he will probably be as important to the kids today as the likes of sasha have been to many of my generation.

I like a lot of his stuff too but he wont be a legacy artist.

Good Christ on a Bike.

99% of the youth today have no fucking idea who Sasha or Deadmau5 are.

Ask the average 15 year old anywhere in the world who Sasha is and you'll get that glassy eyed 1000 mile stare.

Ask same 15 year old who the Jonas Brothers are and they will wet themselves.

This is what I love about the Abe general board. Sometimes someone asks a question which spawns a multi-page debate. I thought I had a glib answer to the original premise, but on reading down through the posts---it REZEALLY made me think.

So keep it up Liveheads. Seems like there is something about Live which attracts the most creative, thoughtful, diverse people...

(and best looking, too, of course.)

What's not to like about Lady Gaga?

1. She's hot.
2. She might just be a man.
3. She's got a pooper from hell.
4. She writes her own stuff.
5. She's freaky and wacky as a motherfucker.
6. She plays piano like a motherfucker.
7. She plays acoustic versions of her songs all the time that are shit fucking hot.
8. She never plays the same song the same way twice. Always mixes it up. Sometimes with a full band. Sometimes with just a laptop.
9. She might just be a man.
10. Comes up with all her own mondo bizarro stage costumes, sets, video crap.
11. She might just be a man.
12. Went to Tisch, which is a pretty decent school.
13. She might just be a man.

Her music is godawful, but I'm still a fan. Big time.

So basically you're saying that Lady Gaga is this decade's Kate Bush?

More like Lady Gaga is this decade's Grace Jones.

Yes, things have changed. Things alway change.

But, people always have their idols, icons and golden calves to worship.

This is constant and continuous since history was recorded.

Music will evolve, Film will evolve, but there will always be "Stars"...we need them.

Can you really argue with this?

no I agree with you there but that's sort of a different issue isn't it, I mean it's the caliber and quality that is steadily going down the drain. there are people who are incredible that we've never heard of and there has always been those people but it's the ones up front who don't represent that iconic level of craftmensship anymore, no more stevie wonders after stevie, it seems like the culture has shifted into something that no longer values producing such artist

Nathann - how did Kraftwerk suck in the 70s and 80s. They inspired practically everyone who ever made synth music. They made their own electronic drums (none existed before this, or at least not commercially), their own hand built vocoder (only super expensive Roland vocoders as used in tracks like 'I'm Not In Love' by 10cc in big studios existed) and 'Autobahn' is frequently quoted by both early generation synth acts like Gary Numan, Depeche Mode, The Human League, OMD, etc through to more modern stuff acts like Venetian Snares who quote them as an influence.

They sold tons of albums and even had hit singles in Europe, such as The Model which was #1 in the U.K. Most people consider those early albums as their peak, music that had not been heard before, something new - and most people consider their albums from around post 1985 when they were dicking around with remixes a lot and not producing new original sounding music, but just adopting the technology and sounds of the day as their nadir.

Citizenchis I think linked this brilliant BBC Documentary 'Synth Britannia'. Watch at least the first 4 parts of this 10 part youtube clips (around 8-10 mins each) to see how influential Kraftwerk were. Europeans especially know this.

what i meant was, from what i have read and seen, kraftwerk was looked at as a joke.. now they are considered living legacys...
the key words are "from what i read and have seen" (seen as in documentary's) idk though i wasnt alive in the 70's and i didn't really get into music till the 90's. my point was, you never know what is going to be considered a legacy in the future.


to chili d or whatever..

what does being in your 20's have to do with "being in the loop?" there are so many people in there 20's that know way less than other people in there 30's and up about music.
i hate when people talk about youth like it gives you some great insight on good music. age isnt shit.
im in my 20's pretty soon i will be in my 30's and around the corner from that i will be 80..
what you suddenly dont know what is going on when you are out of your 20's?
you have to interact with people in there 20's to still be with it? almost everyone i know in there 20's is musically retarded just like most people of any other age group, and i would never trust there opinion on good music.

i have a sister who is 18,she has great taste in music but her friends really dont give a shit..

age has nothing to do with it.

i know haha like being 20 makes you a gourmet music chef,suck my glowstick
