acroyeardon't mention LOTR (written in 1940s, films conceived in 1996), or Harry Potter (first book written in the 1990s), or The Matrix (first film, 1999).
most recent case in point, a radio station doing "mix hits" that plays on the next door quickie-mart I get my coffee from. They were advertising that they played the best songs from the 80s (Men Without Hats' Safety Dance), the 90s (I Get Knocked Down, But I Get Up Again), and Today.
For today, they played a cover version of Supertramps' Give A Little Bit, written in 1977.
So far, the best pop song written in the 2000s by a group that became famous in the 2000s, was 1985, an intentional play for a retro-oriented crowd.
So where's today? What has come out so far in the 21st century by groups that weren't releasing stuff in the 1990s that's actually worth listening to?
Anything?
didn't think so...
