LiamD Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Here's a good debate for y'all. We were discussing this last night in an incredibly drunken manner.Question - what songs do we hear now, or have heard in the past 10/15 years, that will be still listened to and loved in another 10 or 15 years time? Personally, I don't think a lot of modern music will stand the test of time like the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Elvis, etc.So, with Youtube links where possible, fire away My suggestions - . I would say any of The Verve's records (bar Forth) will still sound fresh in 15 years time, but I am a bit biased!Foo Fighters - Everlong. Possibly a little biased since it's one of my favourite tracks, but they are an incredible band. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDGM Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 I'm not going to link, but I'd go with the following. These are objective suggestions, some not being favourites at all.Sabotage - Beastie BoysUnder the Bridge - Red Hot Chili PeppersLove Machine - Girls AloudAngels - Blobbie RobbieFools Gold - Stone Roses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamD Posted November 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 See when I think of the Stone Roses, I think 'I am the Resurrection'. Agreed on Robbie, it's actually a track I don't mind, I think it's impossible to hate that song.What about Primal Scream? Movin' On Up and Loaded are potentially future classics.

iTomKelly Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Definately agree with 'Under the Bridge' and even though it may be too early to say I'm gonna throw 'Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire' into the mix. Also I never tire of 'blur - Tender'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 A lot of the bands and songs that are considered classics were the first ones of the genre, The Stones, Beatles and Elvis were there at the birth of Rock N Roll. Led Zep and Deep Purple, etc were the start of Heavy Metal. Sex Pistols and Buzzcocks part of the Punk revolution. The later bands don't seem to be remembered as much.Pop is quickly forgotten about, that's just the nature of it. I don't get it when you ask someone what music they like and they say 'chart stuff'. So they only listen to what's on the radio now. What about the stuff they were listening to 5 years ago in the charts? They probably couldn't even name most of their favourite songs back then. Anything from the X-factor et al is forgotten by the time the next series starts, no longevity to anyone that has ever been on it.I can't see the Chili Peppers or the Foo's ever being as 'classic' as The Beatles. They won't be as well known.Maybe I thought about that too much rather than just saying some songs I like. Everlong and Under The Bridge are mint songs though.Agreed on Robbie, it's actually a track I don't mind, I think it's impossible to hate that song.Disagree!

LiamD Posted November 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 They may have been the pioneers, but surely these new artists can 'refine' the genre? Personally, I really dislike the Beatles!I do think the Arctic Monkeys will become a classic band, they were the first of the Myspace created bands, the first band to become massive through the internet, and they write VERY good songs. It's also nice the Alex Turner sings in a Yorkshire accent, and doesn't put on a ****e Yank accent like some bands.Another song though - The Libertines - Don't Look Back Into The Sun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Oh yeah, I'm by no means saying they're the best, I don't like the Beatles either.I just can't see any subsequent bands ever being held in the same regard as The Beatles. Literally everybody knows them.Other bands mentioned might be 'classic' rock bands, but The Beatles are just classic, if you know what I mean.

Everybody knows Take That, although they haven't become big in the USA like The Beatles did, maybe whatever band can crack the USA and have the mass appeal of Take That will become 'our' Beatles.What do you think about bands like The Prodigy become classics? Will we still have the same love for them in our 50's as we did in our 20's? Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicki Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 .Agreed. I still get goosebumps from this song.Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili PeppersAbsolutely.Semisonic - Closing timeAgreed, even though in my opinion, "Secret Smile" is a better song.Kings of Leon - Sex on FireAgain, I agree that it will become a legendary song given time, but in my opinion, "Use Somebody" is a better song. My additions to the list:Faithless - Insomnia (Although it's already there as it was released in about 1995 I think? 14 years later & it still gets the same amazing reaction from people.)The La's - There She GoesFeeder - Buck RogersGreen Day - Good RiddanceOcean Colour Scene - The Day We Caught the TrainThe Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicki Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 I'm struggling to pick a song for the Stereophonics. I've been a fan for many many years but I can't find one song that I like enough that I would consider it to be worthy of the "classic" title.I forgot to add Paul Weller - You do something to me. One of my absolute favourite songs of all time. (As an aside - I've got a client who manufactures and sells high-spec audio equipment - most of it is professional equipment that you'd see on stadium tours / in recording studios etc. Last time I visited them, they gave me a demo of some of their kit and played Seal's "Kiss From a Rose" and I got goosebumps - full on chill down my spine. That song, turned right up, on equipment of that quality (without any processing either - straight from the CD through the equipment, no graphic equalizer or anything) was absolutely *amazing*.)

Gib_ Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Foo Fighters - Everlong. Possibly a little biased since it's one of my favourite tracks, but they are an incredible band.Seen them live last year. they done Everlong acoustic. I had tears in my eyes. best song ever. My hero is my all time classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prayer for the Dying, Deep water, Whirlpool and Future Love Paradise are all absolutely amazing tracks which are some of the best produced tracks I've heard!Another future classic (IMHO of course):Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away Edited November 27, 2009 by nfbr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcusgrant Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 I'm struggling to pick a song for the Stereophonics. I've been a fan for many many years but I can't find one song that I like enough that I would consider it to be worthy of the "classic" title.Agree with the stereophonics.. i think the track for me is Dakota, always makes me feel good when it comes on Link for it.... I think KOL will definitely be a band that i will remember and listen to for years to come... IMO all their albums have been great and varried.Personally, an album for me that i will always have is The Foals - Antidotes. Not massively well know band, but definitely one of my favourite all time albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamD Posted November 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 If I was going to suggest a Stereophonics song, it would have to be Local Boy in The Photograph. Such a good song to drive to.What about Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
