The Strokes and Libertines kick-started the whole garage rock revival thing that happened during the early 00's and pretty much saved guitar music. If it hadn't have been for those bands there never would have been an Arctic Monkeys.
Aye, the legs 11 demo shows they were a very different band back then, to the one that was eventually signed by Rough Trade.Yeah, although The Strokes influenced The Libertines. The Libertines were almost a twee acoustic outfit before that. Their manager Banny Poostchi pretty much heard The Strokes and her and Doherty influenced the band to change their sound and image after that, took them to rough trade and that’s The Libertines as we know them. The rapid change in image and sound was a direct influence from The Strokes
Oasis one hit wonders? I despairSome basic outlines:
• Bands formed since 1990
• Three or more members
• Probably 'success' on both sides of the Atlantic
For me personally, it's hard to look past the Foo Fighters, I guess some would say Nirvana but didn't they form in the late 1980s?
Others would say Oasis, but did they really 'crack' America? They are mainly a one-hit wonder for Wonderwall
Then you have the 1990s - early 2000's pop punk stuff - Greenday, Blink 182, etc - they were all successful and quite influential
The same could be said for the nu-metal era - Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach, etc
I guess you could also mention bands like the Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes, Muse, etc as well
I think you win.I'm going Shalamar
In America yeah, that's how they are seen by a lotOasis one hit wonders? I despair
If only…..Oasis one hit wonders? I despair
Formed in 1987.Nirvana id have to say.
People also forget that Kanye was producing and writing tracks for other artists well before he released his debut LP .The answer is Daft Punk, but they don’t meet the requirements of +three members unless you count the two spare guys they dress up as robots to do gigs for them.
Four albums, three totally distinct sounds, and apart from the third album which was a bit of a joke, each album had an unbelievable influence on not only mainstream and underground electronic music, but rippled across pop music, hip hop and r’n’b. It’s hard to get your head around in retrospect, but following the release of each Daft Punk album, the next five years pretty much sounded like people from pop bands to underground DJs trying to sound like Daft Punk - until the next Daft Punk album rewrote the script.
Genius, visionaries, and the most influential band of my lifetime.
There’s been some brilliant guitar bands but it’s all derivative, the sound hasn’t moved on since maybe the mid 90s. The Strokes were very influential but the whole band is an impression of late 70s NY garage punk-pop. Oasis was a new sound, but again, pick any critically acclaimed indie / rock band of any year and it’s the same sound as one that’s gone before it. Someone like LCD Soundsystem are a bit different, because they wanted to sound like Daft Punk. Radiohead are great, but it’s just indie with a bit of Aphex Twin.
The other huge zeitgeist-creating artist of the last 30 years is Kanye West, love him or hate him. Again, all pop and hip hop music copied his sound from the first few albums, he changed sound, everyone copied him again, so he changed sound again and again and again. I don’t really like the state of modern hip hop / r’n’b but Kanye pretty much invented it with The Life of Pablo.
Yup it's gotta be The Strokes. Even new bands and artists now still reference The Strokes as an influence on them. Great band.The Strokes have to be up there, maybe not hugely groundbreaking musically but they pretty much kickstarted the whole 00’s guitar bands thing, which so many bands gained success from such as Arctic Monkeys and lots more. You could reel off a big number of bands that had success in a that period after all the record companies were looking for bands like that after The Strokes appeared.
Close enough for qualityFormed in 1987.
You may be on to something..... looking at the Aqua music videos from the 90s, it's very much a modern day Essex / Made in Chelsea / whatever reality TV show vibeAqua.

Absolutely love that early stuff, wish I'd seen them at that stage. Still hoping for some sort of official vinyl release of their earlier, jazzier moments.Aye, the legs 11 demo shows they were a very different band back then, to the one that was eventually signed by Rough Trade.
Pete said in an interview that they had the songs but they just needed speeding up, with loud distorted guitars. Apparently Time for Heroes started off as a slow tender ballad.
This is how they started out...
