You.Make.Me.Sick Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I've been thinking about how successful The Resistance was here in the States -especially Uprising. So, do you think the popularity will continue to grow or do you think it has reached it's peak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Uprising got big, but even I know a lot of people who'd recognize the tune and yet not know who wrote it. Same with a few others like TIRO, KoC and Starlight. So I'd say from a US point of view they're not the biggest band ever yet. As for whether they want to be or care to be is a different point.

Bumpypotato Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Only if they get the same backing the received during the BH&R era. With the exception of Uprising, The Resistance singles flopped in the UK and for once, they only released three instead of the 5/6 from the previous three albums.

HannahG123 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Could do. Look at a band like coldplay for example, viva la vida was a big hit, but paradise was even bigger. (in the uk at least) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(in the uk at least) That was the poppiest song they've ever done, I'm not surprised by it being so popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HannahG123 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 The problem is, to be the biggest hit as in making the charts and being played everywhere, would be very hard for it to be the muse we know and love. So maybe it's best if they don't go that far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hear them that often actually, but that's just a matter of chance probably. they never get played at any party I go to for example, that's all dubstep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't hear Stairway To Heaven being played that often, but it's still considered to be one of the best songs of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HannahG123 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 What would your idea of their 'biggest hit' be then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Their biggest hit is Uprising. The song that is gonna be remembered as their "greatest song" (If people will even see them as anything other than a Radiohead tribute band in 20 years) would probably be Knights of Cydonia. Neither of these are good songs for a party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And biggest hit is very different to best song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
