Hopefully not. Maybe RHCP because they are actually good. But it would be terrible for music in the '00s to be remembered by a band who made an album called Dookie.
People on these boards hate Green Day but they were big back in the mid 90's, and are still pretty big to this day. Red Hots will definitely be remembered.lonewolf604
Let's not forget that...people hate Green Day NOW because they are "sellouts" and have gotten too popular and mainstream (yet they somehow forget to mention that Dookie sold MILLIONS of records and that Green Day has been "mainstream" since at least the mid 90s).
But back in the 90s, when everyone was trying to tell me about Green Day, I was like, "this crap sucks".
Yep. I was hating Green Day before hating Green Day was popular. In fact, hating Green Day has become so popular that now I've decided to like them just to be different.
Legends is a mighty word for a band to be considered. Red Hot Chili Peppers could be considered for that title. The others aren't innovative enough, and are a little too pop-oriented and/or immature to be considered legends. Not to say those aren't good bands.
RHCP has been around for 24-25 years now. Started off with more immature songs, but eventually grew out of that. Flea and Frusciante are legendary in their means (bass and guitar), and Kiedis has one of the most recognizable vocals in music, and has a talent for writing lyrics. Since Blood Suger Sex Magic, haven't had anything but critical and commercial successes. And they have plenty of unforgettable tunes. Maybe in their own rights they are legends.

I know a ton of "immature" bands that can be considered legends. That's a very subjective term
Uh Old Greenday and Old Blink are already considered legends by most people who are into good punk, they started off the new punk movement........which turned into a wave of sell out bands!
But in all seriousness, Blink is probably my favorite band......Dammit is just too good of a song. Sorreh. :\
The funny thing with all the blink hate is that blink 182 actually changed the musical tastes of a ton of people, they will always be one of the fun bands to listen to from the 90's for me. greenday was fun to listen to up until their latest album, just because it sucked so much. i have no comment on RHCP just because of the recent songs ive listened to are way too similar to one another to discern them from one another.
i doubt people will remember any of those bands. people these days hardly know chuck berry and he was a groundbreaker, led zeppelin is still well known.. but if you think about it, should those bands have the same popularity and respect in 50 years that pink floyd, zep, and the stones have? i personaly dont think so. eric clapton is a legend.. blink 182 was a fad when i was in middle school and even then i thought it was rubbish... the rolling stones were a revolutionary step and their music has aged well. do you think ppl will be listening to those bands in 50 years? people hardly listne to blink 182 anymore now, forget 50 years. darkside of the moon will be regarded in the next 50 years.. hell blink 182 i forgot about them until i saw this thread.
Green Day probably won't and Blink 182 is screwed because of their musical content. A big reason why they are hated is because they don't take themselves seriously at all. Humorous music simply isn't taken seriously unless it is very blatant like Weird Al.
EDIT: Radiohead is a lock simply because they made quality serious music and people will always say "they were able to overcome Creep. How nice"
Now that I think about it, they have lot's of fans and millions of albums sold. Every record the haved released has gotten plenty of attention by the people. Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day, I miss You by Blink 182, and Californication by RHCP are huge songs that people still hear. I have a feeling that they will become classicsin 10 years. Radiohead could also be seen as a legend for releasing a free album in the net and leaving EMI music. What do you think about this? Will Green Day, Blink 182, Radiohead, and RHCP be seen as legends in the future? :DMrEnvelope
I hope not, at least I hope Green Day and Blink won't be. RHCP have some credible talent and creativity behind them, so I wouldn't mind them being looked back on as "classic". Radiohead would deserve the title as well. I mean, I guess with Blink and Green Day it's all a context thing. If you mean "classic" in the context of Creedence Clearwater Revival, Talking heads, David Bowie, Joy Division, etc., then absolutely not. If you mean "classic" as in Duran Duran, Air Supply, The Culture Club, then yeah, sure. I've got no problem with that.

