Absolutely
>Fripp
He isn't remembered now
>Yorke
lol
>McCartney
lol
none of them
nor will there be memory of beethoven mozart bach
autocomposition units will provide instantaneous original music thousands of times more intricate and beautiful than these comporable novices
individually suited to the listener and the listener's circumstances
Why do you assume it's a repeating thing? What if all anyone cares about 200 years from now are still those dudes?
William Patrick Corgan
out of popular music, probably my man brian
everyone else is merely a good pop musician, brian is an artist
Unfortunately, It's probably going to be something like
Lennon
Bob Marley
Nirvana/Cobain.
>fripp isn't remembered now
what? Even people that don't usually like that kind of music rate ITCOTCK really highly
>Nirvana/Cobain.
no
David Bowie
David Byrne
David Gilmour
Kanye, Björk, Eminem

claire boucher
underrated post. people in the future will experience music so advanced that will make bach to sound like an amateur.
Only real answer in this thread
i have no idea who fripp. this user is right.
I think it will depend on what kinda stuff people who actually study music care about. So probably guys like
me
Kanye and
...
>remembered
a few
>to the extent of the top classical composers
probably none, because they've been well-remembered and well-regarded for centuries already
basically you can't catch up to someone with that much of a head start
at least not unless there's a very major shift in what people hold in esteem as far as music
but to answer your question, Dylan and McCartney fit but they're kind of technicalities at this point, they're not going to produce any big new songs or albums
beyond that I have a bunch of maybes:
- the Pointer Sisters
- Cher
- Billy Joel
- some of the early influential figures in rap and hip-hop
- some of the first metal musicians
- Devo (surviving members)
- Queen (surviving members)
I'd like to count Weird Al among them because he's been so prolific and he's influenced how musicians think about their status and he's just a nice guy, but other than White and Nerdy his popularity has mostly gone down or remained low from his heyday in the mid-to-late 80s
I think a better question would be which 20th-century musicians will be remembered, because that encompasses more entire careers, rather than a bunch of people who are still getting started or have yet to produce their best work
complexity doesn't equal greater artistic merit
>complexity doesn't equal greater artistic merit
Wrong.
None of the music that we care about today will be regularly listened to by the average person in TWO HUNDRED years time. People will mostly focus on what exists at their current period (same as right now). Most people today don't even listen to music older than their parent's generation (baby boomer 1960's era), even though there is decades of older music. Old rock and pop of the last 50 years will be seen as passe entertainment, and will maybe be enjoyed by some esoteric groups and historians. Whatever is generally considered the best of their genres by the hardcores will be the equivalents of the most respected classical composers (although the difference is obviously very large, as baroque/classical/romantic has a much different connotation to rock and pop for many reasons). You should be asking what traditional music makes the best comparison instead, since they are far more similar.
- someone who already listens to/cares about very old music.
No, they regard Red and Thrak highly though

this is an improvisation from my friend, I think it is nice, but it is never going to be remembered, :(
:(
:(((((¡¡¡¡¡
Wayne Shorter
Sonny Rollins
The Beatles
mayyyyyybe Bob Dylan
ask anyone at your school or job if they know who king crimson are and you will be very disappointed
Not my favorite artists, so I don't really care.
Lou Reed btw.
Freddy Mercury
Bohemian Rhapsody will echo through the ages

