List of albums that will still be popular 50 years from now...

Wow, finally a thread which put me into a "thinking mode"!!!
my first reaction is to put My list of My favorites, but since most of the tunes already mentioned do not "ring" with me no more (and my extended list of My favs is already at the Desert Island thread), how/what do I know?... Jazz is safe, its a new "classical", but what else? I think its the music which wont be translated into those upcoming new formats of "total immersion" or the music w/o follow-up developments. What I mean is that nobody (except me) listens to Stockhausen, Zenakis, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze  nowadays: it was absorbed by trance/house/club/new age(oh, my!) and sounds already dated to my kids.
Who reads Philip K Dick or Asimov, you go and watch a movie but, say, Bradbury or Harlan Ellison will be printed because you cannot make a movie out of them. The same with music, if you cannot "improve" it by sticking plasma TV between the speakers, it will be preserved as-is.
my bad, I tend to overthink everything but its such a juicy question that I could not help myself... ;-)

@ghosthouse :   What about the tunes popular TODAY???!!! Yours is an answer of a scientist (whatdoweknow now), not an artist/dreamer (thatshowIseethefuture), you are my man!!! Point of constant/newer-ending arguments in my family: me a scientist,  my wife an artist (allois.com) ;-)  
Once todays trend of "total immersion" (sound/smell/emotions) will be achieved, who would go with "just music"? If you have your pleasure neurons caressed by 2066 reincarnation of Justin Bieber (I am being politically correct to Obama/gay thing movement here), then who would downgrade to "just music"?  Its like reading books nowadays, who does That!!??

what about Joanna Newsom? It will be funny to see her (and maybe Bon Iver) as icons for the nerds in 2066...

@ghosthouse : I was thrilled to discover Porcupine Tree because I just "knew" there Must be something similar to PF, like in the 90-ies (only then) I finally "discovered" Electronic Music of TD and KS, by listening to Pink Floyd..  First I just imagined the music, then, through Kitaro I found it! In another 50 years, its a good question how those kids are going to discover Sergeant or Gaucho? Definitely Not by listening to Top 30 ;-)

Come on, guys! Donald Trump is not even sworn yet and we already have a racial spin on music! 
Should this be the case then yes, we should start listening to "favorite Chinese instrumentals" and middle-eastern music before making any comments here. Or, should Putler gets it his way, to "Balalaika Favorites" ;-) 

@buellrider97 what do you think kids or 45yo will be discovering 50yrs from now?  Anything from today's Top 30?
Kanye West was hailed as a Mozart of the 21st century by The Atlantic... 

@czarivey and @oregonpapa :  methinks you are wrong, this "race" talk wont be an issue then. I am talking from my personal experience, my grandkids will be of Slavic+Mexican+Japanese descent... I am not a fan of Wagner (Puccini and Tchaikovsky is as far as I am comfy with Opera) but if I learn that Stalin (who exterminated my granddad's family) loved Brahms, I am not going to change my priorities in music!!!!!!  If Tchaikovsky wasn't gay in Mama Russia, he would have never produced his later symphonies, our moral codes of today will be totally forgotten 50yrs from now 

@buellrider97   I still remember my shock of realization the obvious when I read in Faulkner's The Mansion that the greatest Russian poet was a nigger per Southern standards. Pushkin is the only Russian poet who deserves the label of a Genius, his granddad was the famous Arap of Peter The Great. Tchaikovsky was "totally gay", so what? Most folks dont care even nowadays. On the other hand, I must admit that seeing ex-pornostar  as the First Lady bothers me a little. But in 50yrs all this will be irrelevant, methinks... Correction: I Hope!!!
