ConcernedCitizenOfCoboconk Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Kenton Augerman, host of "Super Cool Wagon" on CKMS 100.3 (Univ Of Waterloo radio) recently sent out a note to his listenership asking us if we think any of the albums that have been released so far this millenium will be "lasting markers". Essentially, which albums will stand the proverbial test of time and still be great in 2011, 2021, 2031, 2041, etc. Ideas?I reponded with Dylan's LOVE AND THEFT. Although I think alot of great music has been released, that was the only one I could think of that would truely stand the test of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guigsy Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 wilco - yankee hotel foxtrotmodest mouse - the moon and antarcticaare the first 2 that popped in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 I'm pretty sure many hip-hop albums will make the cut. I'm thinking albums by OutKast and Kanye West will stand the test of time.Elephant by The White Stripes and Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips come to mind also.

Jaimoe Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 I'd like to think great blues artists and their albums will be remembered with importance and significance this millenium, like Buddy Guy's "Sweet Tea" and R.L. Burnside's "A Bothered Mind". Unfortuantely, the blues will be a dead musical genre sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConcernedCitizenOfCoboconk Posted February 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Kenton will be putting together some kind of playlist at some time. I'll post it when I get it. From the emails that I've seen so far Wilco's YHF was probably the most popular choice, Praire Wind was up there. Jamioe you are correct that there were ALOT of hip hop albums posted (K-OS, Outcast, Kanye West). Not my cup of tea but it seems many feel there are alot of landmark hip hop albums that are taking that genre in a new direction (hopefully away from the bling-bling generation).

guigsy Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 personally, i'd be more inclined to choose Greendale over Prairie Wind... not only do i think it's a better record, but i think it speaks to our current times very nicely.

SmoothedShredder Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 I'm going to say:Radiohead: Ok ComputerThe Flaming Lips: Yoshimi Battles the Pink RobotsMy Morning Jacket: ZI wish I could think of more... but these to me are my "Dark Side of the Moon's" of the last 5-10 years.

secondtube Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 i'm biased but i'd easily say Greendale and Prairie Winds will both stand the test of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Significant albums from the mid to late 1990's should be included in this millenium as a carry-over. Those significant albums have and will undoubtly impact this millenium greatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
