"actually think the one direction song 'what makes you beautiful' will be around " Yeah, can imagine people in a pub singing that in 2046 | |||
"someone like you - adele " This is a good one. Maybe something by Amy Winehouse. | |||
"actually think the one direction song 'what makes you beautiful' will be around Yeah, can imagine people in a pub singing that in 2046" surely classics are only classics because adults revisit their youth and reminisce? The 13yr old girls will be doing just that in 2046 when they are 43  | |||
"Interesting question. Answer - almost none, we live in an era of utterly, utterly shit music." We were talking about this the other week. With the arrival of the little one we looked up the number 1 on the day we were born. Mine was dancing in the street and the little ones was hello by Adele. There's just no classics or mega stars now. B | |||

"Interesting question. Answer - almost none, we live in an era of utterly, utterly shit music." I don't agree. There is a lot of very good music around, not necessarily mainstream, but that doesn't mean it's not there 
Though I think there is lots of good pop stuff about. I like Adele, Bruno Mars, Olly Murs and 5 Seconds of Summer .... And many more | |||

Not really. This topic came about because my friend was singing songs from the 70s. She was born in 1980. "music is timeless.. any generation can discover it. i get my love of 80's rock and 70's disco because my parents like to re visit their youth. | |||

B" Well, there are 'Megastars', but they are the thoroughly packaged, over produced, mega hyped and overplayed corporate puppets who ultimately burn out swiftly only to be quickly replaced with the next model, the times when artists could rack up one hit after another just through the irresistibly catchy and memorable nature of their songs is long gone. Take Nicki Minajs Anaconda for example, it's just a Sir Mixalot sample played over and over again whilst she delivers an entry level rap glamorising crime before the whole thing falls apart as she goes on about how much she hates 'skinny' girls, all packaged with a video of her shaking her arse - it's about as perfect an example of just how far music has fallen as I can imagine. | |||

That's what I was trying to say. We are rockers at heart so excuse some of the examples, but there won't be anyone ever again the level of Kiss, Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams, U2 etc. Though bands will get big still, they won't ever have that longevity or status that will have people rushing to gigs for years. Whether you love or hate these artists, you still can't doubt their success. B | |||

Whether you love or hate these artists, you still can't doubt their success. B" Whilst I don't particularly like the bands you mentioned, I see where you're coming from, there comes a point where a certain artist or bands longevity and consistency of their material goes for so long that they almost transcend their musical genre and become true legends of music, but this takes time - not 5, 10, 15 or even 20 years, they must have produced incredible music which has stood the test of time for decades before they qualify, and not simply be the current flavour of the month (I remember I think it was in 1999 that Robbie Williams was voted the second greatest male musician OF ALL TIME, beaten only by Elvis!). There are many, many hits from the 80s and prior which still sound as fresh, goosebumpy and exciting now as they did back when they were first released (though I'm too young to remember that stage for some of them ), whereas if you listen to some 90s hits, they sound painfully dated and mostly unlistenable now, like the Spice Girls, who are a perfect example of the soulless corporate vehicles I mentioned further up - massive in their day despite the fact they were trash even then, and their songs now...forget it, they've practically disintegrated.
The true nature of art and music cannot be harnessed by money alone. | |||

"Exactly my point. The music industry will argue piracy did it, but a study showed people who pirated music were more likely to then buy it, provided it was any good. Perhaps the internet does have something to answer for though? Many, many more bands are available to access now. New music could be discovered daily. Meaning whatever the radio was playing isn't all you listen to. That coupled with the aforementioned soulless bands, artists etc and reality shows really don't make me interested in much from the last 10 years. Though Robbie Williams was a good shout. He could stand a bit of time. B" Just out of curiosity by the way, what was the Christmas number one this time? | |||

"Cha cha slide will still be played at weddings and parties. " So will Agadoo, so that's not much of an accolade. | |||
