What "modern" bands will be remembered as the best?

I mean bands from the last 10-15 years, I really cant think of any. My favourite band is My Chemical Romance and i think they'll be remembered for being unique and doing something different with each album, although most people on here probably wont agree with me. I'd also say paramore, im not really a fan of them, but their pretty popular.

So what do you guys think?

I'm actually surprised to see you mention MCR. They're my favorite band as well, yet I almost always only ever see people hating on them. It's a breath of fresh air finally seeing someone else acknowledge them like I do.

Arcade Fire for certain.Travo_basic

Well U2 is old but they have 3 concert films in the can and the latest one is in 3D. People will probably want to study the films in the future.

Outkast. They've sold over 25 million albums and most of their albums received extremely high scores from critics. They don't just make cookie-cutter hip-hop either since they experiment a lot and all their albums sound completely different from one another.

Also: I think Arcade Fire will be remembered years down the road just because it's not necessarily the most well-known artists of the era that get remembered. Look at bands like King Crimson or The Velvet Underground -- they weren't the biggest bands of their era but now they're more well-known than a lot of other bands that were more popular at the time.

But what do you mean by posers?

Them Crooked Vultures, Muse and Foo Fighters

[QUOTE="lightleggy"] I was actually going to say "my chemical romance" as a joke because...well because they actually suck and they havent done anything memorable and are nothing but possers...but now I see that someone believes that they will be remembered for being a "great band" and I just lost my faith in humanity for like the 201234123rd timelightleggy

Hm. Emo = emotional = Most bands.

And I dont get it, their posers by being emo and saying their not?

And have you listened to any of their new stuff?

And even if they were emo, that doesn't mean their music "sucks". You can at least agree their talented

It's not their. THEY'RE.

It's over there, it's theirs, they're made of pineapples.

And they're crap. Probably wont be remembered, but most great music won't be remembered either, just a random assortment of the most popular of popular music will, and sadly.... I'm thinking Beiber/other garbage kid bands, they'll get remembered, just like Britany Spears.

the white stripes

radiohead

the arcade fire

...i don't know, there aren't many great modern mainstream bands out there anymore.

[QUOTE="firefluff3"]

[QUOTE="lightleggy"] just what they do and what they say...the whole band has always shouted "EMO!" yet they say things like "lulz we are not emo ofc not emo sucks trolololol" come on, everybody knows the guys are posersInconsistancy

I agree with you. Most good music wont be remembered as being the good music, it'll be the mainstream sell-out stuff.

I wont argue about mcr anymore, cant argue against opinions

Dude they had like 80 million plays on LastFM even before they won the Grammy. They aren't some unknown band.

Who knows, history has a funny way of distorting what was "good" and "bad" back in the day (at least musically). What was best will be up to each person, but I think bands like Green Day, Rise Against and Linkin Park will probably be remembered in a fairly good light as they we unique enough to not be caught in the "pop" music phenomena while also being mainstream enough to get mass appeal and recognition.
