I’m not sure why people didn’t understand that I’m only talking about artists that haven’t released a new record in 30 years last. The last time I checked the Rolling Stones released a record last year. Same goes for a lot of the bands that people are saying in the comments.

[Ingens_Scherz]

I'll be 128 in 2100. I can't wait to see if Rick's predictions are right.

[boretti]

Thinking of music from 130-160 years ago that is still relevant. I come to Bizet - Carmen (1875), Wagner - Die Walküre (1870), Puccini - Madama Butterfly (1903) Brahms - Hongarian Dance #5 often used in ringtones (1859-1868)
Good music survives the ages.

Let’s not forget The Doors and Jimmie Hendrix Experience. As far as bands go, they didn’t last that long, but they were so innovative that their influence is still felt today… and will continue past the year 2100.

We’re still listening to Beethoven’s 5th symphony. Good music is timeless.

[robertsaul]

You're forgetting The Rolling Stones. They'll still be touring.

I'm amazed at how many reaction videos there are to Rush from so many younger people - who are then blown away by the greatness of their music. They will always be my fave.

[stanleyjohnmitchell]

That’s the wonderful thing about recorded music. If you capture a great performance then there it is forever. That performance lives every time you play it.

I love that George Harrison wrote the most popular /streamed Beatles song.
Thank God for George.

“If it was released today, I’d say ‘wow.’” I think that nails it. If the music still sounds fresh and alive, people will keep enjoying it, no matter how old it is. That’s why some music that’s 500 years old is still popular, and some music that came out last year has already been forgotten.

You forgot Metalheads. Metal fans will always exist and they respect their classics. Sabbath, Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Slayer etc will never be forgotten

[leevollrath]

I have thought for a long time that Pink Floyd’s works come closer to the great composers we associate with classical music. The songs are longer and flow from one the the next lending to live performances. There are bands that specialize in performing their music and I can see that continuing just like people go to a symphony.

When Rick mentioned that Kurt Cobain will always be 27, it made me realize that the one trait those four bands all share is a sense of "ending too soon." The Beatles were all still in their 20s and still the biggest band in the world when they called it quits. The Police were also young, and were at the peak of their popularity, with "Synchronicity" having been one of the biggest albums of 1983. Nirvana was obviously cut short by Cobain's death, as Rick mentioned.

Queen is the only one that seems a bit of an outlier, as they were in their 40s, they were 14 albums into their career, and they'd been around for 20 years by the time Freddie died. But Freddie's death was such a big deal, and he was such a giant presence, that his passing still felt like it brought the band's career to a close too early.

I've had this conversation with my wife and friends. These songs are 50-plus years old. I graduated high school in the mid-70's. I can't imagine listening to...or buying...music from 1923, 24, 25...50 years prior. The fact that music from the 1960's and 70's still is relevant today is pretty incredible.

[ToudaHell]

No one will ever sing like Freddie Mercury again. I've heard Bohemian Rapsody 30-40 times and I will never get tired of it. We Will Rock You still get my heart rate up whenever I hear it. Freddie Mercury will never die as long as we keep listening to his beautiful voice.

[alchristopher]

We'll just have to wait 'til 2100 and ask Keith Richards what's on his playlist.

[garymorris]

I will never forget seeing the Beatles in concert in 1965, and Ringo is coming to where I live this September, amazing.

[johnharrison]

Beatles, Zeppelin, Floyd, Talking Heads. All have songs that are timeless. I came home the other day to my son playing Beatles songs on the piano. Those songs came out 55 years ago and he has no connection to the cultural moment in which they were release, but he loves them because they are simply great songs. There are so many popular songs that will be forgotten, but these bands will last.

One more excellent post on your channel, Rick! I'm a new subscriber but I 've been following your interviews for a while now. Thank you for bringing Larry Carlton, Dominic Miller, Pat Metheny and so many other great musicians, particularly guitarists, into our living room in northeastern France! Merci et vive la vraie musique!
