which 5 music artists will be remembered in 200+ years?
This question begins with the premise that the common person really doesn't know a halluva lot about the top music artists from the 1700 & 1800s. Sure, YOU might know a ton of classical artists, but most only know names like mozart, chopin, bach.. maybe a couple others.
So fast-forward 200-250 years. If you were limited to 5 music artists covered here on BEA, which covers artists from the 1930s to the present day, which FIVE music artists will be remembered by most people (the common person) say between 2214-2264 ?
My guess...
Definitely:
01 elvis
02 the beatles
03 michael jackson
Next couple guesses:
04 miles davis
05 pink floyd
But those last 2 could be any 2 other major historical "modern era" artists, imo. So i really think only the first 3 names will be remembered in a couple centuries.
What do you think? Remember, the question is "which 5 artists WILL be remembered?" by the masses in a few centuries. The question is NOT "which 5 *should* be remembered?".
(Apologies if this topic has been threaded here before.)

1. The Beatles
2. Michael Jackson
3. Madonna
4. Coldplay
5. Eminem
Although pretty much everyone anyone is going to say will be remembered in this thread because of the internet (the game changer) and other advancements. There will be probably be albums on the bandcamp archive which haven't been listened to by no living human being for perhaps... more than 50 years being plucked out of obscruity and sent around millions of computers in a week... some even on the Moon and Mars.
It would be more interesting to make 00s and 10s choices here as well. Some grumpy people back in The Beatles day would have said they would be completely forgotten in 10 years, others would have called Black Sabbath a passing fad which won't stand the test of time. Perhaps some said the same thing when Led Zep first came. Evil guitar music making Satan appear.

Brad Paisley and LL Cool J, most definitely. If the enders of racism were to be forgotten then it'd be a historic tragedy.

Beethoven? Haydn? Liszt? Handel? Tchaikovsky? Mendelssohn? Vivaldi? Wagner? Mahler (he's a little more recent and yet)? Brahms? Joplin? I'd bet you most people of those at LEAST know Beethoven, Joplin and Tchaikovsky ... probably at least heard of the others too. I'm not a classical buff by any means, but as someone who's taken world history classes and has grandparents, I'm familiar with all of those.
Anyways, as to who I think will live on, we'll have more than 5. To simplify why, think about it like literature - before Swift sort of revolutionized writing, we don't know a lot of authors. Some, yeah, will live on forever, Shakespeare and the other greats, but Swift sort of marks a point where authors became more of cultural icons and less just that their works were respected by those respectful (and rich) enough to enjoy it. I think Jazz sort of was that Swift transition (all pun intended) where music started to become more well talked about and preserved, and especially once Elvis and others came in, it was cemented.
In no order:
Copland
The Beatles
Louis Armstrong
Elvis
Leonard Bernstein
Leadbelly
Robert Johnson
Miles Davis
Benny Goodman
Bob Dylan
Robert Johnson
Sinatra
Britten
Jay-Z
The Ramones
The Sex Pistols (MAYBE)
Ellington
Gillespie
Backstreet Boys
Hendrix
Beastie Boys
Johnny Cash
Joan Baez
Kenny G
Ravi Shankar
Carlos Santana
The Kinks
Getz
Bob Marley
DMC
EDIT: Madonna, Coldplay, Eminem, and U2 should probably be here too.
I'd say all of those will make it 200 years. Admittedly some will be more for their cultural impact (Backstreet) and some may be remembered only among certain ethnic groups (possibly Santana or Shankar or Marley) while others may be only remembered among certain types of people (ie who knows if jazz will be looked back at like classical, but there'll still always be jazz fans I think).
And outlaw, I'd say the 5 2000s musicians with the best shots of long term impact would be:
J Biebz (wish that was a joke, but culturally ...)
OK Go (re-revolutionized the music video and launched YouTube in many ways)
Arcade Fire (One of the more famous and acclaimed ones already)
The Strokes (See above)
Gorilaz (Acclaimed, high fan base, possibility of reforming, hologram technology, the idea of a digital band, a SPIN magazine writer also called "Clint Eastwood" the song of Generation Y)
Not counting Green Day, Jay-Z, Eminem, or Elliot Smith as 2000s

Well, If there aren't any nuclear wars, or aliens that will take out to their galaxy to drink a little bit of their human brain tea, or music crack on wall street, or landings on pluto
Lol
I don't know how can us in the future remember one of these bands, like the technology will davance a lot and maybe new music exist, and it can be labeled as better than 70s musiv or shit like that, I guess they made the same question in 1814, and look to the answer now.... welll
But really Most of our favorite bands will be pulled to the big absyys of oblivion, and will be forgot, I would like to see SY or Pink floyd, or Sex pistols in the future, but a great part of it can be forgoten like dirt.... IDK it's just a hard question
I would like to see remembered ( Also I will make a time capsule)
Sonic Youth
The Clash
QOTSA
The Kinks
Kraftwerk
But unfortunately these will probably be remembered:
The Beatles
Pink Floyd (ewwwww 2214s people singing another brick in the wall ewwww)
David Bowie
Led Zeppelin
Nirvana (maybe)
Elvis Presley
