I honestly don't see a ton of talk about them now, that's why I doubt they'll be talked about much in 25 years.

Well, I could be wrong. It happened once before... I just wanted to see what it was like for normal people.

Pick a band and someone will be talking about them in 25 years.
On the future version of this board.
And there will be disagreement about whether they were ahead of their time, of their time, brilliant or boring.

That almost felt like a haiku.

Probably KOL, I used to loved them. Then they produced a middle of the road boring album that even my mum quite liked. Says a lot really.

I don't mind if they sold out on that album, if they make a brilliant 5th album. They need to return to their roots, if they use the fame of their last album to produce something brilliant on a bigger stage then fair enough. They said their next effort will be 'grungier'

I just can't see it being much different from their last one, unfortunately. But regardless of what they do, I reckon they'll be talked about in 25 years time.

You know, I've heard of them but I don't think I've ever actually heard a single one of their songs.

Should check out a song called 'Sex On Fire.' It's reet catchy.

Because at the moment they aren't doing anything, I think they're taking time off. Their last album sold shit loads. (Suitable measurement)

Before Only By The Night they were talked about a lot for being a cool bluesy southern rock band. And then Only By The Night hit and they were talked about by 14 year old girls, mainly discussing Sex On Fire.
