Been posting all kinds of serious and borderline inflammatory stuff recently, so heres something boring and not at all controversial. Who will the music historians of the future remember from our era? Who will be the Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven of the 1960s-2010s? If you think its weird for me to be bunching up fifty years of music like that, Id like to point out that 142 years passed between the birth of Bach and the death of Beethoven, yet we today lump them all in the same overarching genre of Western Classical. Similarly, I expect future generations will find little to no difference between The Beatles and Tame Impala and would naturally assume they were contemporaries. But coming back to the question at hand, I believe the musicians who will posthumously end up being the flag-bearers of our era of human history are not The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, or even my own beloved Radiohead. No, I think the most significant musicians of our era have been Kraftwerk. They may not have been the best, but they changed music forever. https://youtube/watch?v=VXa9tXcMhXQ
