Before you leave a comment or rate read this. This is all my personal opinions about the music industry and musical tastes. I am just sending my opinion out, If you don't like my opinion please post your own. Now lets begin this blog about the way the music industry is moving and heading.
The Plain White T's are a band that I do like, I am not thesuperomegazomfgfanboy, but I think they make good music.Someone left a comment on youtube today that made me think about the Plain White T's. "idk y but TO ME they? are like a new generation of the beatles" on the song 1234 by Plain White T's. Now why would some dumb probably teenage girls comment get me thinking you ask? Well it got me thinking about other bands being called the new generation of Beatles one being The...Jonas Brothers *sigh*. That got me thinking will there be another Beatles ever? A band bigger than Jesus that everyone likes. Also What candidates are there for such a position.
A few bands I could think of that could accurately be compared to the Beatles would be the Backstreet Boy, The Shins, Foo Fighters, and hell even The Plain White T's. All four represent something the Beatles were. Weather it be the Backstreet Boys for making teenage girls hearts flutter, The Shins for writing trippy songs you can get high off of, the Foo Fighters for breaching an artistic medium in music that was missing, or The Plain White T's for solid song writing that has emotional connections in every lyric.
When it comes down to it can anyone compare? The Beatles were the rare band that could write their own music that could stand for a political cause while reaching an emotional boundary deep within. I wish that was still around but unless John Lennon comes back as a zombie it doesn't look likely. At least we have bands that can help fill the void of the greatest band.
Maybe 10 years from now we will look at the Plain White T's and go wow they were the second incarnation of the Beatles. For now we can just sit back and listen to what comes our way.
