Current Bands we will be talking about in 25yrs

Here's another one that has ceased to be mentioned.

Drive-By Truckers

I think they will be regarded in the same way alt. country vets regard the likes of Steve Earle, Uncle Tupelo, and Whiskytown.

It seems that it is a prerequisite here to hate Nickelback. Maybe while new members are registering, we can have "Do you like Nickelback?" on there, and filter out all the people that say yes.

Hmmm...I don't think I could take it if our member's collective taste in music were any more appreciable than it is now. I say we reroute the Nickleback fan club link on Google to here, grab some e-clubs, and wait.

Tight thread, got a kick out of reading through this.

From a hip-hop perspective I like to think that Atmosphere will still be discussed. They've only recently had an album take on mainstream notoriety, but even when they were "underground" they still had as large a following as some big name acts. Deep deep catalog of albums; if you count compilations and their free digital album, that's 7 full-lengths and over a dozen EP's this decade. Impressive.

A few people mentioned The Black Keys, but I actually don't see them being memorable on a wide scale. As evidenced by their thread in the Indie/Alt forum, many people are 'meh' or apathetic towards them. Add in the fact that they only had one mainstream accessible album in the decade, and that they are pretty consistently overshadowed by The White Stripes... Doesn't sound like a recipe for becoming one of the decade's standouts.

In terms of "starting something new" or "having an influence on bands to come", how about Girl Talk? While he's not the first dude to create song mashups, he's easily the most visible in the 2000s. There are 100s of spinoff DJs (DJs? Mashers?), and 1000s of amateurs doing this from their home every day now. Genre spanning stuff... There are mixes of Biggie Smalls and Miley Cyrus on youtube, that's some of the most backwards stuff I can imagine, yet still cool. The defining thing, I think, is his court battle over the legality of it all-- he's setting new precedents in terms of what is acceptable under "Fair Use". Interesting to say the least.

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'm not quite sold on Atmosphere being relevant and appreciated in 25 years time. Not yet, but it's a distinct possibility. If he manages to put out a mind blowing album, which I think he's fully capable of.

One MC that's closely associate with Atmosphere who I think will be talked about in 25 years is Brother Ali. That man is simply one of the most powerful MC's I've ever heard, and his newest album Us, released about 6 months ago, Is pretty amazing. The man's just beginning to hit his stride. I'd say He's still got a pretty long and successful career ahead of him.

I'd love to see Aesop Rock release another album that blows None Shall Pass out of the water. I know that his last album has been pretty well receives by most fans, but I'd like to see him do something that's a little more true to his vision. I think his career and his future reputation depends on it.

Eh, he played here at Miami University and nearly everyone complained about it...

Good post..however in regard to the Black Keys i don't think only having 1 mainstream accessible album has much to do with how they will be regarded in the future...lots of bands were discovered years after they break up...

I don't get the Nickelback hate, they're too dire and irrelevent for me to have an opinion. I pitty them more than anything.
