I'm sure there are so much more to add:
Erick Clapton "Slowhand"
Burt Bacharach "Casino Royal"

Ghostouse,
Thank for really good way to figure that out...
Perhaps therefore I've mentioned Henry Mancini "Pink Panther".
Not sure if Kenny Rogers albums will be popular 50 years from now, although he's been released all over...
There are chances that Petula Clark will still be rockin on players, but less-likely Dorris Day except perhaps "Dorris Day Christmass Album".
Miles Davis "Kind Of Blue" is popular album of Miles Davis despite being jazz. |
Tostadosunidos,
Some hip-hop and rap is backed up with great instrumental and funky work!
Speaking of rap
Bestie Boys -- "Lisence to Ill" has VERY good chance to live 50 years more from now as it's almost lived already half-the term so as albums down bellow:
Public Enemy -- "...Nation of Million..."
Run DMC -- "Raising Hell" |
From the very current bright stars, I'd nominate
Sona Jobarteh
Melody Gardot
Alison Krauss
Identical to Brittney Spears, that almost faded away, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake and Beiber and other super-popular artists will less likely make it there... |
Rich, classical music is no contest. Will survive another 500 years.
Inna, forget the old music and emerge new please. |
Inna,
Nearly 20 years ago, I stopped listening almost every popular title listed here (simply got bored and please DSOM, LZ and RS listeners don't get offended, but it's true) and listen to mostly what's strange, weird, unusual and sophisticated plus indeed classical music. I get far more joy from Michael Rabin than from Michael Jackson for sure!
I'm seller of music for VERY long period of time (since my early teens) and as once Scarface told, I "don't get high out of my own supply" and usually what I sell I can only listen for grading purposes.

Well, Frank, @oregonpapa ,
Being a music dealer I don't recall selling those for the past 35 years, so it doesn't seem to add-up to the subject, but the future is always unpredictable and may 'resurrect' some of the artifacts and bring it back to life :-)

My grandpa, the Dachau concentration camp detainee, once asked me never listen to Wagner as this music was played during mass murders of detainees in camps of death.
Later I learned that David Oystrach was playing Wagner's music.
The lesson is that dictators such as 'Putler' or Hitler or even Killary had have their own music preferences and it shouldn't really mean that "Balalaika" sucks because 'Putler' likes that.
Balalaika, harmonica and dobro are Russian folk instruments and music put together for Russian folk ensembles will certainly live forever same as music and instruments of any other nation.

Not sure of My Fair Lady or Oklahoma, but more likely
Fantom of The Opera
Sound of Music
Lion King
Fidler On The Roof. |
Beatles will be known as guilty on all counts for bringing pop music into this world! |
@oregonpapa and @sevs,
I was under the same impression, but if all of a sudden Russian balalaika and bayan melodies will be main interest Putin, it definitely does not mean that I have to trash all of these records and stop listening to them.
Same way Wagner did not intend to write music for Third Reich in late 19th century, but was idolized by Nazis as true Arian German composer.

@ptss
50's,60's rock may not be popular 50 years from now simply because listeners don't have much life left. Only certain titles/artists will still remain. Note that classical music is also selective in terms of what now musicians perform.
