PrintableI think Justin, Beyonce and Christina will be remembered as the biggest pop acts of our era. All three have sufficient talent and have hits that are already set to be classics (JT with 'Rock Your Body' and possibly 'Sexyback', Xtina with 'Beautiful' and Beyonce with 'Crazy in Love').
Eminem will be remembered. "The Marshall Mathers LP" still sounds fresh since it was released 6 years ago. Lenny Kravitz will also be remembered, though I dont know whether to put him in the 1990s category or the music of today. Other acts like Coldplay, The White Stripes, Green Day, and Radiohead are guaranteed to represent our era. I also think The Killers are gonna be the next BIG band to break out and reach classic status. Hell, even some disposable pop has potential. I have a feeling that, 10 years from now, 'My Humps' is gonna be thought in the same way that we think of 'Baby Got Back'. | |

I guess a similar question to ask is would you want to listen to most of today's music in 10, 20, 30 years? Will you remember this time fondly or with gloom? Jeux Sans Frontiers | |

But Em is already being considered among great artists of all time (albeit by dubious listings by dubious music publications). I think he and others will be revered as the years go on. God no!

pkidwell said: Since when was this an Eminem thread? Meshelle Ndegeocello, Mars Volta, Raconteurs, Queens of the Stone Age, Kings of Leon, Outkast, Ween, TV on the Radio, Beck, Sufjan Stevens, Common, The Roots, etc. I know I'm missing a lot but these are just a few of the acts making great music these days. Will they leave a lasting legacy? Some already have.
I love the Kings of Leon and Queens of the Stone Age.  (among others you just listed)
But do you think they will leave a lasting legacy?  Maybe among their immediate fan base, but in general probably not, even though they are making great music. Most people don't even listen to these guys, let alone know who they are I think."I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |
