This is something I think about a lot. I am 23 now, and I love music. When my dad was 23 he loved music too. It was 1976 back when he was my age. Obviously some of his favorite records came out when he was my age and some of them are still talked about and remembered and influential to this day. I mean he was 11 when the Beatles took over the world and 20 when DSOTM dropped. He was there when Zeppelin were rolling! He saw Captain Beefheart and the Magic band in concert! And he saw Zappa in his prime!

Now, what will still be very very remembered and adored by the next generations out of what has been released this last, idk, 5-8 years? How will MBDTF age? Or "Suburbs" or any of the favorites of today that you have?

And I had this vision that someday I will be driving around with me son trying to introduce him to Radiohead in much the same way my Dad introduced me to The Beatles and Floyd and Zeppelin. I have often had heated debates with my father about what's the greatest Beatles record, or Floyd record. I just think I will be on cloud 9 if someday I'm heatedly debating about the true greatest Radiohead record with my son (or daughter).

Anyway, that's all.

I had fun reading this. Good post. Very thoughtful. I'd try to introduce my kid to Celtic Woman and Arcade Fire. The love of Irish music might pass on to him!

Well, by then The Antlers will have made many more perfect albums and be remembered as the best band ever..... Well, maybe not that, but they'll have a ton of great album by then and surely be fondly remembered. But yeah, that's my two cents, I think everything else I could have said has already been said in this thread. Just gotta give some Antlers love.

^ This, I wouldn't wish Indie Folk on my worst enemy. Not that it matters, everyone will know the The FF are the greatest band of this generation. 😁

This. I'm slowly putting together a chart of 50 post-rock albums and it's looking like I'll have to add 20-30 albums to the database when I finally throw it up. We've got tons of obscure stuff on this site already, but 20-30 albums from a single subgenre is quite a bit to remain unknown on a site like this. The main goal of this and similar ventures from other users is to share their findings and carry the torch of these relatively unknown bands. Especially with the internet now, it's much harder for bands to totally fade away into complete obscurity. We've got Magenta carrying the twee torch, lethal carrying the hip hop (and all its subgenres) torch, Cellar carrying the shoegaze torch, Saiorse carrying the slowcore torch, hairy carrying the psychedelia torch, etc. etc. And you know across every music forum that there's aficionados for various subgenres. As long as they exist (especially with the internet to help them) music worth listening to, and quite a bit not worth listening to, will live on.

This... the internet has definitely improved things and I do think it facilitates the revival of bands that probably would have been forgotten otherwise..

and I love the idea of torch carriers - a very lovely concept that captures the love we all feel for a specific type of music!

So are you going to pick up the Northern Soul torch when I'm gone?

I would consider my circle to be a music loving one, and I can barely remember the music of Fleet Foxes and Animal Collective now.

Anyway, every band will be remembered fondly by somebody, and that's what really matters.

True, until they die... just felt like being cynical...

1: Although adored on this site, and amongst folks that understand their influence, the general populous wouldn't consider them their favorite band still to this day. Sure it is ranked high by SOME critics, but even Rolling Stone (albeit not the favorite of this site) ranks Doolittle at 227/500, not 19 as listed on this site.

Does 'on this very site' mean something else to you than the fact I was referring to BEA?

😕

The comment was purely based on what I see here on the site and my own experience over time.

Plus Rolling Stone... not my magazine of choice on anything regarding music. I find it far too focused on one particularly narrow view of what music is and is far too backwards looking.

2: While my previous comment wouldn't agree with this statement, there are artists that 100 years after they are dead become revived... so I see it being possible, but maybe music since the 1950s is too young to really tell. Painters and composers alike have gone through such luck... but still the big ones people remember like Mozart and Beethoven were loved in their day. They were as mainstream as it got.

Tend to agree - although I struggle with the very concept that there will be a Justin Bieber revival in 2113... but who knows!!

sethmadsen wrote:

3. Gawd No!!!!

That wasn't wishful thinking... more the fact that music tends to go through revival cycles and in 20 years times maybe Britpop is going through one... who knows!?

Haha 😜 It's a good answer though. It is likely Muse will have a stable fan base over the decades.

D'oh! It just felt like the right answer.. I don't want to shoot again, I'll just miss the mark shamefully!
