I found Smith last night actually at the urging of a friend. I really dig his song "A Fond Farewell" i know i know, like the single real original right? well, its not my typical style and i dont pretend to be a big fan of his, just a really good song. Real sad that he passed though.

The Beatles always were, and always will be the epitome of epicness, however to inherit this throne, I would say that Panic! At The Disco would be the right choice. I know this has already been mentioned, but it really needs emphasising that they rock :D

In a way, not exactly of course, they are among the closest to being like a Beatles for this age. If not in worldwide fame, but in having a strong body of work, some time in the Teen Idol world (Leisure, Parklife, Great Escape eras), having been able to mature while keeping a faithful fan base, having influential musicians (Damon and Graham), and creating a long line of fine singles with a number of musical styles while still retaining their unique character. Their videos sometimes can be visually interesting (The classic Universal, Chemical World) or very charming (Sunday Sunday, Coffee and TV) in a way that The Beatles' promo clips and music segments in their films were through their time as well.
Maybe not Blur by themselves but if i'm allowed an individual i'd be tempted to go Damon Albarn, add to his work with Blur you also have Gorillaz who are a great source of brilliant and popular pop songs. I'd agree that you don't really have anyone to compare to the impact of the Beatles on a universal scale, probably never will apart from on a cult scale.

No band will really ever get to the Beatles throne by being talented, just harvested.

It'll probably be something from disney.

The beetles are one of the most polar groups around you either love them or hate them. But either way you can't deny the impact they had on the music scene in their time. They became so popular that Paul and John could have wiped there ass with their instruments and sold more records than some really good band now. Ex. I am the Walrus. Just a bunch of random crap, but even now as I type the song is getting stuck in my head. So inherit the throne, I think not! Whatever vain they hit in the musical era has long dried up and any bands that want to rival that impact had better come harder than re-fried Hanson ie Jonas Brothers.

Yeah, its like you're either hot or your cold with them. Sometimes I talk to people and they're like "****s hot bro" and sometimes they're like "nah I'm cool man."

My favorite songs are "Cold Turkey" and "Set fire to the Lot."

Today I think Wilco is the closest in my mind, at least musically. But as someone wrote, noone can have the same effect on the world, at least not with Lady Gaga as the most selling artist in the world atm.

The Rolling Stones
 
The Rolling Stones should inherit the throne. :bowdown:

Dude, Wilco is good and Beatles-esque.

I never thought of Gaga that way but I guess they've both achieved global pop domination. They've both created quite a stir, to say the least.

The credit goes to the n00b for coming up with it.
She's soooo famous, just like they were. A better comparison would probably be Gaga=mustacheless Salvador Dali but we're talking about pop music here. And pop music seems to be buzzing Gagagagagagagagagagaga. Its just like Beatlemania.

Sublime, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dave Matthews

the way we discover and share music is soooo different...we have far too many musical acts! welcome to the age of A.D.D.

I actually compared their second album to the Beatles. I think they would have had a decent shot.

I agree, I think Lady Gaga should be declaired the winner and get it over with.. :bonkhead:
Still..I have to admit the thread has been fun though. :)

Ouch. Similarly received, my friend. They were similarly received.

Marilyn Manson is my favorite modern pop star, despite his obvious and excessive Alice Cooper/KISS/Bowie/Eno/Rozz Williams backbiting ('course there's a bit of overlapping there but still). The things he has to say are a lot more interesting than most of the content in more commonplace pop songs and while he's certainly not the most accesible pop artist he's definitely very popular commercially.

Nickbelback have been putting out great album after great album for around ten years now.
