Good call!
I think there's plenty of hope for this generation when we hear Japanese female bands that can remind you of King Crimson and Frank Zappa while doing something completely their own.
Very nice @rad3d ....and they all looked cuter than Zappa or Fripp.
That's just the icing on the steak...
Yawl got it wrong. Its disco biscuits! And their improv ability. Get hip yo.... Of course my taste reigns supreme...
I've yet to see one 'new' name who can hold a candle to the innovation , creativity and influence on popular culture of the Beatles . The odd good moment yeah , but nowhere close to the continual invention and just complete quality if the music they made . Give up now , hipsters lol
Almost by definition, as they defined so much, there will never be another Beatles in rock/pop.
100 years ago it was all about jazz; 50 years ago it was about rock; now it is about electronic(yes, even guitar music nowadays is so overproduced that most of the times falls into elctronic music); in another 50 years it will be about brainwaves.
I didn't read through the whole thread, did anyone take a swipe at Radiohead? I have a 30 page rebuttal on my blog, if any dare to blaspheme.
Fear not, we have a sleeper Radiohead Militia in place.
On the mainstream mediums , maybe . If you go and see live music here , or at most festivals to be honest , the majority of music is not going to be electronic , or a bloke crouching over an iPad checking his twitter account during the easy bits . Folky , rocky , punky , heavy , world music is still on the menu outside in the real world
This thread has turned into a beauty, ugly duckling etc.
I see the whole thing as a river. There is a source where things have started brewing and there is a sea where everything ends up. Many look upstream to see the Bachs, Elvis', Beatles', Wonder and (insert here your personal favourite).
Now we're well downstream, the river seems lazy but shifts awfully lot of water, no way to see the big pic unless you're in a helicopter, and even then things get hazy.
Then there's the spectators on the banks. Some have been there for a long time and have taken in bits of every curve the rivers carved. Some picked their section to forever call their own and some see new things to add to the canvas.
What's the point in comparing edm to rock n'roll if not to highlight the best of each èra. Saying that the few greats of the past have not been surpassed is a little silly. Some will say that they've been surpassed several times over.
Some of the new acts are indeed bringing a new interesting sound and Beatles or Elvis certainly didn't invent rock n'roll...
It's a river, remember?
We live an extremely disposable era of music where the bar of entry is low. We, as iOS music makers, in particular should be aware of that. It's difficult to compare now to 40 years ago when the chance of getting heard was only afforded to those who paid their dues on the road or in the studio for years and when you had to know how to play really well.
We live in a crossover era where the many of the giants are still amongst us selling out on tour and popular youth music is more disposable than it ever was as is culture in general. To become known as the 'best' now is almost an impossible task. I think when all the greats of last century are gone new 'big names' will emerge.
Personally I don't care if there is a 'greatest' now. If I hear something and like it then I'll listen to it ... and in this day and age of hyper commercial pop there are only a few underground acts that appeal to me. Otherwise I can continue to explore and get inspiration from the past. I still haven't heard everything previous centuries have to offer.
Sure! My point was exactly about what is "on mainstream mediums" which usually point out in which golden age we are living. Not saying that the past get erased every new era, because it is actually a flow rather than a stairwell. Classical music is still been played, medieval scores still get a rework from time to time, all past music is a legacy to what it has been done today, but I really can't say from my perspective that contemporary live acts are cutting edge but are rather someway nostalgic and vintage; to get some fresh air they borrow elements from electronic music such as heavily gated drums, which EDM borrowed from '80 synth pop, guitar chords get often layered with some synth and so on but I can't see any big revolution coming in traditional live acts.
The way I see it, there's nothing in the last more than hundred years that matches the "greatness" of Bach, Beethoven, or Brahms. Nothing since the Beatles has matched that group's impact on pop music culture and the songwriting genius that produced so much in just a few years. I'm not going out on a limb to say this. All music and eras of music can't be equal. Are we in transition as a culture, and not yet a golden age? If so, why get defensive about it? Similar to what pichi said, if I like something, I don't enjoy it less because it's not Brahms.
I'd nominate Will Oldham into the modern greats category. More of a Nick Drake than a John Lennon in that it might take 30 years for anyone to give a shit but he's really something else.
I really like Bernhoft. Check out this great track he just released.
I, of course, agree. He means it.
Not quite modern, but J Dilla is easily categorizable as 'great'. Basically transformed hip hop himself.
Speaking of that era, Richard D James was the Brian Wilson of the 90s. At least in that total sonic mastermind sense.
In the roll of Bruce Springsteen, I'd nominate Sufjan Stevens.
I nominate AG Cook but honestly there are soo many amazing musicians that grand statements are silly.
Also, toumani diabate is way up there. Shreds harder than Hendrix lol.
There is greatness in elevator pop category too
Didn't know about this new track ! Thanks !
Was not expecting to see an AG Cook reference in this thread! I'd have to say I prefer SOPHIE's stuff (and maybe Danny L. Harle) a bit more.
Toumani Diabate rules!
Nice dude! I love all those guys, not sure if I can pick a favorite really. We'd be friends I bet. African music and future beats ftw.
