41374, RE: I Never Thought The Roots Would Become THIS Irrelevant... Posted by alindenver, Thu Aug-31-06 11:54 AM
co-sign...when people talk about music 50 years from now, the roots will be as revered as the velvet underground, the stooges, the modern lovers, brian jones, gram parsons, grant green, and nico, all of which were seriously slept on in their heyday. i can't speak for the roots themeselves, but if it were me i'd much rather have the catalog of impeccable albums and an incredible legacy than be relegated to a pop-trivia question about novelty rap songs of the 00's. the real question should be: why can't we just appreciate them now and not worry about soundscan #s?
