How will the last decade be remembered musically?

[Fergal]

Correct, he's produced 4 albums worth of brilliant, brilliant tunes (4 albums worth: 2 Arctic Monkeys, 1 Last Shadow Puppets then a shitload of great b sides from the monkeys)
He's our next Weller I reckon, Weller were exactly the same in the Jam in terms of the amount of tunes he'd turn out that were all consistantly great

[cal]

i think the decade has been fucking brilliant.

people say oh weve only had KOL, libertines, Arctics, Bloc Party, babyshambles, Courteeners, Cribs, The Strokes, The Vines, Amy Winehouse, Coldplay. theres fucking loads of great music been made. people are too hung up on the past i think.

sure the 60s were brilliant, but REALLY, apart from the bealtes and the stones, whos still in everyones hearts?

im not saying all the bands i mentioned above will be remember in years time but Arctic Monkeys and Libertines will, the 00s were/are great for music.

[dontask]

bout sums it up doesnt it, in 20 years people will look back and say todays bands are great and the modern bands are shit.

and there will be enter shikari reformations *pukes*

The Kinks and The Who Jimi Hendrix Experience deffinatly in mine.

[dontask]

and others no doubt mate but he still makes a good point bout people been hung up on the past. we dont know who will be remembered for sure but no doubt people will be.

[antoine010891]

Good point dontask, I bet that in 1990, people weren't thinking that Roses and La's will be remembered 20 years later, both albums sold just moderately well, but are still burning away in our ears. So maybe we can't predict who will be remembered, but we can remember them ourselves and hope everone else follows the lead.

[chezza]

I think to some extent this decade has seen a revival in guitar music - dance music was king at the end of the 90s and few decent bands around - I think festivals and bands have increased increased in popularity whilst dance music has really stood still...and to some extend died a death!

[upton]

As much as I like The La's I don't think they are quite rememberd in the way that the Roses are.

[antoine010891]

Don't say that upton, not when I'm in existance anyway. I think that both bands have been just as influencial towards modern bands, in fact, I bet that if you asked other bands then more would say The La's than the Roses, simply because they did something that no one had done since the beatles and made songs that every set of ears could listen and love, but the Roses and more debatable, as brilliant as they were, not everyone liked them, but providing The La's had the chance to reach a wider audience then I think that everyone would have loved them.

[upton]

Yeah but you ask your average guy around town you herd of the La's he will go yeah There She Goes maybe where as if you ask about The Roses they will go, Stone Roses lad fucking top. See my point?

[dontask]

think your overestimating the roses popularity there.

[Fergal]

Nah I don't, not in Manchester at least, I have to agree with Upton on that one. The Roses impacted people in a massive way, particularly in the North West (though I'm not thick and think that they were exclusively to Manchester), and mean more to people than the La's, and were a better band than the La's...as much as I love the La's like.
Yeah I agree if you asked the average music fan or person at a gig or whatever about the La's and the Roses, they'd be more favourable to the Stone Roses - rightly so to be honest, as great as the La's were, the Stone Roses really were on a whole different planet

[dontask]

maybe on the whole, but we aint the only people that matter, and there are no real roses fans that i know other than on here.

agreed theyre more popular than the las though

[upton]

Really some of my mates who are into friggin bouncey house music and mcin still like The Roses.

[fastfuse]

There both great bands...the las where completley different to everything else that was going on at that time.....I think Lee Mathers is a far superiour song writer to Squire/Brown.....

BUT...I still The listen to the Roses more tha the Las...
