what's scary is probably the most Standardized band lately (if we're going by george gosset's standards, which i agree with) is Radiohead

Mark are you trolling for material on a piece about standards today, or what?

thirteen years pass...

Surprised this thread fizzled out. Anyway, I was thinking of Kool & the Gang's "Celebration," which was 1980 but still inconceivable at this point as anything other than a ubiquitous popular standard that you always hear at public events and, well, celebrations. What else has had its wedding band status solidified in the past couple of decades? I have a hunch "Uptown Funk" will stick around for parties and cover bands. I heard a cover band play it in a park the other day and the crowd immediately perked up and started dancing.
