No I dont mean for me, but while in twenty years people will be still talking about Franz Ferdinand and The Futureheads, whos gonna mention HHH? And yes that is a criminal injustice since The Heat were well ahead of the game on the whole danceable rock revival, but thats history for you. I mean who really talks about Gang of Four, but for Franz, or Television, except for the Strokes...Great bands, but as the best tend to be: not at all accepted mainstream.

I still love Hot Hot Heat though, and will be talking about them to the kids of my day when Im naught but a gibbering pile of fibre jelly on his deathbed... NURSE: He keeps asking for bandages all the time...hes not even bleeding! Etc..etc..

i dont think the futureheads or franz ferdinand are going to be remembered in 20 years. bands that are genuinely different or innovative such as the white stripes and radiohead are going to remain in the publics psyche for years to come- and bands such as coldplay and the strokes will due to their mass appeal and corporate success. and i think the rapture beat hot hot heat at their own game. i cant see them being remembered at all.

The Indie Bar Kid · 07-05-2005, 07:53 AM

The White Stripes are one of the prvieleged few in my top 5 favourite bands, but why are they constantly being deemed "innovative"...Much of their music copycats early blues rock, like Leadbelly, and Jack White would tell you that himself. Fair enough they put a 21st century edge on things and the minimalisms a bit different but theyre not exactly pulling everything out of thin air. The new albums pretty avant-garde though. Yeah the Rapture are great, but well have to wait for a follow-up to see if they take it anywhere...In the meantime, LCD Soundsystems the only punkfunk for me...

Hmm...What was the topic again?

Imonlydancing · 07-05-2005, 07:54 AM

of course Radiohead will, they're genius. Different generations like them. i dont think franz or the futureheads will be rememberd...Hot hot heat, i don't think will be rememberd...maybe to us...but not like to the next few generations.
oh, and the indie bar kid, nice sig. bright eyes ^_^

To make sweeping comments on things I've read above:

1. HHH is infinitly better than FF, and definitly better than the Rapture. I don't even know why we are talking about those bands now.

2. As far as the White Stripes originality, there aren't many genuinely new styles left to create. When everyone is jumping to make something diffrent things get exhausted really quick. I don't think the fact that the stripes play the blues is why they got the title of innovative, but rather their entire packages, as a whole landed them that title.

3. Honestly, I've never heard a television or go4 song, and I've heard Velvet Underground and hate it all. Their overblown to all hell in my opinion.
