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

I just listened to Arcade Fire for the first time and....and I think I'm in love. :oops:22Toothpicks

[QUOTE="lightleggy"][QUOTE="firefluff3"]

Do you mean the way they dressed in their videos and on tour? the whole concept of the black parade album was based around... well, the black parade...

But what do you mean by posers?

firefluff3

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

I wouldn't get your hopes up too high. They're definitely going to be remembered in the future.

[QUOTE="lightleggy"][QUOTE="firefluff3"]

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?

When has a Britney Spears album ever received the amount of praise any Radiohead album (except maybe Pablo Honey) received? :?

If Britney Spears is remembered, it won't be for music. The only reason most people would play an early Britney record nowadays is for lulz.

[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 poserslightleggy

NO.

Infact, I saw them last week. They were amazing and i have videos of it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9RpNwDT48E2:10, them last two words to the song were sung beautifully, and the last scream at the end of the second song was amazing too. this was also at the very end of the concert, so thats why nobodys singing, not because we're all "emo"

Emo has such a different definition than it did years ago. To the point its just a stereotype to mock people.

[QUOTE="22Toothpicks"][QUOTE="lightleggy"] they said the same about britney spearslightleggy

yes they did

I would love to see The White Stripes or The Racounteurs be remebered. Who doesnt know Icky Thump and Seven Nation Army. If Arcade Fire is going to be remebered The White Stripes will be too. I agree with Radiohead.

[QUOTE="firefluff3"]

[QUOTE="lightleggy"] emo is not just emotional that is the laziest description of emo anyone can think of... and yeah they are posers because the guys think that they are super rockers when they dont see they are little more than emos... the new stuff is terrible, just like its always been, the only decent album they had was 3 cheers for sweet revenge. I cant agree they are talented, they are not talented and they also heavily rely on studio because i've watched plenty of their concerts and they are terrible liveDarthJohnova

I really doubt if they were your favourite band you would leave half way through, you'd at least like it for the atmosphere, and wouldnt leave because it would cost £30, and what show did you go to out of curiousity? And, to be fair.. It was their last gig in england in the past week (or two?) so he wouldn't sound as good. But thats still not a very good excuse, I just dont really believe you :P

And yeah, i agree with the oasis stuff.

I'm actually gonna say none. In this day and age, there is so much differerent music available to listen to, there really is no band that is of the consensus "best." Basically, I think if you ask 100 different people 20 years from now who their favorite band was from the 2000s, they will all give you a different answer.

Tell me, which Britney Spears album received anywhere near the critical acclaim of any Radiohead album?

[QUOTE="lightleggy"][QUOTE="firefluff3"] Oh well that's funny because they were in my top 3 favourite bands until last night. They were TERRIBLE live! Gerard can't sing =/ I was really quite upset as i left the gig halfway through, during Famous Last Words which i considered to be one of my favourite songs of theirs =/ :(

Justin Bieber, Little Wayne, Drake, Soulja Boy, and Insane Clown Posse.

I think Weezer will be remembered. Thats really one of the mist obvious ones that IMO people are missing.

Well I want to select as new a band as I can or else it's too easy, but I usually don't notice bands until they are long since established as heavy-hitters. I'll say Wolfmother is fairly established, but only have two albums starting in 2005, so I'm betting we'll see more good things from them that will further solidify there position as a band to be remembered. And I just checked there Wikipedia page and they just announced they are working on a new album less than a week ago. Huzzah!

Commercial free movies are always good, this man has no soul.

[QUOTE="Travo_basic"]Arcade Fire for certain.LJS9502_basic

AF will easily be remembered as the one of the best modern bands.

Wait I thought this thread was about "modern" bands, because Radiohead is not modern, neither is tool or any band from the early 90s and below. With that said, although they are not ultra poplular, I can easily see Modest Mouse being talked about 15 years from now. They have excellent consistancy with their albums. Very solid indeed.
