What musical artists will be remembered in 85 years?

[dead0man]

Nominate one or two, I'll do a couple of rounds of polls if there is interest.


What musical artists/bands will still be talked about, listened to and remembered at the beginning of the next century?  I'll toss in the obvious top handful so nobody has to waste their pick(s) on the Beatles or Elvis.

Pre-nominated list:
Beatles
Elvis
Robert Johnson
Michael Jackson
Bob Dylan


My picks are:
The Who
The Ramones


(and man this is tough....I sat here thinking about whether to include Robert Zimmerman in the pre-nom list or not for 5 minutes.)

Robert Johnson is the Grandfather of all things that rock and or roll.

and I don't know (and I don't think I want to know) what Yeezus is.

Kanye West.

gross


and I'm realizing now that I didn't make it clear I only wanted people whose career was primarily in the 20th Century.

None, just as hardly any artists from 85 years ago are remembered now.  Heck, few artists from 50-60 years ago are remembered now.

Come on man, there are people mentioned in this thread that are from 85 years ago, and 50 years ago was 1966, are you telling me few people today remember artists from 1966?  Are you kidding me?  I can name dozens without trying and I'm not even a "music" guy.

is your username ironic?

That makes even less sense.
