Which bands of the nineties will stand the test of time? Which won't?

Question

Often the best selling albums aren't the ones people still talk about much later. For example: Boyz II Men.

I think these artists WILL stand the test of time
Radiohead
Beck
Pavement
Nirvana
U2
Tupac
Jeff Buckley

I think these artists moved a lot of copies, but WILL NOT stand the test.
Mariah Carey
Boyz II Men
Lenny Kravitz
Alanis Morrisette
Backstreet Boys



Who will last? Who won't, despite selling a lot of copies? Who's on the line?

Answer 1

Of the groups/acts who have emerged from that decade, very few will be listened to in 30 to 40 years time. Possible exceptions maybe:-

Nirvana
Radiohead
Eminem
Outkast
Manic Street Preachers
Oasis
Massive Attack
Jeff Buckley
Beck
Portishead
Belle & Sebastian

All of the above have released at least one 'classic album' that may still sell and be popular in the decades to come.

Amongst the acts from the 90's that will probably be forgotten are some who have become unfashionable within no time at all:-

Space
Cast
Catatonia
Ocean Colour Scene
The Stereophonics
Black Grape

Answer 2

On the contrary Lenny Kravitz is not a new kid on the block and has been around much longer than you think and quite frankly somone with his talent never fades however I agree that the backstreet boys for example were just a passing fad. As for tupac It is a pitty that someone is more recognised in death than life but isn't that the way it goes. As is the same for Kurt Kobain. and many other artists who have passed. I ask you this would they still be a conversation piece if they were still with us (god bless their souls)? Or would they be like most artists of the 80's "whatever happened to"

Answer 3

Bands that I think will are:
Pearl Jam
Tool
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Korn
Alice in Chains
Stone Temple Pilots
Smashing Pumpkins
I also agree with you on Radiohead and U2
Theres too many to list on who won't stand the test of time.

Answer 4

Dystopian thoughts(usually set in a destiny worldwide characterized by human misery) : a million) The starvation video games by Suzanne Collins (sequence) each and every 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, the government hosts the starvation video games, the place 24 youngsters combat in an section until eventually at last purely one keeps to be, as punishment for their ancestor's insurrection. the better area?

Lazy to jot down extra, yet once you have study the starvation video games and desperate which you adore dystopian thoughts, verify those out too:) 3) Delirium by Lauren Oliver (sequence) - a worldwide the place love is a ailment. 4) Unwind by Neal Shusterman - worldwide the place rebellious infants have all their organs taken aside and donated. 5) Divergent by Veronica Roth (sequence) - worldwide the place inhabitants are categorized into character communities, they could bypass existence-risking assessments to outlive. 6) The healing Wars by Janice Hardy -- Mythology/delusion-based. a million) Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan (sequence) - approximately demi-gods, the offspring of gods and human beings. 2) Mortal gadgets by Cassandra Clare (sequence) - worldwide the place Shadowhunters and Downworlders don't get alongside. 3) Alex Rider by Anthony Horowitz (sequence) - 14 3 hundred and sixty 5 days old Alex is recruited/compelled by M16 to be their new agent.

Answer 5

I think these band will:

Chili Peppers
AC/DC (still playing today been around forever)
Iron Maiden (still around)
Motley Crue (Still going strong, rock on sixx)
Guns N Roses (forever rule no front man like Axel Rose)
Green Day (Drint - you rock!)
Aerosmith
Nirvana (rip Kurt)
Metallica
Motorhead

Backstreet Boys
Take That
Wet Wet Wet (drip drip drip)

Mariah Carey ( I hate that woman Why does she mumble then scream instead of singing the damn song).
I think any pop bands/singers should all go crawl under a big hefty rock and leave the PROPER musicians to do their job.
