Now Busted, they were a BAND!

Busted and McFly, they're pretty much interchangeable aren't they?

Bubs101

I think Wolfmother could maybe make it as legends in the future.
great debut album and popular in the U.S. and Australia.
Of the ones that are out I think our decade will be remembered for

Britney
Christina
Pussyca Dolls et all

Makes me sad

Ah now come on, McFly are just the poor mans Busted, where's the charisma, lyrical genius and technical skill with McFly?

Think about it - all the great Busted songs - Thunderbirds, um, etc.

Radiohead, without a shadow of a doubt, will be remembered in 30 years time as the most iconic band of our time. But they had their heyday in the late 90s I think. Its really difficult to think of artists that became active in the last 8 years that will be remembered in the same way the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd etc were. I think Aphex Twin will also be revered by a large chunk of music fans for many decades to come but not in pop/rock/mainstream circles.

I agree with the poster above who said the 90s seemed to produce far better music. Maybe its just the benefit of hindsight at work but its really difficult to identify enduring acts as good as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, the Smashing Pumpkins, Fugazi, Radiohead, Yo La Tengo and Sonic Youth in the 00s, not to mention all the amazing electronic music that came out of that decade (Aphex Twin, The Orb, Squarepusher and so on).

:)The 00s were disgraceful for everything the music was trash, the T.V. was trash, the clubbing scene was trash, the boxing was trash, the footy was trash every ****ing little thing in the 00s was ****ING TRASH.

Well a lot of my fav. albums from the naughties have been from bands/singers around before 2000 - Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, Bjork, The White Stripes, Primal Scream, The Breeders etc.

I think the bands/singers that will be remembered as legends of this decade are:
Kings Of Leon
Arcade Fire
Amy Winehouse
Coldplay
The Killers
Snow Patrol

(This is based on popularity, not my personal opinions. I'm indifferent to Snow Patrol, don't particularly like The Killers and I hate Coldplay)

I think Yeah Yeah Yeahs could potentially cross over into legend status if their next album is a killer.

As far as film goes, the 00's have been fantastic. Memento, Spirited Away, The Prestige, Batman Begins, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Pan's Labyrinth, Downfall, Oldboy, V For Vendetta, Mulholland Drive, Hot Fuzz, Shaun Of The Dead, Casino Royale, Children Of Men, and so many more it minds the boggle!

I'm not going to say it's been better or worse than any other decade, but on the whole, good film makers have never stopped making good films.

Some of them I haven't seen, but I agree. My faves from the 2000s:

The two Matrix sequels (I know some may dislike, but I do love summer blockbusters)
Spider Man 1-3.
The Day After Tomorrow (again, some may dislike, but end of the world plots work for me)
Constantine
War of the Worlds (2005). I like the way the word "martian" was never mentioned throughout.
Shaun of the Dead
Dawn of the Dead (2004 remake)
Old Boy (great theme tune)
Battle Royale
This is England
Intermission - one of the best Irish films IMO
Bruce Almighty
The Lord of the Rings trilogy
Children of Men
A.I - Artificial Intelligence

Music wise, indie/rock bands like the Killers, Bravery, Snow Patrol, Coldplay will be remembered. Anything that's not boy/girl or X Factor trash, basically.

But it is in videogames where I like the 2000s the most. The Halo series, Silent Hill series, Morrowind, Oblivion, Bioshock, Far Cry 1 and 2, Dead Space, Res Evils 3, 4, Code Veronica, Deus Ex, Clive Barker's Undying, Neverwinter Nights, World of Warcraft, Fable 1 and 2, GTA (since number 3), Half Life 2, Portal, all classics which were released this decade.

I read a post there that said that the nineties are way better than the noughties in terms of music and movies. Good god, why don't you get a packet of Werther's, a nice cardigan and start all your stories with 'In my day....' :)
I think Calvin Harris, Eminem, Coldplay, Kanye West, Girls Aloud, Leona Lewis, Michael Moore 'factual' documentaries, Judge Judy, Dr Phil, Nintendo DS will be remembererd in the next decade with particular fondness by the kids of today. I personally think LCD Soundsystem and MGMT should be remembered, but I had my day . I'm not Generation X anymore, I now fit into the own house/own car demographic....lucky me!

They had that one about fancying your teacher. That was good.

