Underrated classic

And yes It's UK releases.

I hate that song. Probably the only one of their songs I've heard too.

I think Kanye West will probably loom up as the best/most interesting artist to make a big splash in pop culture this decade, songs like Touch the Sky, Jesus Walks, Gold Digger aren't going to be forgotten in a rush - plus I think he's got a few more good albums in him yet.

TV on the Radio will definitely be remembered, but whether it's as a cult favourite or this decade's Radiohead will depend on how they develop their sound on the next few albums. They have the brilliant records, they just need a song to blow up like Creep. They have been trending towards a more pop sound, and so far it's worked for them but I don't want them to take it too far.

The White Stripes will be talked about I think.

Wait I thought this decade (that being the '00's) Radiohead was Radiohead?

I'd say probably about 60% of those bands are still talked about.

But I think the big difference between then and now is how much music is coming out and how accessible it is to everyone. I think a lot of bands like TV on the Radio, Animal Collective, and bands that have had lasting popularity like them will survive. To me they're more or else equivalent to bands like My Bloody Valentine, Pavement, or At the Drive-In. I don't think any of them will be forgotten, all 3 of those bands are still going strong, Pavement and At the Drive-In at least probably more so than when they existed. But a lot of great music that isn't quite so popular will probably be largely forgotten (though not by some of us). Bands like Lightning Bolt, **** Buttons, I'd even say The Shins. If they're lucky, they'll end up like The Feelies, where not so many people have heard of them but they still live on. Oh, and I'd venture to add The Decemberists to that list.

Sure, I just think of them as a 90's band - just throwing around the word as shorthand for a band that has critical acclaim as well as a massive popular following.

I reckon Queen and the Beatles will be talked about in 25 years, I know they're relatively new bands but we'll see, eh?!
