Well it's about 2 years left of this era of music, (that's if it will end by 2010),

 

Who or What do you think have been the good and bad comeouts of the 00's? Voice, Music, Single, Album, etc. wise?

 

We have had alot of Reality stars - Too Much for my liking tbh! Should just keep Girls Aloud and Leona IMO!

 

But i love the contrasts this decade has been though, one year dominated by pop, the next dominated by indie/rock, the next dominated by hip-hop/rnb etc...

 

I also loved towards the end of the decade where there is a bit of a garage revival at the moment... (H'two'O, T2 & Delinquent being the main suspects lol)

 

We have had loads of BIG SELLERS EVER! Probably had more comebacks in this decade than any other decade!

 

Ohhh how i could go on! lol I'll probably continue once other people start posting more things! lol

I have to agree with that.

curiosly we started the decade with garage and we might end it with garage :P Shame we won't end with trance, dance and pop too like in 2000.

I don't think any1 could forget one of the few bands that will make it from 2000 through to 2010 still releasing songs.

 

by that, i of course mean the Sugababes :wub:

 

Between the 5 of them (Inc. GH and TIMW Re-release) they have provided us with 10 albums, nearly 30 singles and 8 years of great music (well, Follow Me Home's Re-Recording aside). The late 90's may have been the girl band era but with the babes and GA it goes 2 show they still can't be beaten, regardless of which genre is popular with the chavs of the UK

I think the naughties have been relatively undistinguishable, certainly when compares to previous decades. I guess the curse of horrible urban music has been a firm staple throughout this decade. Dance music and the 'Ibiza' sound that dominated the the 90s had died down (sadly), making a little space for Hed Kandi and stylish funky house.

 

Indie rock and the Artic Monkeys conveyor belt has been a big part of the pop music landscape and I would expect retro style female singers to be big news for the remainder of this decade.

 

Ballsy pop music like Girls Aloud and Sugababes and the electro revival will certainly be referred to when we look back aswell.

 

And, unfortunately, James Blunt and Dido.

Shame we won't end the decade with...pop like in 2000.

Hmm..

 

I'd say there's been loads of pop classics produced this decade. We're hardly lacking in pop! :heehee:

 

I think this decade will be remembered for the evolution of R&B into something more hard-edged and experimental than the traditional ballads of the 90s. Artists have had to really evolve to stay relevant; Mariah has proved capable, some like Toni Braxton or Monica arguably haven't.

 

I think it'll also be remembered for the more frequent integration of rap into regular R&B and even straight pop songs, which has sometimes worked really well. I can't imagine a song like Love Like This by La Bedingfield ever having desired a rap 10 years back, but it works.

 

I don't think any one genre has been overly prominent and so I don't think the decade as a whole will be remembered for anything too strongly, whereas the 90s had lots of dance, the 80s lots of glam etc. But I do think our music will be noted as remaining a lot more current-sounding in years to come, as opposed to songs from 10 or more years ago dating very quickly. I'd say the 00s have seen much slicker production thanks to new technologies etc and so producers have become more famed and celebrated.

 

^_^

Tbh in all fairness looking back the biggest impacts have to be Sugababes, Timbaland, Kylie Minogue, Girls Aloud etc, even Cascada to an extent.

The noughties has been the most faceless decade yet - every single sub-scene has been suffocated within months by stacks of copycat acts and those who created the sub-scenes don't seem to have the talent to go on and start the next, they just fizzle out while those who copied them come in with a safer, more commercial sound that isn't all that different to what's already out there. Despite the apparent different genres out there, what gets into the pop charts is virtually one of four or five homogenized styles. There are few surprises any more due to the nature of promotion.

 

Kudos to Sugababes for surviving the decade thus far though - in their business it's very hard to stay alive.

Like Timbaland, Pharrell etc... lol

 

 

Oh and it was also known for Remixes doing better than originals! i.e - Beyonce and Shakira & Kelly Rowland being most notable!

Simon - did you think about that? Tbh in all fairness you didn't look back very far - we're talking 8 years here - what about Eminem, Dido, Coldplay and Britney Spears for a start?

I didn't mean it as if to say they are the only ones to have big impacts.

That'd be a reason for them to be less-celebrated surely if a "machine" can do all the work. More like it's the ego of hip hop producers that prevents them from being happy with a sleeve credit...and I don't think the producer as star is all that new a thing anyway...what about Grandmaster Flash and Clivilles & Cole and countless others?

Heh, you said they had the biggest impacts. Just didn't make any sense to me.

I'm afraid I have to agree.

 

Any decade that has seen the death of Top Of The Pops; and the nightmarish emergence of Reality Pop TV talent shows acts (with the honourable exceptions of Will Young, Girls Aloud & to a lesser extent Darius) with muppets going out and buying what Simon Cowell tells them to buy destroying the battle for Xmas #1.

 

Also record company's are too much like businesses, so that 80-90% of acts release a successful first album before fading / falling away, as acts are not allowed to develop anymore like a Blur, a Radiohead or even a Take That did in the previous decade. All of those acts in today's climate would probably have been dropped after one album).

 

Also Radio stations in America are now awful so that it is a rarity for a non Urban/Rap track to top the Billboard charts; whilst Radio 1 have been similarly uninspired adopting the cancer of the decade with the slavish love of "personalities" and "celebrities" as DJ's ahead of people who are music fans and care about the music they are playing with it's nadir being the shameful treatment of the flagship Sunday Chart show.

 

As with all decades there is great new music around but you have to look more and more outside of the Top40 or Top75 for it:

 

For example something as new and innovative as this track below, in the late 1970s & early 1980s (pre Live Aid / Stock Aitken Waterman domination) would have been heralded for the great new music that it is by the likes of Radio 1 in the past:

 

Late of The Pier - Bears Are Coming

Will Young of course. http://www.profitseekersnetwork.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/girl_pinkglassesf.gif

Sugababes

Girls Aloud

Eminem

Timbaland

Coldplay

Dido

Beyonce

Robbie Williams

Take That

for me defenitly the sugababes!

 

but so many other artist have ment something for me like: beyonce/destiny's child, rihanna, girls aloud, robyn, britney spears, amy winehouse, leona lewis, the corrs (back in the days lol) lol this list is so full of new artist (well the most of them I discoverd late) and their all pop & female (best combination for me)

Oh and we have had acts that released some stuff before they they became as big as they are now... The Darkness, Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, Timbaland etc...

Goldfrapp

Girls Aloud

Kosheen
