Which artists legacies have improved/worsened during the 2010s?

So according to facebook djent's stock has risen

Best solo career out of the wu & a legend but not esp relevant the last 15 years would be my assumption ... at any rate cappa’s debut is mega underrated

You absolute fucking dork

"Two of his most critically adored albums are not especially relevant because white hipsters liked them"

Regardless of their P4k ratings, the Fishscale/More Fish/Big Doe Rehab era had like a huge radio single with Ne-Yo, an early Mark Ronson/Amy Winehouse collab, and was one of the highest profile outlets for the Dilla reappreciation

lol @ having this fight *again*

I like the song w ne yo but the albums are pretty mediocre after pretty Tony imo & it’s obvious they’re his most “critically adored” bc ppl were jumping on the bandwagon late. Lol @ you acting like “critically adored” and “white hipsters liked them” not being the same phenomenon

Also blatantly untrue ... supreme clientele is obv his most praised album ...

That's why I said "one of"

or "Two of"

I mean, the bandwagon theory would make sense if Bulletproof Wallets and Iron Flag didn't happen and also if the Fish/Fish/Doe run sounded anything like Ironman/Clientele

worsened: beach boys

As far as underrated ghost albums the two hidden darts tapes are better than fishscale era stuff too me

The fish era sounds like pandering to online rap nerds that’s why the cohesion of pretty Tony singing along to oldies radio steez was replaced soul records, dilla records and Pete rock beats it’s way more scattershot & broke him w the mass of Av club rap nerds but it’s def not the first thing I’m gonna pull out to listen to

The ne yo song does sound like it should have been the single for “pretty tony” which is why I like it but the whip me w. A strap stuff I just never want to listen to

i've always felt deej underrated fishscale contrarianistically to some degree, but it's also extremely funny how mad it makes whiney

at this point I expect them to be having this fight over cold bowls of mush at the old folks' home 20 years from now

if deej had just said the last 12 years he'd be in the clear

You absolute fucking dork

lol this fucking guy

I mean cmon lolol

cuet

i know emo was mentioned upthread but it is legitimately surprising to me that a decent amount of young people listen to the 20 year old american football album i liked when i was 16

Listened to it this morning and the emo revival has mostly passed me by. Sometimes you just wanna bathe in chiming guitars, y’know?

Elephant 6 stocks continue to plummet. Even ITAOTS is seeming more like a punchline than a universally beloved classic.

I still think In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is an absolute classic for all time

also will love forever Olivia Tremor Control's 'Dusk at Cubist Castle' and 'Black Foliage'

idk NMH had a very well received reunion tour five years ago

NMH evergreen

I already said this but SONIC YOUTH!

has gone way down

was it that recent? I saw them probably 10 years ago now

the full band reunion was 2013/14, with the Mangum solo shows before that from 2011-13

obviously they're nowhere near as a big of an influence on modern indie these days and the reunion probably helped to dissipate the sort of mystique that had built up around them but i don't think their legacy has really gone down much idk and if so only because ITAOTS was held up to a sort of ridiculous degree

ITAOTS is a crucial & still common beginners' guitar album

Liz Phair’s profile has risen from where it was in the 2000s, thanks to young artists like Snail Mail & Soccer Mommy, the Guyville anniversary / reissue, etc.

xp

fuck that, it is so much more

also, don't know about 'legacy', but Exile in Guyville is one of the great albums of all time

Liz Phair was in a BAD WAY as far as her legacy in the '00s.

Pitchfork:

0.0 (2003)
2.0 (2005)
2.6 (2010, for good measure)

yeah seeing liz phair bounce back has been pretty heartening. i don't even think the 2003 album that everyone hated was that bad, but it definitely had a huge effect on her legacy.

Staind I kinda like the singles, compared w/ like Korn they are def not album artists though ... "Outside" and "Its Been Awhile" are strong IMO, I'd be curious if anyone has any Staind deep cut they think is on that level but I tried to dig in & couldn't make it too far

not a deep cut but always had a soft spot for Epiphany.

Up: Rob Hubbard, Martin Galway and Ben Daglish.

More of an early 10s thing than now maybe, but C-64 chip music was an ovbious influence on the likes of Aviici and Skrillex.

From before that really, from Crystal Castles etc in 2006-07 as well. (Now there's a band whose reputation collapsed this decade).

In general videogame soundtracks are a part of pop DNA these days and the reputation of videogame music is up this decade. Just this week Pitchfork published a Classic Album thing about the Ocarina of Time soundtrack, by a proper electronic music writer.

The big C64 revival was around 2001-2004-ish.

Don't think anyone has said Crystal Castles yet, that is quite a plummet

Obviously there was also stuff like 50 Cent's "Ayo Technology" in the 00s (And even earlier stuff from Orbital) but I feel the C-64 influence was even stronger on some early EDM.

Ten years ago I was pretty reluctant to admit liking Slowdive, now the cool kids love em

The single songwriter writing everything all alone is definitely down although this might have happened in the 00s already

It's Complicated: Weezer

Feel like every move from this band gets them more cultural spotlight and more ridicule, like a continuous New Jersey

^I thought on first reading that you meant the state (but I guess not)

Ed Banger and the whole pre-EDM saturated electro house sound is way down on where it was a decade ago imo
