Vancouver

What bands do you guys think will people be looking back and giving credit
to starting something new or having a big influence on bands to come? Does not have to be 25yrs..

Id like to hear ideas from 2000 and up.

Not any that I like except maybe Daft Punk, but yet again, they're not all that mainstream anyway.

It's hard to tell when thinking only of bands that started in or after 2000. I'll try a few, only including ones I'm nearly 100% confident will still be talked about by large groups of people. And this has nothing to do with personal preference, except that I'm only looking through my personal collection/stuff I've heard to compile the list as I obviously can't include stuff I'm not familiar with.

The Mars Volta
ISIS
Mastodon
Animal Collective
The Shins
TV on the Radio
Arcade Fire (unfortunately)
Prefuse 73
A Perfect Circle

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.

I think Mastodon have the ability to release an album that will melt the sun.

Dunno who else if your asking only after 2000... Arctic Monkeys

IsBiggerThanYours

Lady GaGa (she is too wierd to forget and her music doesn't suck)
Owl City (Just see music heading to a one man show)
Kings of Leon (Music Kids and parents can both agree on...go minivan moms)
Any American Idol Winner or runner-up (Face it talented or not they dominate the charts)

The only American Idol I've been consistently hearing about is Kelly Clarkson. Even though I don't like that "Already Gone" song, it constantly plays on the radio...and she's still out there. I know there are a couple of artists recently having their stuff play on pop radio, but Kelly seems to be the only who's had long-term success.

I kind of agree with Lady GaGa, though. I think she'll continue to just make even weirder, catchier songs.

Comus

The Mars Volta
The Kings of Leon (sad but true, music lovers will fondly remember them "before they sucked" the rest of the world will be busy buying tickets for their second farewell/reunion tour, I call it the Black Sabbath effect)

There's a lot of bands I hope we'll be talking about for a long time, but they've yet to hit the mainstream, which is kind of a pre-requisite.

The White Stripes (formed in 97 but meh, first album came out on the turn of the millenium)

I hope The Courteeners and Twisted Wheel but I doubt it

Oh god I fucking hope not, this person's music is a blatant rip-off, let's hope his popularity dies off. Oh who am I kidding.

Violent & Funky

The Strokes
Queens of the Stone Age
System of a Down
The Black Keys

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...
