Fastest Selling Debut Album
The Artic Monkeys, they had the fastest selling debut album in the UK, and there are plenty of bands in the US and UK that sound like them now, whether this a good thing, that bands 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 bands
Extra Golden, it a band that blends Kenyan Benga music and Rock, with members 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 bands that will.
Geriatric Rock
Chicken Foot These Veteran Rockers will be rocking out well into their 90's.

I've heard of three of those bands so far, let's hope that the general public is far more informed than I am.

I've noticed most of you people are overthinking things. Bands that are still going to be talked about in 25 yrs are the ones that simply made their mark before breaking up. The ones that will be actually be remembered: Muse, Coldplay, Kings of Leon, Radiohead, Queens of the Stone Age, The Mars Volta, Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc. etc. There just isn't room in history books for the losers.

I don't think the Chili Peppers will be a band people will associate with the 00s at all. When you think of the 80s, are the Rolling Stones one of the first bands that spring to mind?

It's when they hit their stride. Admit it or not, their popularity peaked AFTER Frusciante rejoined the band in 1998.

When you think of the Beatles, do you think of the years 1960-1962?

Arctic Monkeys, The Hives, and Chickenfoot? Never heard of Art Brut?

lucifer_sam · 02-25-2010, 08:38 AM

Never heard of Chickenfoot. Which is why I'm confused that they're labeled as "veteran rockers"...

Scissorman · 02-25-2010, 08:41 AM

OMG, if people start talking about The Hives and Arctic Monkeys in 25 years, I will kill myself...

Some people, like me, think they were at their best in the 80s. Others think the BSSM early 90s era was their peak and I'm used to debating 80s vs 90s with those people. But I think you are literally the only person I've ever encountered who thinks they hit their stride in the 00s. Do you think U2 hit their stride in the 00s too?

Apples and oranges. First of all, the the Beatles lasted only one decade as band while RHCP are going on their third. Like I said before, the Stones the 80s would be a more accurate comparison. Or maybe Aerosmith in the 90s, Pink Floyd in the 80s, something along those lines. Also, the Beatles didn't release any albums at all during the time period you're talking about, unlike the Chili Peppers, who prior to the 00s had already released 7 LPs, most of which sold extremely well.

Haha, just looked up Chickenfoot, what a fucking joke.

Yeah, they won't see the light of day in five years, let alone twenty-five.

I didn't say they were at their best. But that's when they got the enormous stadium venues, headlined major festivals, broke into the mainstream and generally took in the most money. It's like how people associate Pink Floyd with their Wall era rather than the prog rock they performed before that arena crap got thrown into the mix.

I actually agree with lucifer_sam here, Janszoon, and you know me to prefer RHCP BSSM and earlier. But their popularity peaked a couple years ago with 'Dani California' and 'Snow'. If you ask anyone from my generation about the Chili Peppers, you are much more likely to hear about songs from their last three albums than their first three, possibly even more famous than their biggest hit, 'Under the Bridge'. The proof is in the pudding:

Red Hot Chili Peppersâ€™s Charts â€“ Discover music, videos, concerts, & pictures at Last.fm

Other than 'Higher Ground', after quickly glancing over that list I don't see another 80s Chili Peppers song until 'Knock Me Down' at #83. The majority seems to be from the last ten years...

I consider all of these "2000s bands" even if some of them formed in the late 90s. I can envision The Strokes being one of those bands hipsters of the distant future worship. Queens and System have the ability to influence heavy music for years to come. And The Black Keys--along with The White Stripes--have kept the garage rock revival thing going...

I think SoaD are all done frankly. The spilt that Serj is currently taking, and the perceived domination of the writing by Darian? (whoever the guitarist is) really brought them down the "pain, brain, insane" path that is generally the aching deathrattle of a bands last hurrah.

The jury is out on the Strokes, for me anyhow. I like what they do, but what they do is starting to come off like a one-trick pony. Thats fine, but its like Ac/Dc where they have a couple songs people really like and then its just filler for the live show.

Your other three suggestions; Black Keys, White Stripes, and QotSA are likely contenders for endurance. I think most will be recalled by the dedicated few as i don't see any becoming the next U2.
