Will Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze one day be taught in music classes like Beethoven's Fifth is today. Will Metallica's Enter Sandman share the same fate for better or worst? I think only history can tell but basically yes.

Edit:Fixed Title

I'm sure most people will come to resent contemporary musicians in comparison to Mozart.

That's is the most confusing title I have ever seen, apart from on other parts of the internet *cough*4chan*cough*. It's so grammatically incorrect it hurts.

Welcome to the Escapist, on a side note.

You accidentally the verb and thus the syntax. Shame on you.

OT: Maybe very, very far in the future. After all, it's like 250 years since Mozart etc., so you've got to give it some time.

No, because who would want to listen to Metallica?

I may not be a fan of Mozart but at least I can appreciate the talent he had when I hear his music.

It depends really, Mozart music is stilled played because it's well good, if people didn't enjoy listening to it it wouldn't be played out of historical appreciation societies, yes some of the music from the last 100 or so years will be remembered for their contributions to music, but few if any will be granted the same scale as Mozart.

Never, Its like saying will the screen plays of today ever compare to shakespeare Or will anyone of todays cults be bigger than christianity.
Well if you think of Jazz, back in its day it was the wild, out of control genre that was going to ruin the kids. Today it's considered a highly artistic form of popular music bordering on what boring people call 'art music'.

I can certainly see parts of modern music living on, though like always 99% of the chaff will be lost and a few gems will survive the rigours of time.

More or less.

But, at that time, Mozart will be even more famous!

EDIT: Forgot once again...

Just don't go into the basement.

Can we stop telling them about the basement. If they go into a dark basement with no lights, then they're not the kind of people we want around here. Unless they get out. In which case, we shouldn't piss them off.

OT: I highly doubt it.

I don't think so..

As awesome as that would be, I think people just have an acquired taste for the oldest classical crap available.

I'm saying it in more of a "If you go in there you die" kind of way.

I'm always the one who gets to clean up the corpses, damnit!
Oh. If you find a liver, a pancreas, 3 kidneys, a few hands, and maybe a couple of ribs, could I get them? Igor, Igor and Igor would be most appreciative.

I think it's going to be split. People will study them, but it will be the same as they do nowadays. Mozart wrote a lot of music, hundreds of pieces, operas, operettas, piano solos, whole orchestra instrumentals. Basically, he had a masisve back catalogue, of which most people know Fur Elise.

Music buffs know more songs, but most people recognise the tune, but may not even know it was Mozart. This is probably the fate of rock musicians, people may still know the name Hendirx in 200 years, and they may also recognise the opening notes of Voodoo Chile, but they won't connect the two, and only dedicated music students will have any idea of other songs.

But at least that's better than current pop music (2000-2010), which in the future will be remembered as 'That generic period characterised most by synthesised drum beats and a absolute lack of talent and notability.'
