>>55377652radiohead or the strokes or arcade fire
>>55377652kill yourself
>>55377664Radiohead have been pretty influential, yeah. The Strokes were a big deal to a lot of English bands that would start up and start playing garage rock kind of stuff around the mid 2000s. Arctic Monkeys come to mind. Arcade Fire. Well. The kind of shit they're known for was being done long before they debuted in '04. For instance, BSS and The Magnetic Fields.were doing that indie rock and pop with chamber instruments sort of thing years prior. But AF succeeded in bringing it to a much larger audience. So. Yeah, I feel you on that.
>>55377738Why should he? Kanye has been massively influential to tons of artists in hip hop.
>>55377762Pop using tonnes of instruments is as old as the hills, and has been popular as shit forever.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrVbawRPO7I
Honestly Gucci mane tbh Trap is one of the most relevant and prolific gendered currently and he seems like the godfather of it all
What about Trent Reznor? Industrial touches and whatnot have been all over popular music recently.
>>55377837That's baroque pop, man. Different period. Chamber pop is the revival after the advent of 'indie'. For a while there back in the 2000s, it seemed like every indie band were doing this sort of thing. And, it's most often attributed directly to Arcade Fire. Which is definitely a little shortsighted as I started to get into. But yeah man, I feel you. Shit's silly, revivals and shit.
>>55377817because he's shitposting
>>55377918arcade fire brought it to the mainstreamno one says nirvana invented alternative music, they just made it popular
The Foo Fighters.Not one day I haven't heard them on the radio at least twice.Not one day has a person ever told me they never heard Everlong.Not one day has any other artist had the balls to be as nice and appreciative at Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Pat Smear, etc.You can't deny it.
>>55377883Seconding Trent. For a variety of reasons though. Nine Inch Nails and the like represented the last gasps of shock rock. That kind of provocateur rock has long since perished. And industrial music predates NIN considerably. Even in electronic music. It's actually the man's business practices that I find most influential. That, and the elaborate release of Year Zero. The ARG and viral marketing campaign involved. It's been imitated at least a couple of times since.>>55377933Digits confirm. >>55377949Yeah, that's more or less exactly what I'm saying.
>>55377762>Radiohead have been pretty influentialMuse, the list could go on
>>55378023Okay, yeah. On this. I'm not referring to bands like Muse, Coldplay, Keane or Bloc Party. Radiohead were responsible for delivering electronic music via rock instrumentation to a mainstream audience and not a single band formed after '97 hasn't felt that influence.
>>55378002my bad, I read something wrongsorry anon!
>>55378023are you seriously denying their influence?
>>55378039For me, Radiohead are more or less the only platinum-selling sort of artist of recent years to not only entirely reshape their sound and hit a homerun while doing so, but reshape their sound into something entirely more obscure and inaccessible, whilst retaining their mainstream appeal & success. Pushing pop music to it's most ridiculous and abstract is an important thing, and with Kid A/Amnesiac, they re-set the bar for what that meant. I mean, Kid A went to #1 in the USA and sold over a million units with no singles & no music videos. That's pretty damn incredible.
>>55378169This one gets it.
>>55377652>Kanye West>influential
autechre
Todd Rundgren
>>55378235He did (not singlehandedly, put play an important role) in replacing the 90s and 00s gangsta rap game with the alternative rap
>>55377949>>55377762Arcade fire didnt bring baroque pop to the mainstream. Funeral and neon bible :there baroque albums, never got them big. It was the suburbs which was not baroque .
