What our children's children will still listen to? - Music

Based on the overall bands or album list, which albums/acts do you think will become mostly forgotten once the current generation of amateurs passes the flame on to the next and then on to the next ... I for myself think that Oasis will become mostly unheard of once the current fans are no longer in the driver seat. I expect the same for many of the top albums/bands that feature so prominently on the NME 's 100 Best Albums Of All Time, albums and acts such as The Stone Roses, My Bloody Valentine, Pixies (though not as sure about this one). I really wonder what will happen to acts like The Smiths and am particularly curious about whether Jack White has earned his place in the music history books as a main force or as a side note? I suspect he earned his seat but sometimes Rock'n Roll can be a vicious game. What about Radiohead, Muse or your current favorite band?

A best first two seconds of an album or song thread would be great. 😁

What if the first two seconds is just silence?

Well then it better make room on the shelf for the ones which don't have that silence 😈

Maybe I was a bit harsh... but I do get a bit freaked out when I see 12 year olds with charts that are 60%+ made up of music from the 60s... that is not a nostalgic 'remembering the music of the past' - that is living in an idealised version of the past... I stand by it - that just feels wrong to me!

Is this supposed to refer to me? Because once again somebody makes the same mistake as Norman Bates.

I am not 12 years old. I am TWELVE years old. Now let me proceed.

About those stats you seem to have made up..........if you properly calculated the percentage of '60s albums on my chart, it is 38%.

What on earth made you think I was talking about you?

Much as it may surprise you Eggman - not everything is about you!! 😁

I think Kurt is going to make a comeback. You know, once Dave gets out of the Foo Fighters.

And off the mic 🤣 🤣

He is like the Phil Collins of Nirvana

True, except Phil Collins has more talent

Eh I don't know I like both bands (Genesis more) It's the front men that make it though, I never thought the drumming was anything spectacular, by either of them. their sing/songwriting leaves at lot to be desired though

Sorry for responding to something 6 months old but I gotta say Phil Collins is a monster on the drums. The guy is the epitome of spectacular on early Genesis.

Good one! Might try to remember that some time!

And thanks for answering my question, anyways!
