Mr. Bungle pushed the envelope and consistently put out great albums


And the legendary Zu, who have sadly broken up


Sunn O)))


I could go on and on, but I'm not sure that these videos will convince you because my taste is kind of out there sometimes. I highly suggest doing some research on new music because you may be very surprised with what you find. Try scanning the top rated lists and user-made charts on RateYourMusic for a good resource.

I've got a prediction going that Tame Impala is going to be The Next Big Band.

BTW, for current bands/artists, for better or worse I think Adele could be the biggest thing going. After all, her album 21 was the first album EVER to be the best-selling album on the Billboard charts for two consecutive years in a row.

The problem with having this discussion is that we are currently in the timeline for it. We have to wait another 10 to 20 years and then look back to see someone's entire body of work and then claim that they were the standout for that generation in terms of quality with their body of work.

I agree. But you can certainly notice the hype of current artists, but that doesn't necessarily mean quality albums.

The next arena filler, the next festival liners, the next to truly crack every overseas market and have international appeal?
Tame Impala?
I don't see it

Also, who says there's going to be 'the next big' anything, as Ninetales pointed out. Music has changed. I sure as hell don't mention the talent and quality of an artist on sales and marketability.
Bands like The Beatles got as big as they were because they were allowed to be. Had they never been picked up on and pushed to the moon, they wouldn't have had the chance to have the success they did.

There are not many hyped bands that I like, but The White Stripes and The Black Keys are big bands who put out some decent records.

Will have to second Queens of The Stone Age. One of my favorite bands in our modern times that are highly regarded.
