Who Will Stand the Test of Time?

This morning I was listening to a wonderful record - Quartetto Italiano plays Early Italian Music - Cambini, Galuppi and Boccherini, all from the mid 1700s or so. Do you think there are any 20th century artists people will be listening to in the year 2300? For purposes of this thread, let's be optomistic and presume that society is not going to devolve into "Escape from New York", which it definitely will. But let's put that aside for now. BTW - If you like string quartets, Quartetto Italiano is really good.

The same, or worst conditions, were experienced by, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, Louis Arstrong, Lester Young.... shall I go on? You get my point.

And 'conditions' don't apply to the guys into metal and other such garbage.

Metallica has a decent chance of survival there I would say.

Maybe "Deep Purple" as well.

Motorhead also has a decent chance I would say.

Why should material that appeals more to people's darker side not have a chance of survival? I doubt we will evolve completely beyond that in 300 years. Hopefully, we will survive it though.

Mapman I don't doubt that a lot of 'dark side' stuff will survive. It will depend on how much MONEY can be made off of it. That's the key.

Nothing, dark or otherwise, will survive if there is no market for it.

There will BE NO MUSIC in the future except for generative music. with possible variations on the theme to include interactive music.

Music as we know it - created solely by humans interacting and in direct contact (manipulation) with organic/acoustic/electronic instruments will become rare/non-existant like strawberry jam in the movie SOLENT GREEN.

Enjoy it now while we can....
