Such-and-such is the so-and-so of today…

I’ve often thought about what current bands come closest to filling the roles that older bands filled in the past. For instance, I wonder who are the Beatles of today? Or the Led Zeppelin? Or the Pink Floyd? Etc, etc, etc. While it is important, I don’t think their superficial sound should be the primary consideration. I’d give more weight to their impact on music and their energy and their abilities to convey their music. So, who do you think comes closest to being the current version of the following bands?

  1. The Beatles
  2. The Who
  3. Velvet Underground
  4. Pink Floyd
  5. Led Zeppelin
  6. Rolling Stones
  7. Allman Brothers
  8. Black Sabbath
  9. Ted Nugent
  10. The Clash
