Given he does sound alittle like some of the older styles like queen or kiss. He still carries a very unique style that is definitely different than most new artist i have heard recently. - Tim Tue, 12 Jan 2010 18:39:58 +0100 http://www.culturemagazine.ca/music/2000_2009_making_sense_of_musics_lost_decade.html#comment-377 My Chemical Romance's "Welcome to the Black Parade," mixes Pumpkins with Green Day? Erm, I think it does more of mixing Queen with My Chemical Romance, with a heavy emphasis on Queen. We are immersed in a musical culture of bands that are focused on "sounding kind of retro, but new at the same time." Jason Mraz, Maroon 5, Every Pop-Punk band out there... But will there be any new Elvises, Beatles, Jacksons, Sabbaths, etc? I doubt the 00s will see anything like that. You know what song will be the most-likely-remembered one from this decade? Daniel Powter's "Bad Day." One-hit Wonders always stay alive... - Kedre Thewi Wed, 06 Jan 2010 16:14:49 +0100 http://www.culturemagazine.ca/music/2000_2009_making_sense_of_musics_lost_decade.html#comment-376 How about Jason Mraz' "I'm Yours"? - Mojo Bone Wed, 06 Jan 2010 06:16:18 +0100 http://www.culturemagazine.ca/music/2000_2009_making_sense_of_musics_lost_decade.html#comment-375 Everybody has just copied every other bad band and it's become faded like a 19th generation photo copy. Picasso learned how to paint and became a great painter in the classical sense before he experimented with what we now remember him for. The Beatles learned great songs with complex chord changes before they wrote any. Everyone skips that stage and thinks they are fully formed as a muscian/group at 6 months. There are enough idiots wanting to define them selves as being on the cutting edge who reward it. Then they have to walk away to the next thing to continue being cutting edge it is as menaingless as fashion. - Wayne Tue, 05 Jan 2010 18:40:09 +0100 http://www.culturemagazine.ca/music/2000_2009_making_sense_of_musics_lost_decade.html#comment-312 Great article. Reminds me of an article I read in the wekeend paper recently asking what exactly were the definitive musical acts of the 2000's. Here are my responses: 1. What musical innovations from 2000-2009 raised the bar and will influence future generations? The rebirth of folk music movement was the biggest innovation. Back-to-basics, no bells and whistles, just updating older tunes with a little modern sound made acts like Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys, Korpiklaani, Finntroll and Seryoga viable attractions on the concert circuit. While not considered Top 40 material, this style has proven to have more staying power than the string of one-hit wonders we are bombarded with on the radio. 2. What emergent acts will sellout arenas in future decades? This is hard to say. The 'hottest' groups tend to burn out quickly, as the music business keeps throwing the same kinds of acts our way, basically Madonna, Menudo and Spice Girls clones every few years. It will be safe to say that every few months some other prepackaged copycat group will get overplayed on the radio, sell out a few shows, then get overshadowed by the next "big thing". A good question would be, what acts will CONTINUE to sell out arenas, i.e. AC/DC, U2, Metallica, Elton John etc. 3. What hits have a legitimate shot at becoming popular music standards? You know, something that someone will be singing karaoke to 20 years from now? Everything from the White Stripes. - Kendall R.

Like "Hey Ya!", it one of the few genuine mass hits of the last decade, and by combining 90's alternative (Smashing Pumpkins) with 90's pop punk (Green Day) to create a new sound, My Chemical Romance pushed pop rock forward into the 2000s. - kevinjohns Mon, 28 Sep 2009 03:21:47 +0100
