I think you guys are being overly optimistic.

After 200 years, Stephen Foster's work is remembered. Can you name one other songwriter from that time?

Let's go back just 100 years. Everybody knows Scott Joplin. But there were dozens of other popular ragtime composers working at the same time: with resorting to Wikipedia, can you name even ONE?

Let's go back even less time than that, to the 1920's and 30's. Berlin, Gershwin. Who else can you name? It comes into better focus in the 40s, and then the 50's was in many of or lifetimes, so the number grows.

The work of some of he people you name will still be accessible, thanks to modern recording. But remembered? Still considered important? Not many. The Beatles, certainly, as they were the most innovative songwriters of the rock era. I'd be hard pressed to name even one other.

Sure, some guitar players will keep the Cult Of Jimi's New Clothes alive. But remembered 200 years from now... well, c'mon. There are crowds of young musicians right now who don't know who he is. In 200 years, it's not likely.

ALso, keep in mind that when Mozart was working, there were lots of more popular composers. Who emerges as the "greats" of our time may surprise, if we were to live that long.

The major difference between now and 200 years ago is that everybody(in 'the modern world') is being constantly exposed to music and are always able to listen to music(stereos, car stereos, mp3 etc etc). And nowadays people have easier access to whatever music they like

The music industry 'boomed' in the 60's, and at least to me, the 60's represent a musical revolution, not because new forms of music were getting popular, but because music finally became a key ingredient in every persons life

And at least, I DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BELIEVE that DSOTM's 14 years on Billboard will be easily forgotten, ESPECIALLY not as the music industry is getting more and more commercial

And don't consider this an answer or reply to the quoted post, it's just a post inspired by it 8)

Fast forward to 2208. Assume the same-ish state-ish of the world (not a post-nuclear war or famine / genocidal hell).

What music, musicians, performers of the 20th century will be remembered?

And why?

18th cen, Hayden, Bach.

19th century, Beethoven, Stephen Foster.

You get the idea.
20th?


'Ooby Dooby', as sung by Roy Orbison. If you don't know why already, you probably won't want to know why...

Thanks! Your topic is very valid, though. The 20th Century has a wealth of recorded music of different genres, and future generations are going to have to wade through a LOT of it. Who knows?

P.S. I prefer Steppenwolf's 'Magic Carpet Ride', but 'Ooby Dooby' is so dang catchy, especially with that guitar break/solo.

Nope. I actually haven't seen it in a couple of years. But I can't think of another futuristic Sci-Fi movie that HAS 20th Century music, especially Rock N' Roll. If I had to think back, I think '2001: A Space Odyssey' was mainly a Classical music soundtrack.

Besides, hearing 'Ooby Dooby' in the Star Trek (not treck) 'First Contact' movie was incongruously funny to me. It was so wrong that maybe it was right.

Call me crazy, but the way My Chem is going now, I have a feeling that they will be remembered

The next CD they release will either be bigger than the latest or a flop in the eyes of the mainstream, but they will always be great to me.

But I see a lot of bands that I like such as Green Day and Muse being remembered for what they did.
