When I think of current acts who are still going to be talking about in another 10, 15 years, only one name comes to mind: Beyonce. Now, now, now....I know that some of you are going to hate me for this, but as I've said in earlier posts, unlike many women, I'm not a Beyonce-hater. That said, I don't worship her like some do either. But you have to respect her work ethic and her drive. I can't think of anyone else (except for her husband) out there currently who has had the vision and the business smarts to successfully make themselves a brand in the way that she has. Think about it, this child hasn't had a career failure, and she's been in the public eye for 16 years. I can't think of anyone else who can really say that. She continues to raise the bar on every album, and the rest of the music world has to come up to her level. That said, with the exception of 1 or 2 songs per album, I can't stand the rest of her solo music. I like Destiny's Child stuff much better. To me, I don't think that her solo stuff has any heart or depth. I think that her voice is wasted on dance anthems and club-bangers, but that's a story for another day. Nonetheless, she is the one that the little girls of this generation are going to want to be like when they grow up, and I guess who can blame them.
So I ask you, What Current Acts Do You Think Are Legends In Their Own Time? I know, there are probably only a handful (literally) to choose from, but who do you think they are? You may include Indie Acts, as well......
