Please refrain form going off topic. I will lock this thread if it continues.

I think it's established that "Orphaned At Birth" is a troll anyway.

...As for old JSB, that type of 'music' sucks, it sucked back then, it sucks today, it will always suck, no great loss there.

 
Resonant Serpent, is that you? We've missed you, man.

Not JSB...Beethoven. I was fortunate to be able to attend the 200th birthday performance of his Missa Solemnis outdoors at the Carmel Mission in 1970. I wondered if there was any online record of that performance, and found this bit buried within a borked optical scan of an October, 1970 issue of a Tuscon, AZ newspaper.
 
Beethoven Music Festival Slated in Calif. City CARMEL, Calif. – In celebration of Ludwig van Beethoven’s bicentennial birthday, an outdoor festival of his music will be presented Oct. 17 at the historic Mission Basilica here. Seating is limited to 3,500 for the one-hour-forty-minute presentation of Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis, Opus 123, conducted-by Haymo Täuber, conductor and director of the Monterey County Symphony Orchestra. The concert will feature the 70-piece Monterey Symphony Orchestra and the 90-member Monterey Peninsula Choral Society, augmented by the Sacramento Chorale. Part of the Old Monterey 200th birthday celebration this year, the festival focuses attention on Carmel Mission Basilica, the beautiful stone church erected between 1793 and 1797 at the direction of Father Junipero Sena.
 
The conductor's wife was one of my German professors at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey. She got me EXCELLENT seats! The four soloists were fantastic. Täuber rebuilt the Vienna Boys Choir after WW II, and then built a boys choir for Iran, for which he was awarded their highest civilian honor. The guy was brilliant!

Which contemporary musicians do you think folks will still be listening to and playing 300 years from now?



An interesting subject to speculate upon.  I would bet money (not that either parties in the bet would be around to collect) that Ian Anderson with Jethro Tull will still be on people's playlists and the Rolling Stones will have been forgotten.  I'm unsure about The Beatle's - they are so highly revered today, but I'm really not sure how timeless their music really is.  When I consider what albums from "the golden age" I pull out when in the mood for that sort of thing, Ian Anderson probably gets the nod more than any other contender.

Not going to be an issue.  After WWIII, the survivors will be back to sticks and stones anyway.

I heard that guitar bands were on their way out.

I feel that this thread was totally hijacked, but that's OK. 
 
I feel that the sins of the OP have been overlooked - he posted a picture of D. Trump right next to N. Young, as if they were in the same room, on the same stage? I don't think Neil's gonna cotton to that. :)
 
I feel empathy for innocent victims of all nationalities and all religions.
 
And, 
 
Why did Beethoven hate his chickens?

 . . . because all they ever said was "BACH!  BACH!  BACH!"
 
 
 
serves you right.

So, they'll be playing Led Zeppelin?
