Members New Trail Posted May 21, 2012 Members Share Posted May 21, 2012 What current songs, or songs from the past decade or so will be the standards in the future? Which songs will stand the test of time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vito Corleone Posted May 21, 2012 Members Share Posted May 21, 2012 No way to know. For one thing, both of those songs--and most others in that catagory--are songs that were pretty dead for several years and then have nostalgic comebacks a decade or two later. The current songs that become "standards" will be like those: their will be hit 'remakes' of them in a decade or two; they'll be used in hit movies or TV shows, sung at ballparks and sporting events, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TrickyBoy Posted May 21, 2012 Members Share Posted May 21, 2012 It is hard to say for current stuff, but I think tunes from the 80's like Living on a Prayer and Don't Stop Believing have already reached that stature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TIMKEYS Posted May 21, 2012 Members Share Posted May 21, 2012 maybe some tom petty or somthing. I dont think you can predict it. Its a wait and see what old songs stay on bands setlists I know for sure that down here they will be playing gagaritaville long after everyone in my band is dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wheresgrant3 Posted May 21, 2012 Members Share Posted May 21, 2012 Songs that bands cover that seem to have universal appeal with a range of age groups "Don't Stop Beliving"Blister In The SunLiving On A PrayerMy Own Worst EnemyCrazy BitchYou Shook Me All Night Long And I've never played a lick of Mustang Sally... and maybe never will. In NY it's not the low hanging fruit crowd-pleasers that other songs tend to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vito Corleone Posted May 21, 2012 Members Share Posted May 21, 2012 Songs that bands cover that seem to have universal appeal with a range of age groups"Don't Stop Beliving"Blister In The SunLiving On A PrayerMy Own Worst EnemyCrazy BitchYou Shook Me All Night Long Most of those songs are already well over 20 years old and have long been established as MS or BEG type standards. I think the OP is asking which MODERN tunes will stick around. I don't think it really has anything to do with the song. Could something like "Sexy and I Know It" be something bands are playing in 20-30 years? Sure. Why not? It's no worse than "Sweet Caroline" or "Blister in the Sun". But it won't be because the song was such a bit hit in 2012. It will be because something happens in the future that helps to connect that song to the audiences of the future.

Members jeff42 Posted May 21, 2012 Members Share Posted May 21, 2012 a modern song? Out of all of them I will have to put my money on Dynamite. We picked it up summer of 2010 right when radio in my area was starting to play it constantly. This song STILL gets the crowd going even 2 years later.

Members tlbonehead Posted May 21, 2012 Members Share Posted May 21, 2012 The only songs I can think of that have a chance are already 15 years old. Mr. Jones, Hey Jealousy, Allison Road, Lightning Crashes, Shine, Man in a Box maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm...all good songs that might be classics but I hardly see them as MS, BEG type "pack the dance floor with girls" songs years from now... ...I know things are different out your way, but girls requesting Alice In Chains?

Really?yes, the biggest AIC fans I know around here are female. If The Rooster or Man in a Box get requested it is almost always by a female. As for the first part, I just don't see any newer songs having that power, but who knows. So much popular music is throw-away stuff these days.

A) I don't remember too many chicks being into Staley or AIC even back in the 90s and among those who WERE B) I'd be scared as {censored} to see them now....

Members Vito Corleone Posted May 22, 2012 Members Share Posted May 22, 2012 I guess I could see "Man In A Box" being popular years from now in a "Born To Be Wild" sort of way. But not in a MS, BEG way. If that's a meaningful difference? Maybe I'm over-thinking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you can say those songs cover that same area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
