Thread: Music to be remembered

Actually another thing I just thought of, was the way Elvis changed music, changed how the world viewed teenagers. I watched recently a doco on Elvis and listen to some of the parents back then complaining about his dance moves in particular the 'thrusting' movement LOL

Yes, everything that brings something new with itself, changes things- music and people- can not be remembered, it's like winning a war when you've been able to change the opinion of the world, because it's sometimes really hard. Elvis changed music a lot, he brought such changes it can't be forgoten...

even though i am THE biggest rap fan ever (620 mixtapes and going = 87 GB of music ALL LISTENED TOO) and i got to admit that most rap stars today have ONE AMAZING HIT, then fall off, *AHEM* mims *AHEM* and if their lucky, get an album out. but classic rap is still remembered. Kool G Rap, the basis of rap and hip-hop, Run DMC & Public Enemy, amazing political rappers and have deep topics, and Jedi Mind Tricks with lyrical skills to awake the dead. so these rappers will be remember, but rap these days is like the weather - always changing.

i don't hear rap i'll hear Linkin Park
Thats muisic like me but it's don't mean that i hear metalic

I can agree with you on the whole rap subject. Not to many rappers are really comin' up with anything that's great on a lyrical scale. Most of them talk about money, cars and (excuse my language) "bitches". But that's rap. Hip-hop is a totally different subject. I believe that there's a huge difference between rap and hip-hop. Rap is all gangstalicious-like, so most people who do rap speak mainly about gang violence, drugs, womanizing and things that have monetary value. Hip-hop speaks from the heart. Hip-hop speaks about the struggle that the artist had to go through to get to where he/she is at now. Hip-hop's lyrics make sense and have relevance to our everyday lives.

Enough of my rambling...
I think for the rap/hip-hop side; those that will be remembered are: Busta Rhymes, The Fugees, Eminem, Atmosphere, A Tribe Called Quest, Queen Latifah, Arrested Development, De La Soul, Kanye West, Tupac, Notorious B.I.G. and LL Cool J.

Rock/Metal: Nirvana, Bush, Korn, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Tool, Offspring, NOFX, The Pillows, The Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jimi Hendrix, Radiohead, OKGO, Blur, Stone Temple Pilots, Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave and Soundgarden.

Other: Bob Marley, Bjork, Bad Boy Bill, Carl Cox, Miles Davis, Charlie "the bird" Parker, Count Baise, Dizzy Gillespie and Loui Armstrong.

I think that's about it. I could go on for hours about music! ^_^

well tupac was remembered for rap. he shot the 'thug-life' image into our lives. and personally, no hate to B.I.G or Pac, but they would be alot less popular if they were alive today. its all bout the gangs and violence. Cam'ron says that he doesnt talk to police for fear of loosing album sales. and on you list, ur missing ALOT, but if me n u n every hip-hop knowledged person made the list, it would be LONG. lol well ya, today if ur a gangster, it sells. if your a crazy lyricist, you MIGHT get recognized. its a shame how trend can ruin many good careers.
