Media has changed. Music isn't controlled by 4 or 5 big labels anymore. I can go find 30 bands I've never heard of easily. In the 60s,70s and 80s.....it was difficult to find any band other than waht was given to you on the radio or mtv. College radio in the 80s gave you some different options but not many people listened or had access to college radio. I think it's a positive development to not have a few big bands dominating what we hear.

No you don’t. Gen X isn’t letting you have Metallica.

At least they won't be able to charge $300 bucks to see them in concert.

Maybe DMB?

Rock music is largely irrelevant to Millennials, so probably someone like Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, or Bruno Mars. Bruno is definitely this generation’s Michael Jackson/Prince

King gizzard are pretty popular but they make trash music so they won’t be remembered 5 years from now
1. You're an idiot, at least 3 of their albums are among the best of the decade.
2. While they are certainly growing and growing (selling out most shows last US tour), their biggest (other than Desert Daze) North American crowd was the 4000 at the sold out Hollywood Palladium. That's aways from Beatles/Stones.
I am curious to how big they actually are in Oceania...

There’s no innovation in music anymore so why should any one act stand out. DMB maybe the most lasting and unique from the past 20 years. We’re due for a new cycle to start.

I was thinking Nirvana, The Backstreet Boys, and N.W.A.
Now each band/group may not have necessarily been at their peak during “peak millennial years”, but I think it’d be hard to argue any groups having more powerful influence on the musical tastes of that generation and beyond.

Coldplay was (emphasis added) a really good band. Parachutes and A Rush of Blood to the Head were really good albums. They started experimented more with electronics in X&Y. Still a good album though. Viva la Vida or Death and All of His Friends was still a solid album - especially the lesser known cuts (Cemeteries of London, Death and All of his Friends).
After that, they went full head on pop/electronic. They evolved, and not for the better. I miss the days when Coldplay was actually a band. You know, the Spies, A Whisper, Cemeteries of London, God Put A Smile on Your Face, High Speed, Shiver Coldplay.

Nirvana? Foo Fighters? Pearl Jam? Oasis? Radiohead? Coldplay? The Killers?

Not a band, but Like Lennon to a Millennial.

NSYNC vs Backstreet Boys.
How was I the first to mention the obvious?
One band broke up and the other is still touring well after their prime. See what I mean?

It's always been that way, they just didn't have venues outside of local establishments to push their music. Hell, Shreveport was loaded with good bands in the 70's and early 80's that no one ever heard from outside the region.
Smaller cities had pretty damn good music scenes in those days, not like everything else, musicians tend to flock to regional music centers like Austin, Portland, etc.
Bars and clubs were thriving with rock music. Cover bands have taken over now.

frick. Did we just become best friends? What's your favorite dinosaur?
I always tell people I'm an Oldplay fan, not a Coldplay fan. (It hasn't caught on.)

Probably Coldplay or The Killers

That's tough to say. As mentioned, they put out some great, earlier music. I really like Spies and A Whisper. Cemeteries of London is, obviously, newer, but I love that song. It really paints a clear picture of a gloomy, cool dark night in London.

Asinine, but unfortunately true. At this point, rock has become a "niche" following when compared to country, rap, pop, hip/hop, and electronic music. You can see how lineups of major music festivals reflect this shift in preference as festivals that were once dominated by rock acts are now primarily stocked with EDM "talent".
Pop culture has largely abandoned new rock music, and this is evident in advertising and soundtracks to television and movies. You don't hear much new rock music compared to everything else.
I am a rock devotee, but I'm not blind. I can see that my tastes are not in the mainstream, and I can tell when a genre has been placed on the backburner. Radio stations that are supposedly new "rock" stations aren't even playing rock music anymore in favor of groups like Lorde, 21 Pilots, Bastille, and Lumineers, and those stations are getting increasingly rare too.
Now, even as a niche following, this is a nation of well over 300 million people. That means that there are still a shite ton of new rock fans out there. While there aren't as many aspiring rock n roll musicians as there used to be, I would argue that among those people, their "Beatles" are The Beatles. Those types grew up listening to the old music. The "legends" they sought to emulate are Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Smiths, The Ramones, and Nirvana. For the metal folks, it's Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Pantera, and Metallica. While they might enjoy jamming out to the new stuff, it just isn't as influential to them.
If I had to pick the most influential bands of the past 20 years, I would likely argue Weezer, Coldplay, Tool, Cage the Elephant, Jack White, The Black Keys, The Killers, and Linkin Park would be among the most referenced influences.

What band is the millennials Rolling Stones/Beatles?
been mentioned but I think RHCP have to be the best answer here. Obviously no band, even the beatles back in their day, are going to be 100% loved across teh board by all. But RHCP I think has the broadest mass appeal among the age range mentioned. The older millenials were introduced to californication and btw. The younger millenials were first introduced to btw and stadium arcadium. Between 20-33 or whatever the frick a millenial is these days, I think RHCP is going to have a massively high number of people that are good wtih them or like them. What I mean is, if you polled 10K people in the demographic "what do you think of the RHCP" I think you'd get a much higher positive response rate than you would any of the other bands mentioned. LOL at people listing DMB and metallica.
