When I find the article I originally read it in, I'll post it. But think about it, Marley's face is on t-shirts and flags sold in street markets across all continents. There's no cheap fake Abbey Road street sign being sold out in Kinshasa bruh.

Where can I get this book? It sounds interesting.

Also, stuff by Miles Davis and John Coltrane will be kept alive for centuries. I'm not even a fan of jazz* but its the sort of thing intellectuals love and they will strive to keep it going. Even now UNESCO have International Jazz Day, I doubt there'll ever be an International Pop/Rock Day.

Fair enough. I was limiting my options to the top 100 though.

Don't get me wrong, I think the Beatles were genius-level musicians too, I just don't know how someone would go about proving something like that. If you find the name of the textbook, let us know.

It was just a standard college textbook on music history, covering cavemen banging rocks together through to "the present". The last chapter was about the 20th century, and had a lot more to say about Irving Berlin and the Gershwins than it did about Rock and Roll.
I'll see if I still have it, but I don't think I do.
