in twenty, thirty, forty plus years time, what do you think people will look back at as the "classics" of the 00s/10s?

personally, i think pic related is a serious contender.

Arcade Fire will be that shitty dadrock band everyone makes fun of like the Eagles.

Animal Collective will go down in history as one of the greatest pop bands of our era.
>>
>>48386137
that's the thing. I seriously doubt this will happen. ask a pleb to name some top 40 tracks from two, three, four years ago and I bet they'd struggle to remember. due to the nature of filesharing and digital distribution, music is no longer created to be longer lasting; instead it is created to be disposable.
>>
Nobody will remember Deathgrips I can tell you that much.
>>
Kid A, maybe MPP if AnCo can continue their growing fanbase. It's hard to tell because more critically acclaimed music is becoming less and less popular, and to be widely looked back on as "classic" outside of music enthusiasts an album must be somewhat popular (or pick up popularity in latter years) and critically acclaimed (or pick up acclaim in latter years). I think Kanye will be looked back on as a second-tier classic, not on a Nirvana or Beatles level, but more of a Tom Petty level (Critically acclaimed, successful, ends up at the back end of RollingStone's top 100 artists.) MAYBE Death Grips will be thought of as a cult classic like The Velvet Underground because of their short lifespan. On the rap side of things, GKMC will be remembered as a classic, and I don't think any album released between 2000 and now will be remembered as a classic like that except maybe a Kanye album. It bridged the gap between critical and commercial success in a time when the gap was getting larger and larger.
>>
>>48386123
90s, close enough
>>
>>48386157
Yeah they will. Like them or not, Death Grips are definitely going to be remembered.

Odd Future will be remembered as that edgy group for teens. Like the Sex Pistols.

Sufjan Stevens will be remembered as that one Christian musician who was actually pretty good.
>>
>>48386156
Yeah its defiantly not created to last past a few weeks but the "artists" themselves will be remembered. Ask pretty much anyone and their grandma's who lady gaga is and I bet they can at least give you a vague answer.

Amy Winehouse
>>
Radiohead will be the Pink Floyd of our generation.

Death Grips will still have a cult following and new generations of weird high schoolers will discover their music.

MBDTF and MPP will be pop classics.

>>48386255
>>48386175
to be fair though, i can understand some of lady gaga's albums being remembered as a "classic".

listenable music that was archetypical of its era, as well as excelling at it. to an extent lady gaga embodied 00's pop culture.
>>
>>48386094
I think the concept of universaly acclaimed classics is slowly starting to disappear mainly because the huge increase in (sub)genres that we have experienced since the late 80s/early 90s. I mean look at all those smaller genres we have nowadays like vaporwave, blackgaze and so on. As a consequence of this I think that in the future there will mainly be genre classics but rarely any albums like The Velvet Underground and Nico or Dark Side of the Moon that are considered to be overall pop music classics

thats somewhat self defeating though, as you said there has been a huge increase in genres, which would indicate a huge increase in classics. but we are not seeing it, and many of these subgenres have not yet/will not leak into popular culture as to cement themselves as classic.

>>48386305
What I was trying to say was that there are now so many genres that everyone's music taste has become way more specialized than lets say 30 years ago. This and also the fact that the internet has made it super awesome to disagree on absolutely everyfuckingthing has made it increasingly hard for an album to become a classic

Kids realised they had nothing in common with street hustlers rapping about prison and moving bricks so they may as well listen to some cheekily self-aware black dude rapping about being god over enya samples.

And it fucking worked. People started to notice they could rap about everything over anything, and the internet could substitute for lack of promotion from the mainstream music industry.

Funeral is already considered a modern classic really. I think it's even more generally recognised than even Kid A for example.
>>
MPP and a couple Kanye releases for sure, Arcade Fire are basically becoming U2 and have huge exposure so they'll likely score an Achtung Baby-style hit record that critics love soon. I can see Death Grips being remembered quite fondly if Jenny Death is at least 8/10 (my fingers are crossed).
>>
>>48386805

People talk a lot about Funeral (and rightly so, it's great) but I think history will be kind to Neon Bible. As a pop document of the Bush-era and all of the anxiety of that time it will likely be re-evaluated. I can also see The Suburbs gaining even more critical heft come reissue time, not so much for Reflektor (I think that will actually be viewed less positively in retrospect despite the first track being awesome).

We're talking about classics, albums that would be instantly recognisable to the majority of people. Swans records are never going to be accessible or widely known enough to be considered classics. Cult classics perhaps, but not classics.

Think what you want about the album, but you can't deny the impact that Toxicity had at it's release.

This isn't a list or good or bad music, but in my opinion these likely will be remembered as "classics":
Funeral
Kid A
MBDTF
Untrue
MPP
TMS
The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me

for one reason or another, all these are relatively memorable (whether they're good or not is personal opinion) and already relatively well known

Kid A and LYSFLATH are so far ahead of everything in the 21st century. They will age the best by far and make everything else sound like the dated indie rock/rap shit that it will become. There are a few others but those two are the main ones

I almost doubt anything will be considered classic though, we are in a post-classic culture
>>
>>48395616
no were not
some people are just obsessed with reliving past moments in popular culture
that album is a good example, even if the flaming lips are way more talented than any other "psych" band from recent memory
>>
>>48386094
I think someone mentioned this, but to be a classic, it has to be a) popular b)critically acclaimed and/or c) initially hated but acclaimed later on. Note that I did not mention that it has to be good or appeal to the edgy fags that inhabit this board. Also, the music must be easy to pass down to future generations. If it does not appeal to at least a fraction of the generation that is not born yet, then it'd just be that weird music that died out.

As far as my knowledge extends, the following bands have albums with the potential to be classics:

Radiohead
Animal Collective
Coldplay
The Strokes
Green Day
The Killers
Kayne West
RHCP (kinda already there, but they are still technically active)
Bon Iver (needs to put more out there though)
Sufjan Stevens
Aphex Twin
LCD Soundsystem
Metallica
Phoenix
Arctic Monkeys
Daft Punk
Sigur Ros
Arcade Fire
Vampire Weekend
Eminem
White Stripes
Jay Z
etc.

Many more to name but you get the jist. If I had to make a list of bands with the highest potential to be "classics" (ie when you are 40 and your kids ask you what was popular in your day similar to how our parents say Queen, Led Zep, etc). It'd go:

Radiohead
LCD Soundsystem
Metallica
Coldplay
AnCo

For some reason I just can't see myself telling my child that Kanye was good enough to make music that is good for that long.

amy whinehouse put a lot of effort into her craft, had a good sense of the history behind her music, and made flavorful music

I agree with you more or less but it HAS been acclaimed as one of the (if not The) frontalbum of the whole cali surf punk movement that's been around for a bit more than a few years now. Some bands get more recognition (Thee Oh Sees, Ty Segall) but there's rarely a specific album mentioned for them.

fyi just because you pull something out of your ass doesn't make it a "real and specific thing"
>>
>>48398965
whole foods is over-priced yuppie feed
you can eat healthy and go to the regular grocery store
also, if you think you're better than anyone because you're rich, you should kill yourself
that term gets thrown around a lot on here but i sincerely mean it here
>>48398927
yes, it is music popular amongst yuppies in their late 20s and early 30s who love over-priced health food and their ipads
it typically tries really hard to be "authentic" and "emotional" while being histrionic and un-convincing
examples:
mumford and sons
arcade fire
pomplamoose
bon iver

Pink is probably more likely. It gained a wider audience than Feedbacker, although I personally like Feedbacker more.
