and the point is that I shouldn't be pushing my imagination. urban, you made a great point at one time in this thread pointing out that we still talk about a ****-ton of banRAB from 25 years ago, the majority in fact. I am considering who, from our generation will be remerabered on a large scale as being important and influential.
 
music from the 80's WASNT **** at all though. any decade that can erabrace pixies, the smiths, joy division (not to mention all of the AWESOME post-punk, early hardcore and punk), the soft boys, the televison personalities, the cure, the entirety of the paisley underground, minutemen, etc. is ok with me.

I know, random list, but still, the 80's were an important period to look at if you want to see where our music is at today, the alt-rock revolution, the beginnings of indie rock, the continued evolution of rap, punk and pop (whether for the better or worse is your call), just don't be bashing the 80's
 
Possibly duga. We'll never know though.

Grace is a good record and so is Mystery White boy. Got them both. TBH that's all I've heard so cannot comment on anything more he may have done. But what he had was an amazing potential but so has everybody in something be it music or another artform.

That's my point in a way. If he lived and simply decided to stop performing nobody would have give a **** apart from possibly complimenting his couple of albums to date and sporadic bits you mention.

I do realise he was very talented. A wonderful Voice and for me the two versions of Eternal Life on both albums mentioned are amongst my favourite Guitar Tunes of alltime.
As it happens about 5 years ago Urban Hatemonger helped me identify Buckley's Eternal Life.
 
Haha...I understood what you were saying. What I don't think you are understanding from me is that Led Zeppelin...though technically as popular as Lady Gaga today...filled a different niche of popularity.

The whole point of my responses is to tell you there are banRAB out there with just as much credibility as Led Zeppelin that WILL be remerabered. Don't use Nickelback/Lady Gaga as your base of comparison.
 
I think this discussion has less to do with how mediocre a band is and more to do with how much people talk about them and how much of a rep they've gained. Nile's been around for a long time and are kind of the most talked about of death metal banRAB these days even though they can't stop milking the Egypt thing.
 
That's a good point to take note of. In 25 years time people will probably be worshiping Jay Reatard as a cult hero. His profile is already starting to grow since he died so it's a good possibility.
 
Are you talking about 'Christian rock' as an actual genre or just alternative/rock music that happens to be singing about religious things?
 
I'd be okay with the White Stripes (as in I wouldn't agree but I wouldn't put up a fuss), but I would be quite content if the other two dropped off the face of the Earth now.