Back to the original topic

How's about?
Flaming Lips - ok, they've been around since the 80's but they had their hayday in this decade.
The Shins - Depends on the next album. Every one they've made has been better than the last. If they can top Wincing The Night Away they will truly be legendary.
Arctic Monkeys - could do it, too soon to say. Song writing talent is there without a doubt, just need to push more musical boundaries
Sigur Ros - I think one of the most unique bands ever and at times untouchable. But at other times I find them incredibly tedious. So, somewhat undecided.

I can't think of one...none at all. It's a sad day...

I'm so glad I was born just before the Nineties came in, It means I have been able to see legends such as Bruce Springsteen, MEat Loaf, Waterboys and maybe Elton John next year. I pity the people who are born in mid to late 90's...I would love to have seen Creedence Clearwater Revival...

Expect a knock on the door from the taste police soon, young man.

Mars Bar

woman actually...woman.
Elton John has been in the business over 40 years, need I say more.
Meat Loaf isn't far behind him and he has the most amazing voice...25 million sales on Bat Out Of Hell. Top that...

Sincere apologies for calling you a man.

Actually, I wasn't questioning either of their "legendary" status. It was more a tongue-in-cheek observation that some people (not I, of course!) might point out that neither artist is the height of cool.

Mars Bar

Oh right, and my apologies to you.
That's the problem these days, it's all about being cool. No appreciation for good music...

Placid_Casual

Well, I never said I thought Elton John or Meatloaf were any good!

But yeah, music should be about what it means to you, not about being cool. I've been slagged off for liking the Beach Boys or Joni Mitchell. Now there's some legends for ya!

Mars Bar

The Beach Boys are the bomb!

I didn't say that you did say you liked them...but I don't mind if you don't like them. I just find it hard to understand why you wouldn't!:D

I agree that the naughties are a golden era for IDM but I'm not sure if it'll be remembered universally, unless there is some massive explosion of IDM onto the mainstream, like what happened to grunge in the early 90s.

But yeah, IDM/electronic music is where all the greatest musical innovation is taking place these days. Guys like Squarepusher and R.D. James are rewriting the rules big time. But then again they were in the 90s too.

Kold

I figure there are a whole lot of artists in the last few years that take clear inspiration from these guys though, the likes of The Knife, Radiohead, Burial, Justice, Modeselektor- They may not be Richard D when it comes down to breaking down walls but they do bring a new sound. Crystal Castles may be horribly 'hip' but they also are getting the sound noticed.

Dalton666

Had Qotsa kept Nick Oliveiri and Mark Lanegan(permanently) they would have gone on to greater things from Songs for the deaf.
Black stone cherry
The Answer
Dragonforce
Rose Hill Drive
Airbourne
A few other bands that will do very well, these sort of bands would be considered great now, had they been around in the seventies. Once more focus is returned to Rock and roll these bands will be great.

I don't really think any of those are taking inspiration from Richard D or Squarepusher.

I do think, however, that electronic music in general is going to become increasingly popular in the next few years, and I, for one, welcome it.

'Ol Jack Chance

well considering there is only 2 years left in this decade my list so far would be, (based on bands that have only had albums out from 2000 onwards and not older ones that are still going)

Arcade Fire:

Distinct sound, dark and relevant to the times especially with Neon Bible, i think these guys are gonna go down in music history.

The Hold Steady:

Quality sound seem to be getting better and better with each album especially Boys and Girls in America and Stay Positive

The National:

Another band with a dark sound, i think they take the ground work done by Joy Division into modern times.

Kings of Leon:

A lot of hype around them but still think Because the Times is a great album and i like where they take their sound in their new album.

The Killers:

Again a load of hype around them seem to have marmite effect on people but i like 'em think when they're good there really good

White Stripes:

Great kick a$$ sound what more do i need to say just give em a listen;)

notable mentions (in that they haven't got enough stuff out to properly judge)

Raconteurs
MGMT
Cold War Kids

thats bout all i can think of for now. :cool:

"the birth of indy", by which i trust you mean 'indie'...Indie's been bloody well with us since god knows; i guess when the first independent record label was set up. It became a tag (as far as i was aware) in or around the early 80's when you had the Smiths on Rough Trade, The Cure on Fiction and Depeche Mode on Mute records.

I think the term "Indie genre" was coined by Touch and Go Records in the early 80's
