[QUOTE=Debauchery;26451908]I agree. The only group I've seen on here that might some day be a classic is Muse. Im not really a big fan, but they are quite popular right now and have a sort of catchiness about them that might end up making them long lasting.

And I don't really even like Muse.[/QUOTE]
How would Radiohead not earn classic status?
Out of all the Radiohead albums I would've thought OK Computer would be the classic.
[QUOTE=TheGuru;26461137]Meshuggah is great but will never become 'classic'[/QUOTE]
The fact that they were and still are totally unique, makes the band a 'classic' imo. They invented something totally new back then, and now there's a whole genre for that.

Kid A is already a "modern" classic :v:
Meshuggah are definitely gonna be a classic band remembered for what they did for math metal and their creation of the djent guitar style which has been used by loads of bands following in the style. No way they'll be forgotten as just another metal band or whatever.
[QUOTE=Sporkfire;26461170]How would Radiohead not earn classic status?[/QUOTE]
Like Dopey Trout said, they kind of already are a classic. They are pretty well renowned, and have been around for a while. Since the early 90's, which isn't much later than Nirvana, which is definitely a classic.
I disagree with Radiohead being a classic. Future classic yes, of course.
But I could play OK computer when there is a gathering of people and it would sound as current as ever...
Yeah I should have reiterated as future classic when I meant that, I'd agree. But I don't see how this "Meshuggah" can be considered a future classic, I don't see how any metal can be called a future classic, unless the genre itself becomes popular again.

Popular with you, you mean?
[QUOTE=Akayz;26487401]Popular with you, you mean?[/QUOTE]
In general, metal is not exactly a popular genre anymore.
[QUOTE=Sporkfire;26487524]In general, metal is not exactly a popular genre anymore.[/QUOTE]
But you are not exactly "interested" anymore, so how would you know? :smug:
of course
Also Iron Maiden's latest album has sold in millions.
I may seem like I'm being spiteful, its just that I like to 1-Up people a lot :v:
I do see where you can be coming from though.
I will be surprised if metal has classics as well. It's happened before (Metallica), but it's not really mainstream anymore. Unless you are talking about Nu-Metal. That's all that is popular right now.
Holy fuck the thought of nu metal being considered classic.
I no shit just felt rage thinking that :argh:
See if my kid comes up to me one day and goes "Hey dad, you liked metal since you were young yeah? Well I found this great classic metal band called 'Limp Bizkit' and I think its amazing" I'd probably disown him or something
But really I hope nu metal just passes off and the good metal is remembered.
I have a feeling that Nu-Metal will be a classic. Just like Hair Metal :(
The oldies channels will be funny.
oh god lol
Mikey I'm listening to Anaal Nathrakh on Spotify. I get confused every time I get ads though. First I had a christmas one and I was like "What this song starts with bells?" and then there was an ad for Duffy and I was like "THIS ISN'T HAPPENING".
Yeah apparently the ads are relevant to your tastes.
I disagreee
[QUOTE=mikeyt493;26488526]Yeah apparently the ads are relevant to your tastes.

I use Spotify to listen to other stuff too. Well pretty much whenever I want to listen to "We Are Your Friends" by Simian/Justice
No one Here can say these weren't classics

Guilty pleasures, maybe, but not classics.

Popular with whom? Classics are defined by the style they belong to. If an album influences many musicians and goes down in history amongst it's fans then it's a classic. I would say it's much more difficult for a classic pop album to be released now considering the amount of pop that is out there.
Metal is pretty much bigger than ever I would say. It maybe doesn't have as much media coverage as it did around the time of the Filthy Fifteen, but there are an ABSURD number of metal fans about nowadays.
As per my example, Meshuggah have gone on to influence a great number of bands with their sound. Maybe not a classic in the strictest sense, but I doubt that many laymen have heard of Moving Pictures by Rush if you picked them off the street, even though that's considered a prog classic, so I don't see why a genre's mainstream popularity has anything to do with it being a classic

Yeah I'll agree with your sentiment mostly, but in my interpretation a classic is often in the strictest sense and thats what I would have thought most people to have gone by.
I think classic as being AC-DC, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, big fucking names that almost anyone remembers and can enjoy listening to. Meshuggah is a classic to metalheads, sure, but for some reason, I feel like even a large amount of metalheads out there probably don't even know what the hell that is, as bands like AV7 and the like still dominate the reigns. Don't mistake me this is not to say I like them.
cracke thee skyee
Yet again, WAY out of my comfort zone for these, but nonetheless good albums. Strato is sorta up my alley, but not after Dreamspace (16 years ago), and I'm not a fan of the change that KoL went under either.

Metal is bigger than ever, but so is every genre. The music industry is growing exponentially. I also think you shouldn't discredit Pop as much as you are. I despise it, but I know most of it will be around a while. Just like the Backstreet Boys. We all know them, most of us hate them, and some of us know the words to their hits. Even if we wish we didn't.
