Tomorrow's Rock Icons

[davieG]

Who will you still be playing in 30 years time from current artists as examples of rock/pop legends?

[Webbo]

[Head Honcho]

Depeche Mode

[davieG]

Never heard of Pictures

[davieG]

Depeche Mode

I wouldn't exactly view them as 'current'

Fair's fair Davie. Anything after the Bachelors is modern to you.

Says you knowing of the Bachelors aren't you embarrassed

My gran use to sing their songs to me whilst bouncing me on her knee.

[Nationwider]

I'd like to think that Pulp will last the test of time...

[stez]

the charlatans, ian brown, happy mondays, primal scream (not exactly current, but i am still playing them 20 years later).

dizzee rascal will still be played, as will the streets, fatboy slim, blur, arctic monkeys.

oh, yeah, just been reminded; gnarls barkley has some staying power too

[Libertine]

I'm sure I'll still be listening to band I do now tbh.

e.g. Muse, Foo Fighters, Pumpkins, Radiohead etc.

Bands like Arcade Fire, maybe the Libertines if they successfully reform, could be popular in years to come.

I think you'll be surprised how your music taste will change with time...

I am sure Oasis will still be trying to regurgitate the Beatles sound in 30 years.

But there are no legends anymore.

But just what is a legend? An artist/a group with a relevant message to convey; a musical prodigy; a creative musician; a showmanship act?

[Libertine]

Of course, it's the same with anyone.

I'll like loads of other stuff/styles etc, but for the most part, I'm confident I'll still at least sometimes listen to the music I do now.

I was thinking of someone like the Rolling Stones 40 years on and still playing and being played, but perhaps in this context artists from today who will be talked about, revered and played by the youth of 2038, yeh I know that's not what I asked.

but who'd've thought the rolling stones would've still been touring etc now? surely they were about their time,at the time, if that makes sense? who in the 60's would've been sitting there thinking how great it'd be if the voice of a generation were still pottering about 40 years later? don't get me wrong, it's great they are, but as a 20 year old do you want top think about it?

[The People's Hero]

Bonneh!

Right then. Well then I'd probably agree with hairy. I think there are a lot of amazingly creative and innovative artists out there today, but they don't catch the mainstream audience. Maybe Muse could pull it off and be one of the established 'borderline-mainstream' bands that could hold out for many more years, or even Radiohead/Thom Yorke.

If we are gping along the lines of The Stones AC/DC and so on, bands that still get a big crowd even at pension age then it's a difficult one you can't become a rock icon after 1 or 2 albums imo you also have to deal with the fact that almost all bands implode at some point. as far as I can see one of the main/only bands that will still be selling out massive venues in years to come is the Foo Fighters for a number of reasons...

They have already been going like 15 years or something they have a collection of big selling albums with classic songs littered throughout, they can sell out 2nights at Wembley in a matter of minutes and the biggest reason they love what they do for a living is all they want to do is make music, play music it's what keeps them going.

[The People's Hero]

Darren Hayman.

[lildave3]

Bonneh!

Bonneh em?

[Bellend Sebastian]

Darren Hayman.

His face is too lumpy.

I'll still be listening to The Fall in 30 years, I'm sure - well, if I'm still alive.

Never being particularly fashionable in the first place does seem to prolong longevity

Bonneh Tyloh.

In 30 years, I'll still be listening to Dylan. As will a lot of people.

[Part Of The Crowd]

opeth, perhaps killswitch engage

if kings of leon get any more mainstream they will definately be remembered, the band that everyone likes something of
