So, the 60s had the Beatles, the 70s had Zeppelin, the 80s had R.E.M. and U2, Nirvana was THE BAND of the 90s. Who looks like a contender to be the definitive band of the first ten years of the 21st Century?
AboutAGirl said:I'm wondering when this is finally going to come up. For those of ya'll who recall the rise of bands like Nirvana and The Beatles, are there any warning signs we could watch for? Like.... will the anti-christ rise to power through a non-elected leader or something?
eccentric man said:no one outside their immediate area saw it coming. the local scene would have known they were onto something big but the rest of the world had yet to catch up. the thing is i can't really see that happening ever again. the reason those bands were so significant is because they had time to develop a bit before being unleashed onto the world. now the 'new' is tapped, milked, branded, and sold at hot topic before the first chord is done ringing. i'm a firm believer that the next big band/thing in music will come through the net instead of through tv but i can't see it using conventional methods to get big.
