X is this generation's Y
Basically this is a thread of people's opinions on what are the modern music equivalents of older stuff. The connections can be anything as long as they make sense, whether it be sound, ability, potential, lyrics, messages, whatever. I'll start off with my own, feel free to debate me or add your own.
Green Day is this generation's The Beatles
My Chemical Romance is this generation's Queen
Muse is this generation's Pink Floyd
AFI is this generation's The Cure
Red Hot Chile Peppers is this generation's Rolling Stones
Jack White (white stripes, raconteurs) is this generation's Bob Dylan
Green Day is this generation's The Beatles
My Chemical Romance is this generation's Queen

Maybe the old bands are this generation's versions of themselves because people still listen to them, and new bands try to be something else?
Whatever the case, Radiohead are undeniably this generation's Beatles, like them or hate them.
The Mars Volta are the next Led Zeppelin
I would say Beck is the next Bod Dylan
The Strokes... the Velvet Underground?

I considered Yes and King Crimson for a long time before deciding at Led Zep. They have a similar sound, and people tend to either love them or hate them.

A very neat idea, lemme try...
For me, it's more about comparing how a band sounds, whether it sounds, grungy, soft, sweet, heavy, etc. But also I guess deals with the band's general theme and tone.
Green Day is this generation's Sex Pistols...
Avenged Sevenfold is this generation's Metallica...
Chris Brown is this generation's Michael Jackson...
Shinedown is this generation's Led Zeppelin...
Slipknot is this generation's Slayer....
I guess that's all for now.

Surprisingly no. I don't hate Beyonce. But I do see the parallels. Lead singer of a hot female trio until her own ego gets in the way and she goes solo, leaving her groupmates to fend for themselves, pretty much. The chief differences between the two are Beyonce has yet to fuck her record label's owner, and I actually like Beyonce's voice. Diana's voice is just plain irritating.

I dissagree with almost every one of the comparisons so far. Probably because the bands/artists mentioned are mainstream and I hate mainstream music.

lol, saw the title of this thread on the "threads currently being viewed" list, blatantly assumed the title was about Pokemon, to then see the last post was made many years before X and Y were even released
interesting thread, now we need a Green Day/Red Hot Chile Peppers rivalry

Much like MadBull, I mistook the title as something to do with Pok
