This thread just reminds me what a poor decade its been for music. Much like the 90s when the charts were full of 'Dance' music, the Spice Girls and novelty records, the noughties charts have been dominated by Simon Cowell products and American teen tripe.
I know if you delve deeper theres plenty of good stuff being produced, i just long for the times when the good artists got heard, became popular, and made the charts. |

I know if you delve deeper theres plenty of good stuff being produced, i just long for the times when the good artists got heard, became popular, and made the charts. I'm not sure that those days ever happened - loads of great bands from 80's and 90's and 00's never made it big, mainly because the record companies pumped all their advertising and marketing into mega money making acts like Michael Jackson, Elton John, Maria Carey etc rather than supporting and developing talented musicians/groups over a longer period of time. Thats why a fair number of the bands on this list are not household names - these bands succeeded in getting their music heard despite the music business, not because of it. Thank fk for the internet, myspace, online radio and live gigs. - the record labels no longer have any power as there is no money to be made in selling CD's. Giving away you music for free ( Radiohead, Prince etc) is the proof of that and is the way forward. |

BigH - i totally agree with your sentiments on how music is going, maybe in 5 years no-one will buy recorded music, and that'll be a good thing imo.
But what i said certainly happened in the 60s and 70s, great acts like Roxy Music, Bowie, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, even Elton John, all came from nothing, got themselves heard, some word of mouth, some ballsy Radio DJs, and their brilliant music dominated the album and singles charts. |

By:
fairweather - I agree with your list of those that made it (all in the list are exceptionally talented) but there are still loads that potentially could have been just as good that didn't make it.
