Only considering bands/musicians that have appeared on the scene in the last 10 years, which do you think will stand the test of time?

I would have to go with Radiohead or Coldplay for staying power. Maybe Snow Patrol, Killers, Muse also. Cant think of any others off the top of my head. I will have to get to this post. I do pray its not FOB. They are horrible.

Pearl Jam for sure. It seems everyone of those guys is n overall good person and they all love playing.

If you don’t count members leaving, Velvet Revolver. They’re looking for new singer now.

Last 10 years please.

I hope Jimmy Eat World will. How about Atmosphere, Lupe Fiasco, or Common – they all have good potential. I also think The White Stripes will stick around for a bit – everytime they release something new it’s hyped about.

Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Lily Allen, Linkin Park

Just a disclaimer: my musical tastes are quite diverse, but to answer your question: off the top, I would nominate John Mayer as an all-around musician, songwriter, performer…

I can’t really think of any “greats” that have surfaced since ‘98. Maybe My Morning Jacket or The Decemberists. Norah Jones probably. Richard Hawley deserves more recognition, so I hope he’ll be around for a while. I suspect people will be listening to Jack Johnson for years to come, but I find him boring.

@pupntaco good choices. Wasn’t even thinking of them. I could see The Decemberists and Norah Jones staying around also.

PnT: Jack Johnson, yes. <3

Yeah seconded on My Morning Jacket, and String Cheese Incident.

Coldplay all the way to the end :) some others too

I call Coldplay the new ABBA; damn, they know how to write a catchy pop song.
I love Jack White and Colin Oberst, and I think there music will live forever.

Marit Larsen,Robbie Willians, Christina Aguilera. Aly and AJ

Hanson! Um-Bop! Ok, actually I think they may have some decent music these days. I’ll vote on Coldplay as well. They seem to have quite a hypnotizing sway over the current music industry. I could see them achieving U2ish accomplishments.

As for Fall Out Boy, I’m not sure they have quite the sound to make that type of a longterm impact. The White Stripes may have a bit more potential, but I don’t see them hitting it big quite like The Rolling Stones.

Here’s my list of a few other bands with possible potential for massive longterm stardom: The Fray (if they ever make some more music that is), James Blunt, Muse, Switchfoot/Jon Foreman (this may much more likely be Jon Foreman in the long run), OneRepublic (probably a longshot)

The real question is when where there ever be another New Kids on the Block?

@aa Hopefully not.

The Killers, Coldplay, Fountains of Wayne, Ben Folds, World Party, John Mayer, Foo Fighters, maybe Maroon 5 (that is my sentimental favorite).

those Jonas Brothers have some catchy tunes, they have great potential if they don’t become washed away like other Disney stars (sadly hannah montana will) :)
Kanye West has a chance to stay on top of the hip hop game. He has meaningful lyrics and has a diverse group of listeners.

Diane Krall, Jet, Kenny Wayne Sheppherd. They all sound so much like the classics, and the classics will always have a place. Oh yeah, and Michael Buble is the new Sinatra. fistbump anyone?
