Ageless Music?

Music of the great composers like Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Handel have survived centuries. The greatness of their compositions cannot be denied by anyone. Some have been attributed to having healing powers as well.

I was just wondering what you Agoners think about great music of today or just yesterday from likes of Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Lennon/McCartney, Pink Floyd and many other greats will survive a couple of centuries or beyond?

What really makes certain music to be termed as ageless?

No music is ageless! Your reference to the classical greats presupposes that they will be as popular in 200 years as now.....but, in fact, interest in classical music in general is waning already. Music is a reflection of the society in which it exists - just as any art form. Sooner or later it passes on to become nothing more than an interesting (or not) historical footnote.

I think the only thing that will always be present in music is rhythm, the BEAT!
