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

I just don’t think their rep took a hit larger than the one that would have naturally occurred due to retirement and tbh SY is musically a much more difficult sell to people anyway as far as a band to listen to, they’re not Pavement or NMH (and yet still they have more monthly Spotify listeners than either).

How does REM do on Spotify?

I recognize that I'm not a representative sample but SY have about a half dozen albums I love, I've listened to Neutral Milk Hotel exactly once, and I wouldn't make it through a whole Pavement song without a gun at my head.

"SY is musically a much more difficult sell to people anyway as far as a band to listen to"

yes, agree with this, even though they were my favorite band for ~20 years

xp

Xp perhaps someone who reviews experimental music and jazz for publications isn’t exactly the listener we’re discussing here

I remember 10+ years ago in Barcelona there was a contagious worship for Rockabilly fashion and Morrissey and french electro stuff like Justice. None of those aged well.

I stand corrected.

Sebastian, Justice, Uffie and the like have taken a nosedive in recent times.

ha ha, that was a general comment, not solely at your post

pretty sure the decline in Uffie's legacy happened in November 2006 tho

Uffie was in a relationship with Feadz and that’s the only reason why she got mildly relevant in the first place. The music on her first eps were very competent for the scene but as soon as she started performing them live (quite awfully) it was obvious she had no talent and got cancelled. Didn’t seem to affect Justice as quickly and they were also pretty mediocre performers... I think they even got caught on a festival with their gear not even connected iirc.

My fingers crossed for booming Legendary Pink Dots, Nits, Shelleyan Orphan, Associates and Rasputina threads at the end of next decade.

Don't hear as much Beefheart love as I used to.

And pray for Laura Nyro too!

I predict a considerable drop in autotune particularly in rap music. Autotune will be vaulted as a 10’s aesthetic.

Also trap beats are out. Trip hop/r&b beats are in.

I feel like Boredoms are not talked about as much now

With how perfect and sterile most pop/electronic/hip hop production has sounded this decade, I predict the next will try to make it sound “more imperfect”. So yeah, no autotune, use of live instruments instead of synthesized ones and J Dilla’s stock will rise like it did in the early 00’s.

Boredoms haven't released anything in a decade, so I guess out of sight out of mind.

oh wait here’s a really good one: amanda palmer/the dresden dolls

P4k gave FOUR good to glowing reviews of these dorks

8.2 for this steampunk horseshit

What the fuck is that shit?

Previous video is the second Dresden Dolls song I've heard. The first was 15 years ago. And I only just became aware of Billie Ellish last week.

hfs, I want to die

ah, the 2000s

crazy times, maaaaan

OK, now I know who Amanda Palmer is (of “amanda palmer’s open letter to robert smith and other crimes” fame).

Amanda MacKinnon Gaiman Palmer[3] (/ˈpɑːlmər/; born April 30, 1976), sometimes known as Amanda Fucking Palmer,[1][2]

Fiery Furnaces undeservedly disappeared

I mean, ok. we can talk about the grandma albums. but Blueberry Boat is all time

It seems to me that 20th c. classical music, including EA, is more popular now than it was 2000-2010.

It wasn't popular then and it isn't popular now, I'm still going to half/quarter empty concerts with the same 20 people in the audience, when there are any actual concerts which is once in a blue moon.

Furnaces were not very popular, and they stopped doing their thing, so... :(

Blueberry Boat is all time

cosign

Not a fan of Blueberry Boat. Big fan of Gallowsbird Bark and Eleanor’s recent solo records

I kinda liked Rehearsing My Choir tbh

Of course you did, it's frickin' awesome

Eleanor is still doing her thing, I think she gets some AAA AirPlay now, which the furnaces definitely never did lol

You’re forgetting “Clear Signal From Cairo (Bob Clearmountain mix) – feat. Macy Gray & Mark McGrath”

When I first started posting here like 5 years ago y’all were posting like crazy about Amanda Palmer

i don’t really get this thread.. what are the artists who’s reputation is the same

The Beatles

is Brice Hornsby down or up? His new album is horrible and it has bon iver on it.

i don’t really get this thread.. what are the artists who’s reputation is the same

uhhhhhh really

Uhhh, radiohead’s feels the same?

do people still like blonde?

blondie

what about los lobos? probably no one cared about them in the 00s either

whatever, have fun

With how perfect and sterile most pop/electronic/hip hop production has sounded this decade, I predict the next will try to make it sound “more imperfect”. So yeah, no autotune, use of live instruments instead of synthesized ones

Such optimism is contagious.

Amanda Palmer's one of those artists whose apparent newsworthiness and media profile have always seemed to massively dwarf any interest in her actual music.

Also I feel like the reputation of a lot of backackerish/conscious rap - Mos Def, The Roots etc - has been gradually recovering for a while after being very unfashionable a decade ago.

There's also been a sense for a while that younger dance music critics are absolutely desperate to move away from house and techno despite their enduring popularity and total ubiquity. The latest manifestation of that is the return of breakbeats to the sort of scenes where they would have been criminally unfashionable for most of the 00s.

(Ricardo Villalobos definitely down by the way but Autechre are definitely up)

i don’t really get this thread.. what are the artists who’s reputation is the same

Pink Floyd iirc

Obviously the thread is about notable examples

Pink Floyd=RULES (always)
