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

All my white friends love Wonderwall

brady bunch is a fascinating comparison since we are now about as far out from Friends's mid-90s heyday than the Brady Bunch films were from the early 70s, and yet it's sort of hard to picture a comical film using the show to send up those silly ways we were back then, etc. etc. not saying that's a bad thing since such a film would likely be unbearable but i do SORT OF buy the idea that Friends would feel enough like the present day to work as low-stakes streaming TV. surely there must be some political or social-mores disconnects...idk... as far as this thread goes tho, i imagine The Rembrandts' legacy is about as secure as ever

xxp The Office

the other day I saw three different people in nyc wearing Friends shirts, it was odd

when I work out Friends is always on, albeit with the volume off. to me the show is just an endless series of long conversations that end in 2 characters making out

there's an Interpol song in there somewhere

the people I know that love Friends are more well-adjusted and happier than me

Cheers was pretty much the Friends of the 80s.

except Cheers wasn't terrible

there's an Interpol song in there somewhere

:D

saw this advertised the other day: https://www.high-noon.com/event/9325025/indie-jam-500/ -- perhaps of some relevance to the "jam" part of the thread?

The Indie Jam 500 is a supergroup comprised of local Madison musicians involved in the Jamband scene who have a deep love for indie rock and psych rock music. Featuring members of WURK, Dub Foundation, Magic Conch, Better Yeti, The North Code, Sweet Delta Dawn, Nuggernaut, Fringe Character and more, this group has been tasked with the mission of creating a setlist full of everyone's favorite indie rock songs and giving them the royal jam treatment by extending and improvising over them! This will surely be a unique concert experience for fans of jambands, indie rock, psych rock, and all music lovers alike.

Setlist curated from the following bands:
Radiohead
Violent Femmes
Arctic Monkeys
Arcade Fire
PHOX
Bon Iver
..and many more!

just want to chime in and say dang this new Santana album is surprisingly good!

Oh my god Indie Jam 500 sounds like hell on earth

I think Friends kind of functions as an escapist fantasy for millennials: poor twenty-somethings make their way in NYC and everything ultimately works out.

Dying at "Nuggernaut"

And literally dying if I have to listen to them extending and improvising over a Bon Iver song.

I've seen that band at my go-to bar, it's a bad scene. You see, if you want the hippie bar/restaurant that serves good food until 1am every night of the week and has a constantly changing beer list, you need to withstand the occasional brutal jam band. It's the devil's bargain.

hah, I've had favorite places to go that occasionally host bands and have bitten by the live music schedule

"I just wanted some food, I forgot that Thursdays is FUCKING JAM BAND NIGHT!"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHOX

See also, bands who appear to have written their own Wikipedia entry.

xp omg I hadn't heard that yet, but there have been stories off and on for weeks in local media speculating why he was let go when he was appointed by the current governor

Violent Femmes

Do you think they do "1,1,1 cause you left me" but just go up to like 35

xpost I guess we don't need to do a What's on Your iPod thread

Who the phuck are PHOX?

They were hometown 'next big thing' heroes for awhile before they imploded. Honestly a good band that didn't survive the weight of expectations + money + too much touring etc.

The singer is working her solo thing now, really hope it comes together for her.

yeah the people I know that like it like it because of the blithe optimism and naivete. it's basically Adulting: The Show

re Willie -- the Outlaw stuff is obviously enduring, but he did put out some really strong records of original material in the 90s that seemed to have rehabbed his punchline status coming out of the 80s. Spirit would very easily make my top 5 studio records of his, Teatro (ft several re-recordings of pre-Outlaw tunes) is prob top 10. That seemed to goose his image for a while, not mention the near constant touring a la Bob. I haven't really heard or much he's done century besides that T Keith Horses & Beer song; even so he seems firmly ensconced in the pantheon of Country/ Americana. And he still smokes (vapes?) hella weed so he's probably just as known for that with a younger/ not particularly music-obsessed crowd.

Chief Keef

Are you saying that Chief Keef is an artist whose legacy has improved/worsened

Improved, obviously

Yeah I didn’t hear much about him in the 00s

Hahaha.

The question in the thread title is whose legacy has improved in the 2010s. There’s nothing about the 00s involved

I can't

you will

lil wayne nosedived but is rising again, he'll ultimately be seen as one of the GOAT

Metaphorically Birdman handrubbing about the turn this thread is about to take

also willie had a great song at the end of red dead redemption, which is like the second biggest consumer product of all time or something.

Chris feigning superiority bc you are out of touch w the genre you cover isn’t the best look

I think lil Wayne just had the typical downward career arc this decade but no one serious would argue his legacy is anything but secure I would think

Gucci mane’s rep obviously solidified too, which no one here makes fun of me for bc now they all agree with it

It helps that he's had a such a positive & meme-friendly comeback, right?

No, I'm feigning superiority bc you are on a completely different trip than everyone else in this thread based solely on your creative way of interpreting words

Yeah though the music has been very forgettable by and large, I think in the long run it’ll affect his legacy poorly ... tho maybe not Elvis in Vegas level

No, I'm feigning superiority bc you are on a completely different trip than everyone else in this thread based solely on your creative way of interpreting words

You’re feigning to understand the discourse but I don’t know think you’re actually cognizant of it:

Chief Keef - They Know | Dir. @DGainzBeats https://t.co/GLS9AZjSu8 via @YouTube this my favorite Sosa song🔥🔥🔥🔥👌🏾 he paved the way for the new rappers!

I'm the first on this board to say you were right about Keef being influential, I'm just saying you're the only person in this thread to earnestly post about someone whose recording career began, like, seven years ago

or eight years, I guess

Wow, you know who else's stock has risen? Mitski and Snail Mail

Gotta say Tierra Whack? Definitely up!

You’re naming artists from the last two years, i named someone who’s career began at the beginning of the decade in question.
