I think Opeth will be remembered amongst metal fans, but not by everyone in general. They definitely have music that can appeal to everyone, but I find a lot of people still have a hard time dealing with the occasional death metal growl.

I don't have much experience with Isis, myself so I can't really comment on that one.

Being remembered by metal fans is still quite a feat says I.

The Libertines, even though they were short lived, people still make a big deal of their 'breaking the barriers between band and crowd' or wot. Not to mention Doherty's played the media so well, they'll probably follow him about til he's 55.

I'd be okay with the White Stripes (as in I wouldn't agree but I wouldn't put up a fuss), but I would be quite content if the other two dropped off the face of the Earth now.

I had a thought recently about the music industry and how major labels are all but obsolete. They have been hanging on to the few marketable acts that they have (Lady Gaga, etc...sorry if you are a fan she is just the first one that popped into my head), but all the really great music that would normally be praised and remembered is only going to be heard by us (the die hard music lovers) and then forever lost in the internet void. I feel like it will stay this way until artists find a new way to get people to hear their music in the post-label world.

As of now, it seems music will simply be free to download as most bands already support this anyway. Home recording can produce professional quality work and posting a cool video on youtube can make a star. These are all thing to think about, but right now it seems we are in this weird transitional phase. I feel like it is an exciting time to love music.

MGMT arn't very groundbreaking but they seem to represent the era we live in very well. People look back on that and they like it.

I think MGMT might keep making records like Congratulations, and I think they'll keep making them for the a good few years and I think their work will be remembered for the Neo-Psychedelia sound they will keep churning out. I don't think they'll ever go back to Oracular, making them stand out tracks.
