What bands/musicians do I think will stand the test of time? Excluding classic composers like Wagner, Bach, etc. Who are the musical geniuses of the 20th and 21st centuries that will be listened to in the 22nd century and beyond? According to me

Ftfy. I give up

Lots will be just be already big radio pushed bands. But others that just having an intense following:

Thrice (the hardcore scene, A band that can bridge gaps of screamo, rock, hardcore)
The Eagles (The tunes will be around forever)
Nirvana (grunge respectively)
Foo Fighters (best of alt rock)
Queens of the Stone Age (desert sessions included)
Daft Punk (electro)
Lupee Fiasco (hip hop)
Wu Tang & members & Eminem(rap)
Joe Bonamassa (blues)

Dont take it personally. Just expressing my opinion same as you.

[Pookieson]

actually, Kagey, re-reading his question im realizing he may be referring to 1900-present(that is indeed the 20/21st century). This changes the scope quite a lot...

in addition to the previous,

Led Zeppeling
Pink Floyd
The Doors
Credence
Queen
Eagles
Bob Marley
Jimi Hendrix
Santana

basically a who's who of the 60s and 70s. This time period truly produced some of the most amazing music that will come out of this century, and indeed centuries to come. I think we are honestly seeing the death of actual instruments, and the birth of the computerized music. Most studio albums are not even made by instruments in studios. Its one dude making all the music on a computer and mixing and layering it all with the lyrics of some down syndrome fucking CK wearing pussy Biebler bitch slapped on top to sell it. There will be no more Jimmy Pages, John Frusciantes, or Terry Reids. The generation of the autotune is upon us.

Richard D. James will probably be one of the few legends of our era that leaves behind a legacy and whose fame will only grow after he's dead. Not a huge fan of his music or persona, though I love the Selected Ambient Works series.

Arthur Rubinstein
Shawn Lane
Guthrie Govan

Not especially popular but the bests imo

[Hinthek]

Id emphatically agree with Tool, and zep, etc...great answers.

Ill be that guy who says Metallica. I know, i know...what have they given us lately, but remember man, they gave us Creeping Death, Call of Ktulu, Puppets, Harvester of Sorrow, and...One.

[leewong]

Ones I am 98% sure of:

Jimi Hendrix, Robert Johnson, Michael Jackson, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, the Beatles
