This is a very good, thought-provoking ILM thread.
shifts in popular opinion you have noticed
shifts in popular opinion you have noticed
Fascinating how the marching of time and disintegration of contemporary context brings some artists to the fore while other once-unavoidable artists seem much less important or influential than you might've expected.noticed this with The Clash over time. to people my brother's age (the forgotten Foghat tail-end of Boomerdom) they were the only band that mattered and now to a lot of younger folks they are forgotten/dismissed in favor of sayyyyyyy...Wire? someone like that.
and today on the FB record freaks and geeks page i am on every day people were going OFF on Tom Waits. in a way that i don't think i would have heard in years past. he's a hokey maudlin goofball to some people now. of course i had to post a link to that made-up waits lyrics thread on here because it just might be my favorite ilm thread ever.
anyway, i think these shifts are healthy. i like the back and forth of generations/time.
obviously, it goes both ways. i never in a million years would have thought i would be selling hoyt axton and paul williams albums to 20 and 30-somethings in the 21st century.

We should have a thread where you name one band from each of the above categories.

Someone on that thread mentioned REM and I completely agree. I've seen them go from this massively respected act to being snarkily referred to as "the indie Eagles", especially among younger music writers (mid-20s to early-30s).

I admit I know very little of PJ Harvey's catalog (I've only really listened to Stories, which I love,I really should change that), but I really love these new 2 songs, I'm really excited for the new album (and should probably listen to the rest now as well).

Oh man! I'm so glad you're getting into this record. I'm a pretty novice PJ Harvey fan. I love so much of her work but there's still a lot I haven't tried out yet. But Let England Shake is phenomenal. What a goddamn powerhouse of a record.
I'm also a GIANT fan of To Bring You My Love.

Yeah, I've heard all of:
Dry
Rid of Me (only once all the way through, though
)
To Bring You My Love
Is This Desire?
Stories From the City...
and
Let England Shake
And all of them a killer records. She's really fantastic.
