deerhunter/atlas sound

franz ferdinand

jens lekman

gogol bordello

iron & wine

of montreal

rufus wainwright

sigur ros

the white stripes



technically 90s bands but i think they'll be talked about in 25 years:
radiohead
belle and sebastian
calexico
super furry animals
the magnetic fields
neutral milk hotel
wilco
what bands will the majority if people still be talking about? not, 'list your favorite bands'

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 bands 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.