People will be listening to Radiohead's "Kid A" and 'Ok Computer" in the future, though. :P Not saying you're doing it, but I know a lot of people who ask me "will people 20 years from now look back and see X band as a legend, like people do Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The beatles, etc?" as if those bands were instant legends when they were around. There are some bands that will be looked back upon fondy who, quite frankly, were simply popular. History has a way of working itself out like that though, and they turn into casino-touring acts/bands like Wayne Newton and Def leppard. Bands back in the 60s and 70s also didn't have labels with the attitudes they have now(profit>performance), so good talent is buried under forgettable music that's catchy for a while until the label churns out another forgettable act(over and over and over again). Makes it hard for modern-day bands like Spoon, My Morning jacket, Radiohead, Neutral Milk Hotel(semi-modern), Low, etc. to get big enough fanbases to translate well into history. They'll have to rely upon music archeologists who dug up the relatively popular Velvet Underground a good ways after they'd gone defunct. Now TVU are seen as visionaries and a key band in the same era as The beatles The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, etc. even though they were buried under the hype trains of the previously mentioned bands.
RHCP: Most likely, they have had several excellent albums Green Day: Maybe, dookie was huge in the 90's. I heard two songs from that CD on the way to and from school today,,,, Blink 182: No, I loved them 10 years ago but they didn't have songs that were legendary like the others......
People are already forgetting Blink 182, Green Day won't last much longer than the end of their band either. RHCP may be remembered but won't be legendary by any stretch.Radiohead's OK computer is legendary.
As much as i like Blink, they wont be considered legends. People have already forgotten about them. Green Day will be remembered as the first commercial punk band, along with The Offspring, however will fall short of being considered legendary. RHCP have a chance, cause their sound is entirely unique, and they have endured time better than most bands. Also, Flea and Frusciante are well known by a lot of people, and therefore give the Peppers more of a chance.
I think Green Day and Blink 182 are much more forgettable than RHCP. Also RHCP will probably stand as an example of how to do stadium rock live. Not only do they often perform better live than on CD, they also improvise all the time. Only very rarely will their live version of song sound the same as a studio version.
It's also pretty impressive what the band has gone through, and that they're now making music with the four of them after all that. First 2 band members died, and then frusciante was pretty much at the verge of dying too to drugs.
I think RHCP will. Those guys have been going for ages, although I like their old stuff way better. Blood Sugar Sex Magik is the best album by far. Not Blink or Greenday, even though I'm a Blink fan, not really into Green Day though. I like Blink's older, less known stuff better anyway. Dude Ranch is the best Blink album imo.
The three have potential to...I can't really think of anyone I know who can't dig at least 1 blink 182 song, it seems to be a lot of peoples fall back band, when they're in a horrible mood, throw on some blink and things seem a little brighter.
I will say that blink members side projects will never have a hope of exceeding the popularity of blink
Red Hot Chili Peppers? Overrated would be an understatement. Listen to their songs, they are the same thing over and over again. Never fresh or innovative. If they will be remebered, it will be at their height in the 90's with Under the Bridge. The best song they ever recorded.
Green Day used to be excellent. Then they completely sold out. American Idiot was loved by 6th graders worldwide, not getting the lyrics, missing the message, literally the definition of a POP song. Not punk.
Red Hot Chilipeppers yes, simply because they were really popular in 90's and carried it over into the 2000's. Green Day, i knew some people who didn't even know who they were until BOBD's came out in the 2000's. What really gets me is they have heard their songs but no clue what their band was called. Oh Jesus....... Green Day has earned their spot. Blink 182? Probably not, cause their time slot of fame was pretty brief.
I can see Blink 182 and GD being called legends, but what is RHCP?_LiquidFlame_
Red hot Chili Peppers. They are the only ones that will be known 50 years from now. I'm a big Blink 182 fan and I know they are not going to be remembered.
RHCP have been around since the early 80's and are still going strong, so yes they definitely will be. However Green Day is just a mediocre punk rock band, as if blink 182 I think, they will not be remembered in the same way as RHCP, for example, I like a little RHCP now and again, most people I know around my age do, and even some of our parents, they have a widespread popularity. However the same cannot be said for gd and b182.
