Your point=invalid

what is this

a really stupid thread

Yes, another one.

 

i was serious about closing this thread

What's wrong with Beyonce..? That girl can siiing.

 

And seriously, who cares who the biggest band is.

i was serious about closing this thread

just don't post in it anymore and it will end up in the netherworld otherwise known as page 2

90's - nirvana

 

vs.

 

 

(sorry this will be my last post i promise)

90's - nirvana

 

Growing up in the 90s, I can say this is 100% false. The 90s will always be synonymous with hip hop and R&B.

 

If I was forced to pick the world's biggest band of this era, it would easily be U2. Their Zoo TV and PopMart tours were just massive.

 

Now I've said this before but the 1990s music scene is criminally underrated by so many people. In fact, the 90s have to be the most interesting period for music. You saw the peak of the shoegaze scene with seminal albums from My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive and Ride. You had the Grunge acts like Nirvana and Pearl Jam and the subsequent response to Grunge music with Britpop acts, such as Blur, Oasis, Pulp and Suede. You had the Indie Rock scene really blossoming with the successes of bands like Flaming Lips and Pavement. You saw punk pop becoming popular with acts like Green Day and Weezer. Not to mention the Alternative Music scene becoming popular with bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Smashing Pumpkins (I still remember watching the latter's cameo in an episode of the Simpsons).

 

You saw the development of IDM with acts like Aphex Twin, Autechre and Squarepusher. You saw the refinement of electronic music with albums from the likes of Boards of Canada and others. You saw the origin of Trip Hop with acts like Massive Attack + Portishead. We had Björk take the mantle from Kate Bush as the best (and most eccentric) female artist of her generation. We had Radiohead effectively declare themselves as the Best Band in the World in 1997 with the release of OK Computer. We then saw the explosion of Radiohead inspired acts, laying the foundation to acts like Coldplay, Muse and Travis.

 

Now for those of you who actually managed to get to this point, you're probably wondering what was the point of that long (and unnecessary) post? It's just to serve as a reminder to respect the 1990s. It wasn't just a period of oversized shirts you know :hippy:

80s- Micheal Jackson

 

auuuugh

When I create this thread it was more about the future of the music industry. I ask everybody to know if they think artist can continue to create universal melodies (like the Beatle, pink floyd, U2, Oasis, Blur). Today there only dance music and a lot of sample (Flo rida) but less and less new melodie.

I'm afraid one day there only dance music and no more place for other music.

1. Today there's not only dance music. Perhaps you are listening to the wrong radio channels/looking too much MTV Dance channel/going to the wrong CD selling shops. There's a lot of good/original/authentic new stuff out there, you just have to look a bit harder to find it :nice:

2. At some point all melodies are created and there's simply no new melody that can be created.

3. Why wouldn’t dance music be a good medium to come up with new melodies?

Maybe closing, yes.

Not rad io hea d. :fingersx:

I feel bad : (

Can someone tell me name of the good new band. I think I don t know them. I like espacially piano band like keane. In fact i don t like band like maccabee, club dance, the vaccine...

oh god this board is turning into the rock and pop section of yahoo answers

I actually want a real anwser here - not sarcasim - from a non - U.S citizen.

 

Was/is Nirvana popular where you are? I would say they're pretty big in the U.S, bigger than Oasis is here at least. But Oasis was huge in Europe (arguably they lasted alot longer though, and thus had more of a chance to build a loyal fanbase). I've always seen Nirvana shirts now and again, especially now with the 20th anniversary, but is it like that outside of the U.S? Anyone got any thoughts?

Your point=invalid

 

My point=more valid than yours

What point?

Stevie Wonder: Blind but plays piano and sings, therefore inspiration

MJ: Fighting racial criticism, while releasing plenty of hits, still popular today

 

^This point.

Beyonce isn't a band.

Both your points = invalid :P

neither are MJ or SW, so why are we even having that debate?

^This point.

 

That's not a point. That's just ignoring what Christina said.
