so in 20 years or so, who do you think will be regarded as
a classic from our time period here in the 90s-00s? i think
bands like radiohead and tool will be still highly regarded
as well as afx and probably autechre, but maybe boc falls
through the cracks...but who is our great artists that will
pass the test of time?

i've honestly never considered this.

i think aphex and autechre already are regarded classics.
and their music will surely hold in 20 years time as
well..there's jeff mills, pan sonic..if i focus on
electronic music.

justice - d.a.n.c.e. will be regarded as a classic

i really don't see how boc wouldn't be considered important

why would you think they're important? mhtrtc will be
considered a classic within idm, but boc won't be seen as an
important band imo.

they may not be considered important but they'll still be
listened to, at least music has the right to children.

i think in the future artists will take influence to
extrodinary fx guitar work of Zepplin and Hendrix, with the
cross platformization of Tom Jenkinsons work but with the
more technical simplicity and emotional output of Ae.

I predict a collab of jack white and luke vibert.

or BOC

honestly and this is a very pessimistic view, i think the
kids of tomorrow wont listen to music or think it is
important - it will be geezers like us that keep this music
spinning, if someone from the future likes it, that will be
the miracle.

but if i think of it in a more optimistic sense - i would
hope that certain artists such as drexciya, autechre, and
maybe aphex would be considered important to the music
during their time, as this is obviously the case. i think
the true influence these artists will have may never been
known.

think of marvin gaye, everything these days that is remotely
rnb is marvin gaye, but who knows this other than a small
portion of the rnb music lovers.

no. thats totally wrong.

the pioneers of the genres will be classic; aphex twin, daft
punk, tool, jeff mills.. and so on.

jules verne, lol

i agree with chuck, i think the pioneers of genres will be
studied for a long time....i do think that ae and afx are
classics but i think that there will be bands like tool, who
will be obsessed over and kids will be wearing tool t-shirts
to high school in 2020...like zep is today

but i also think that as more and more people are making
electronic music at home and the scene becomes more and more
watered dow, ae and afx will be highly regarded in 2020

i think Radiohead will be remembered by a lot of people,
Tool by some, Aphex Twin and Autechre only by people
interested in electronic music.

i may be wrong, but i think a band has not only to be
innovative (or, at least, to seem innovative enough) but
also to be popular in order to be remembered by many people
as a classic from its time... i may be wrong, or forgetting
some bands, but i can't think of a band which was overlooked
or only known by aficionados in its time and has become
really popular now. this kind of situation only seems to
happen with painters, sculptors, writers etc.

now of course, if you're thinking of classic in the
genre of electronic music and not just popular classic in
general, then Aphex Twin and Autechre definitely do have
their chances.

i think Björk, Blur and Massive Attack will also probably
be remembered as popular classic bands of the 90s, maybe
Outkast as well — can't tell for the 00s since there seems
to be a lot of "revival" tendencies...

From what i've read about The Velvet Underground and The
Stooges, they were considered awful by the mainstream press
of the early seventies, then a few years later they were a
big influence on punk.

If you look back at Kraftwerk, they were considered a
novelty band by some, but geniuses by others. But I don't
think many people realised that they were going to be one of
the most influential bands ever.

A lot of music now seems inconsequential to me, too weighed
down by it's influences, a feeling of going through the
motions, (look at someone like Pete Doherty, how he plays
the role of "rock star"). I'm not really sure who is
interesting enough to be remembered.

bands like sabbath from back in the day re still as big as
ever...people will never forget floyd, sabbath, zep, dead,
etc...i was just wondering if people thought that there was
going to be anything like that from our generation....the
80s didnt spring too many big bands for the ages...i doubt
people will be rockin men without hats in 2020

That's another one, Sabbath. Weren't critics dismissive of
them originally? Like they were a novelty horror group.

i was thinking in terms of influental as well..but if you
look closer this thread was about what may become
classic..and that will probably be robbie williams.

but again..it depends on listeners. mainstream folks will
praise robbie and those interested in alternative music will
praise more obscure, influental stuff. same as nowdays.

The only possibly progression I can think of lies in
surround sound, where you would sit and the music would
invade you from everywhere. Plenty of room for depth and
scope here. Otherwise, now that you can make any sound out
of thin air, copy any sound and do practically anything with
sound, the whole shabang has hit an impasse.

Electronic music now is a jumble sale, nothing is new, only
weak gimmicks.

i agree with was said earlier, everything is WAY too weighed
down by its influences.

people seem way too scared/stupid/uninterested to try
something new.

thanks!

Aphex Twin and Autechre will become classics I belive. I
consider Aphex Twin as a classic now though.

well even the term classic is a popular music term, for
instance classic music, music of the 50's 60's and such, the
golden oldies - so yes robbie williams will be classic,

I took this thread to mean influence, whose influence will
artists of tomorrow (meaning artists that will be around
after the artists of today stop making music) be kicking
around still.

velvet underground is a good contemporary example - also
kraftwerk, however they are still around today making music
as kraftwerk.
