Musicological banter

I think in 20 years Kanye will be far better known for being the father of some Kardashians or something....

You can also be assured that Andra Day is the next big thing, although her album is far to much in the Amy Winehouse range for my liking

Just like when you forecasted Alice Smith was the next big thing?

so wilco has a new album right? star wars is it?

[Space Freely]

e, feel free to cite some current-ish hip-hop albums you think will leave a lasting legacy on music say in 10-20 years...

I seriously want to know this answer too
since 1995...so past 20 years

Name 10 rap (hip-hop as the hipster prefer to call it) albums we'll be talking about ....in 10-20 years
(although I really would have a hard time making a list of indie/alt bands either...but that's not the point)

While I agree with your sentiment regarding the staying power of modern music....we'll all be 60 year old white guys in 10-20 years. I'm not sure whether we're talking about albums from 20 years past (rap in particular) will be the barometer of an albums' importance.

Isn't the question about lasting importance more accurately determined by what our kids or even grandkids are listening to 20 years (and beyond) from now?

Pitchfork loves it. I prefer the Wilco albums pitchfork hates.

Pitchfork loves it. I prefer the Wilco albums pitchfork hates.

I like it after a few listens... nothing annoys me more than the noisey nels-rockers that all sound the same.

actual description of a band

where reggae meets klezmer, cumbia meets hip-hop and indie-rock meets afrobeat. Neither purist nor revivalist, this is music of the present, for the future.

35 Years of New Order in 60 Short Minutes

[day of love-hatch lııllı|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|̲̅̅=̲̅̅|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|llıl]

35 Years of New Order in 60 Short Minutes

I think love vigilantes should have made the list...but it's not a best of as he said

[hutch]

I've said it a million times but Joy Division/New Order is the most important band of the past 35 years or so....the run between Unknown Pleasures and Technique is unmatched.


Eagerly awaiting the new album...

30 Tracks of Welsh Rock

http://welshrockforrefugees.bandcamp.com/

In light of the ongoing refugee crisis some of Wales' leading musicians have come together to unite under the banner of Welsh Rock For Refugees. The result is a Reach Out ? a 30-track album from which all proceeds will be donated to Refugee Action ? a UK based charity that helps refugees at home and abroad.
We'd like to thank everyone who has gone out of their way to ensure this album became a reality in less than seven days. We've been truly astounded and humbled by the response.
Find out more about the work of Refugee Action at www.refugee-action.org.uk
