Songs/Riffs/Bands/Lyrics from this decade that will live on

[Toshowyouwhy]

I was thinking how every decade seems to have a band or a song or something like that that really epitimise the decade, and the styles of music created throughout. I was wondering what you guys thought would epitimise this decade musically.

Would it be the hip-hop and rap stage that seems to have emassed most of the decade, or the poppy hooks of Britney Spears etc? Will the rock bands of this generation live down with those from previous years, or will the crapily catchy novelty songs that have spouted out with regualarity be remembered??

Hopefully nearly every single band, song and their lyrics from this decade will be forgotten. This is by far the worst decade for music ever.

I can't really think of any riffs off the top of my head that will remembered apart from Seven Nation Army.

 

[soupaman]

Are you gonna be my girl - Jet

 

[Coach Bombay]

Depends on your style.

Just a random riff that comes to mind. Machine Head - Halo.

Heavy as 4 monster trucks.

since 2005-ish things have started to pick up.

because i'm such an anal retentive ****er (when it comes to my music collection anyway) i decided to check the dates of my 5 star songs. i have 93 in total, but only 3 that were written/released in the period 1996 to 2005. doesn't suprise me at all.

The internet age has dissolved any notion of these generational-type songs. There will be no universal, or even generally accepted 00s sound, bands or songs, as much as the music experts, pundits and indie mags will try to tell us otherwise. Within smaller groups of people who enjoy similar genres/bands, they will exist, but applicable to the wider audience/populace, no way. It's dead.

Have fun though, hipsters.

 

[Ninty]

Foo Fighters - All My Life
Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows

are the first two I thought of...

 

[Mesc]

"Beautiful Day" - U2

And isn't so much better this way? I know I think it is.

 

[morton09]

Muse - Knights of Cydonia?

 

[DJ Dupree]

Something by Coldplay, that makes you think of buying a hamburger.

My deep, meaningful generation

 

[Johnson#26]

Foo Fighters - All My Life
Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows

are the first two I thought of...

QOTSA, not a bad one there at all. Remember when it came out ch9 loved using it on their footy highlights.

 

[omit]

OutKast - Hey Ya

 

[mcgarnacle]

i was really enjoying the country rock stylings of the Kings of Leon prior to them changing their focus from creating great music to creating music to make teenage girls cream themselves/guys getting into them because 'they're cool' and making a heap of cash via mainstream airplay. most of their last two albums has been absolute shite IMO.

but they do have an entry with regards to the thread's subject - 'sex on fire.' everyone gets going for it in bars, etc. its cool for today because people are obsessed with the subject matter.

artic monkeys - 'i bet you look good on the dancefloor' is another popular one for the decade.

not a really big fan of the above two tracks but apt for the thread.

but yes, this decade has been absolute shite for new music. and with the increasing rise in manufactured music made for solo artists, and the popularity of so many female artists singing about shite to a catchy tune, it'll only get worse IMO.

QOTSA were looking good up until Songs for the Deaf, then Nick Oliveri left and 'lullabies' was shite.

cant think of anything else.

 

[omit]

If Sex on Fire is the song that lives on from this decade I might as well just off myself now. I can't stand it as is and the thought of having to hear it for another 50 years is one of the most depressing things i could ever imagine

 

[Ninty]

I hate both KoL and Arctic Monkeys. Both shit me.

 

[Saint KFC]

OutKast - Hey Ya

OutKast's older work is far, far superior.

 

[scooterb]

Ah yes, I forgot about 'Hey Ya!'.

'Clocks' by Coldplay will also live on.

Not if you listen to metal!

 

[HoldenMagroin]

Not if you listen to metal!

I've been very disillusioned with most genres of music this decade, but I must say metal is one I've completely overlooked... I should get back into the grind.

A few personal pearls among the multitude of pariahs this decade:

Coldplay - Viva La Vida (bigger credit goes to Brian Eno)
White Stripes - Seven Nation Army

Jeez, that's about it.

 

[Zarrix]

The music world has certainly been diversified this decade with an easily accessible library of music called the internet., therefore there is no universal sound. In previous decades, the mainstream had a much larger share. Good thing, because the mainstream this decade has been atrocious, except for some outer outposts of decency (Mostly from the UK).

It's a nice thought, but I doubt this would happen. Most people would recognise, even know part of the words to Rhianna's 'Umbrella' or Pinks 'So What'. These popular artists still sell out massive concerts. If we were all listening to our little niche genres, surely this wouldn't happen? Mainstream music has hardly been killed by the internet. Heck, when you see Short Stack, Lily Allen et al., you could make an argument that the internet only helps mainstream music find their next big things.

 

[superfraser]

I think we've forgotten the most loved and accepted rock song of this decade.

Mr. Brightside - The killers.

Cover bands love it.

DJs spin it sometimes.

It's a big party track.

It's a great song too..

..But damn i'm sick of it..

Another one that hasn't been mentioned:

Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand.
