He meant that the Red Hot Chili Pepper's aren't making any "new funk"

You know what I meant! As for classic Pop Prefab Sprout are a class act.

Actually, "Stars" wasn't that bad of a song... well, at least not when I heard it back in 2005.

Rolling Stone seems to be toting The Jonas Brothers as "the NUUU BEATLEZZZ".
If I were to compare them to anyone, it would be the Bee Jees, because of the relation between members, the harmonizing, the (at least starting out for the JBs) fanbase of pubescent girls, the mock factor, and the shared initials with blow job.
When you talk about a song that gets massive airway, is sung on the playgroud by kindergarteners, has massive popularity amoungst youth, is somewhat vulgar, and has a not-so-outright meaning, I immediately think of "OPP". But I guess The Beatles did that too, eh?

No. Take the iconic performance on the Ed Sullivan show. Would a Jonas Brothers performance cause that much of a buzz with absolutely EVERYONE?

When it comes to consistency and some level of Pop stardom, I'm going to have to mention Blur as being a band who were very close to earning that in The 90's. 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.

This one by Tears For Fears always reminded me of the style of the Beatles, (music & lyrics). Especially the change up later on in the song. To me, it would seem alot easier to find a song (only), where you may hear a big influence by the Beatles. But, its all in fun trying to see who others pick to inherit the Beatles throne.

nobody will take the Beatles throne, there can only be one band that has that kind of impact and it's a combination of their talent and the fact they did it first. Wondering who will take their place is like wondering which fast food chain will top McDonald's in marketing/sales. Nobody, ever.