t. reddit
*ahem*
That’s such a reddit comment
true, there will be bots that will use FL Studio to make the best songs you have ever heard
>tfw you think humanity's gonna make it past to that point...
non-classical musicians will always be regarded by history as CULTURAL, not MUSICAL figures, thus the answer is that no popular musicians will. As I believe there will be an ideological revolt against modern classical music and its composers (there's a reason the average person is repulsed by Lachenmann and his friends), the answer is that the esteem held for the people represented in OP's pick will likely remain uncontested.
The bots will take that into account. Anything you can think of, they already know.
The classical musicians.
Arvo Part, Penderecki, Steve Reich, Lachenmann, Ferneyhough, Gubaidulina.
Maybe Lera Auerbach and John Psathas too.
Other musicians won't be remembered because their music isn't written down and recording mediums will be so different in 200 years that no one will be able to play any 200 year old .mp3s, FLACs, CDs, etc. The same way the common person today can't really play any 200 year old wax cylinders.
Since classical music is written down with incredibly detailed performance instructions, it has a very long life time and is open to many different interpretations - being able to be brought into the modern day.
Lachenmann pieces played in 200 years will sound very different to what we know they sound like today, but they will be more in-line with what people want to hear in the future than what we want to hear now.
these niggas bridged the gaps of musical eras consider that fuckboys
daerht/
wrong re: file formats. absurd to think they won't be playable even in 1000 years, assuming humans still exist
can you play a 200 year old wax cylinder right now?
There's your answer my friend.
Hell recordings might not even be a thing any more - everyone realizing live music is the way to go.
GHOUL!!!!
>some people actually want this to happen
Wax recordings aren't instantly and infinitely copyable pieces of data that can be stored 10 billion times over in a tiny flash drive user, what a stupid comparison
lol
this
shame he's gonna die soon, though
not Kanye lets just say. the future will be way too civilized to be impressed by degenerate gangsters with gold grills and baggy pants barking about 'fuckin hoes'. I mean c'mon. the future people would be embarrassed that was ever a thing desu
Claire Boucher
I would add Ligeti and take Ferneyhough.
My bad with Ligeti. Now I read alive...
patrician detected.
probably tylo be chillin
the only answer is grimes
Composers maybe, musicians zero
The point is technology changes a lot in 200 years. Most people can't play a cassette from 20 years ago, people certainly won't be able to play any current digital file format in 200 years.
>Archaeologists discovered a strange 21st century artifact in the ruins of New York recently - the device seemed to be some kind of accessory for a pre-organic computer. While we know from contemporary writings of the time that a system of "binarey" was used on these ancient devices, it is unlikely we will ever be able to work out what this device was used for. Since the great CME of 2092, and the brief dark ages that followed, all knowledge of pre-organic ancient computing was lost.
Structural analysis shows that these ancient devices didn't even use organic matter, leaving scientists puzzled.
Yeah you're retarded.
The only popular music artists from this era that will be remembered are:
>The Velvet Underground
>Chuck Berry
>Fats Domino
>Sugarhill Gang
>DJ Kool Herc
>Bob Dylan
>Bob Marley
>Lee "Scratch" Perry
That's it.
>>DJ Kool Herc
If you asked random people on the street if they knew who this was it would probably take >1000 people before you get a yes
>people certainly won't be able to play any current digital file format in 200 years.
Sure they will. Just 1s and 0s.
>these niggas bridged the gaps
Why the racism?
This meme will be over by then.
>Structural analysis shows that these ancient devices didn't even use organic matter, leaving scientists puzzled.
LPs will survive. PVC can last a 1000 years.
The soundwave is directly engraved onto the material. If scientists then can't figure out how to "decode" that, well...
It doesn't matter. He'll be in the history books. Your favorite artist won't.
Paul McCartney
John Lennon
Jimi Hendrix
John Coltrane
Miles Davis
Elvis Presley
Bob Marley
Frank Sinatra
Madonna
Morrissey
Neil Young
Curb Cobain
Prince
Michael Jackson
The RZA
The GZA
Ol' Dirty Bastard
Inspectah Deck
Raekwon the Chef
U-God
Ghostface Killah
and the Method Man
And maybe Iggy Pop.
As much as I love Hip Hop, I don't think anyone is on the level of popular appeal as Elvis or Madonna.
>As much as I love Hip Hop, I don't think anyone is on the level of popular appeal as Elvis or Madonna.
Eminem has a 12 and a 10 million selling album, Madonna only has a 9 and 8
Nobody after 1980 will be a recognizable name. With the possible exception of Metallica.
As huge as hip hop is it doesn't age well for the most part.
If you can shorten the experiment to only 100 years that gives a good idea of how little popstars are remembered.
Stephen Foster and Taikovsky are probably the only recognizable names from the entire 1800s. Maybe Richard Wagner
I mean that were born in the 1800s
tom york
>Hey, isn't that from JoJo? xD
Maybe Steve Reich or Philip Glass.
What history book will that be in?
Ragtime dominated pop for like 20 years too and Scott Joplin is the one and only remembered name from it.
>Stephen Foster and Taikovsky
whodat? I've literally don't know who they are although I've heard Tarkovsky's name pronounced
Berlioz and Brahms are already on a set course for immortality as long as more than a thousand humans are around. If we're talking about musicians all I can think of is Paganini and Liszt
And neobaroque synthpop prog will come on top relatively soon
You are most likely familiar with Stephen Fosters music.
Particularly in the USA, Fosters work will be recognized before any of the others mentioned.
The Beatles. They remaster they're stuff like every 8 years.
Aphex Twin
Ricardo Villalobos
let's hope so
The best of the best of all the genres will be remembered but they won't ever attain status as household names. There'll be niche communities into them though.
Ones documenting the history and development of popular music. Herc basically invented hip hop. Hip hop will never die, but people will forget Public Enemy, NWA, etc. because they didn't really do anything new despite being more famous.
Doesn't really work like that though.
Leopold Mozart is known as "Mozart's dad" if at all.
This will never happen idiots.
The whole point of music is that it's human. At least for anyone who listens to music outside of Ultra Music Festival or elevators.
Robots will make Musak but will never be the primary source of music.
Considering only LIVING musicians:
>Steve Reich
>Philip Glass
>John Williams
Recently deceased:
>Pierre Boulez
>Peter Maxwell-Davies
>Einojuhani Rautavaara
I think that in order to remembered an artist has to have an extensive discography on top of having been popular during or after his or her death.
Most of it will depend on which country or culture is in power 200 years from now. If it's, say the Chinese then none of these people will be remembered
Hiphop is already becoming stale
Huxley pls go
