May 22, 200619 yr Did anyone ask you to put them up? Honestly...I don't see why you have to twist every topic around so you can mention El Presidente. Maybe you should request an El-P forum? what a http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/dd/ELP_Trilogy.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/14/TheBestOfEmersonLakeAndPalmer.jpg forum? :lol: :lol:
May 23, 200619 yr There's no need to be like that. You can't blame him for wanting people to know about his favourite band. But they aren't really appropriate in a most important band of the decade thread are they?

May 23, 200619 yr You want me to be honest? :rofl: BUSTED Think about it. Green Day have their biggest ever album and indie/rock goes mainstream. It's all the teenagers that started off by getting into Busted and as they grow up start looking for something a bit more adventerous. That's why I believe The Killers, Kaiser Chiefs all the new bands have done so well anyway. Lynch me if you must.
May 24, 200619 yr Bollocks is that true. When I was 13 I listened to MC Hammer. When I was 14 I moved on to Ned's Atomic Dustbin. By the time I was 21 I was into the Beta Band. People's music tastes naturally progress as they get older, but you can't trace a "rock progression". Green Day probably did get a foot up from Busted's ex-fans but that's more to do with Busted's own love of Green Day - they wore the t-shirts, Matt Willis practically based his look on Billie Joe Armstrong. It also wouldn't explain the reprise of Green Day in the USA, as they haven't benefitted from Busted and McFly infiltrating their charts (well, they had Good Charlotte I suppose)...but maybe you could put Green Day's success down to them making their most commercial album since Dookie plus the anti-Bush messages which will strike a chord with many. Busted cannot ever be considered influential. Their music is and was nothing new, and was mainly purloined from recent history - Blink 182, Sum 41. They only influence they had was on other public schoolboys to adopt a ridiculous American accent for no reason. Er...I think I made a point there somewhere.
May 24, 200619 yr You did.... But when Busted and Avril Lavigne came along they changed pop music in a way from $h!t acts that mime to not quite as $h!t acts that play guitars. By the time Busted split up so had a lot of other pop groups(Atomic Kitten, Blue...). Then the kids had nothing to go back to, Green Day then released American Idiot which was then loved by all the kids, they then progressed onto the likes of Kaiker Chiefs and other similar stuff like The Killers... Green Day and Busted were certainly important bands in changing what kids now listen to but I don't think overall they're the most important bands of the century so far...
May 24, 200619 yr Hmm...I don't see the link between Green Day, Kaiser Chiefs and the Killers. But they are all covered by the NME in equal amounts these days...and the NME has basically replaced Smash Hits - at least for now. It's true that "bands play their own instruments" now, but its really not that long since that was the norm. The pop consumers have very nearly laid to rest the hyper-manufactured style over content style that was introduced mainly by S/A/W in the 80s and carried on by Cowell, Fuller and Walsh. Of course that doesn't mean the manufacturing has stopped, just that A & R men for the pop depts are out and about looking for "attractive, rocky kids" to mould into what they think kids should want...or signing up anyone that "sounds a bit like Editors" to make them sound exactly like Editors for the "older market".

That's why I believe The Killers, Kaiser Chiefs all the new bands have done so well anyway. Lynch me if you must. Maybe here but what about the fact that American Idiot was one of the best selling albums worldwide of 2004 and 2005? Imo It would have been a big massive success anyway because it was a great album but of course your point is that the kiddies probably wouldn't have touched it without Busted which is a good point. :D On the subject of The Killers though I can see them become quite an important band eventually and possibly become the U2 of the 21st century (well as well as Coldplay of course :lol: ) they just need a consistant album...
May 24, 200619 yr I think the Killers have already missed the boat - if they don't get their second album out soon then everyone will have moved on. Besides, I think they're massively overrated.

May 24, 200619 yr Il tell you another band that is the most important. The darkness. they brung back classic rock like queen were ..... ... .. . (Your all gonna hate me now!!! But i dont care!!!)
May 24, 200619 yr Then they irritated the hell out of each other, including their own bass player and grew old quicker than a carton of milkshake on a radiator. Inspiring nobody in the process. Edited May 24, 200619 yr by richie
May 24, 200619 yr Author Il tell you another band that is the most important. The darkness. they brung back classic rock like queen were ..... ... .. . (Your all gonna hate me now!!! But i dont care!!!) And they're basically gone now having had no impact on changing the music scene :huh:
May 25, 200619 yr Il tell you another band that is the most important. The darkness. they brung back classic rock like queen were ..... ... .. . (Your all gonna hate me now!!! But i dont care!!!) Piss off! Rock was always around, it never bloody went anywhere.....Iron Maiden still sell a ton of records with no help from fake-ass poseurs like Justin fukkin' Hawkins..... <_<
May 25, 200619 yr Slipknot seem to have influenced loads of these Indie metal bands, I hear it a lot surfacing in tracks of a lot of bands, I fear for their vocal chords! and some have indeed ruined them Greenday's influence you can see in loads of the newer bands, as with Coldplay and Oasis - lots trying for that image or sound.
