favourite artist from the new decade?
who is your favourite band/artist from 2000 onwards? ive thought of this decade as a bit of a weak one so far, i know its only 4 years in but its lacked identity, for example- the 80's had the whole cheesy, synthesizer rock or hair metal going on. the 70s was heavy rock and the decade of the riff- the 60s was the whole pop-rock, catchy-chorus and psychedelia decade while the 90's was the decade of brit-pop and brit-rock (for british people, dont know about america), it also saw the birth of indie if you like. but what do you think of the new decade and whats your favourite band of the past four years? the only thing i can think of so far for this decade is the birth of emo?!

A few of these artists originally formed in 99', but either didn't get signed or record anything until after 2000.
2000 -Strike Anywhere -Dashboard Confessional(His solo projects) 2001 -It Dies Today -Rise Against -Mars Volta 2002 -Sage Francis -All Rattle and Dust 2003 -Amanda Rogers -Gratitude -The A.K.A's -Motion City Soundtrack 2004 -Head Automatica -Slingshot Dakota |
Explosions in the Sky, The Hidden Cameras, Sparta, and The Go! Team. Sons and Daughters are looking to be a big one, dubbed the next Franz Ferdinand but I think that's almost an insult. The Polyphonic Spree, Badly Drawn Boy, Queens of the Stone Age, Sunn O))) and A Silver Mount Zion were around in 1999 but didn't release a debut album till 2000, and not sure that The White Stripes did either, surely they must be a big band of our time.

right now, it's just nu-metal / hard rock that's poured over from the end of the last decade... there has not been one of those "revolutionary" bands yet. anyways, new bands... Mastodon The Mars Volta Grimfist Origin (started in '98, but didn't release major record til '00) The Red Chord The Black Dahlia Murder ... eh... this is kinda difficult. |
I`ve seen very little so far that really grabs me. I`ve seen quite a few good bands but no really great ones yet.
I think the music press is to blame in some way , they just build & build bands up & give them blanket coverage until everybody is sick of them & they never last more than 1 or 2 years. |

Actually, thats why no-one stands out from 2000 onwards. Its too early to tell. Rome wasn't built in a day kids. There is hope! |

The only bands I can think of off hand that have really made a difference is The Mars Volta , The White Stripes & Sigur Ros as far as originality goes.
Other than that it`s just loads of cookie cutter 'indie' style bands |

There`s the 2 dudes with the huge afros & 3 others I think
|
Rise Against was 98 i think.
Scarlet is my favorite band post 2000. |
I should have put Hope Of The States in that list too.
The Lost Riots is a good album but they`re one of the very few bands around I think who can improve on that. |

Rise Against formed in 1999, but didn't have a full band nor anything recorded until after 2000. They got signed to Fat Wreck and issued "The Unraveling" in 2001. |

Im my opinion the decades go on the 5's. the 70's had their claws in pop culture from approximatly '75 to '85. No obviously at the begining and end of each, its really weak. But I don't think Winger had a CD out in '81 (but I could be wrong)
And yeah I think the emo thing is really post-hardcore. The list rites of spring as an emo band alot, they were out in like '85 or something. Emo is tough since no band wants to be emo. The Stripes are blindingly awesome. |
Rise against are good killers have some good tunes,Von Bondies pawn shoppe heart was a cool CD but nothing thats like "omfg thats the a fav band" havent been many punk acts that have grabbed me.

Nothing has really grabbed my attention... but then again I am an old fart at heart!
I know they started in the '90s, but I like the Living end. I also think are you gonna be my girl is a good song, but I don't really like the rest of Jet's stuff. |
We were delt a ****y hand. I really have a hard time with alot of bands today.
Its either too corporate or trying to hard not to be. Just play and make music I say. |
I'd have to say Avenged Sevenfold and Killradio, nd Damageplan too, all great bands.
|
Yeah well I say certain people can't appreciate a band until everyone else in the world blows them. Here's my prediction, when 10 years has passed and bands from now are still going strong, half the people that didn't like them now will be telling kids they saw them back when, and yes that band will be the White Stripes.
