Is there anyone from the Rock and Roll/Rock era that you believe have a legacy that could compare to Mozart?

Bach, Beethoven..etc in 150 years from now?|||Elvis.





He's outsold the next 3 or 4 on the all time list combined.


He had important social and cultural effects on the 20th century.





There's only one King.|||If popularity is the measure then there is no question that any of the rock and roll legends were more popular. Music in Mozart's time was performed before rulers and close associates of the rulers. The music included dances, preludes, and suites. Moreover, the musicians made their living through a system of patronage. The patrons they performed for were wealthy, and sharing their music with the masses was not going to happen very soon. Some operas were performed for the middle class, but it was much later for the masses to have anything more in the way music than that which they heard in the churches. Today classical pieces written hundreds of years ago are performed and/or listened to by a select few. Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and their peers were not interested in performing for anyone that did not pay them handsomely. When sheet music became popular there were composers and musicians that began to become popular with the people.|||While the era of Rock and Roll had some fine music and particularly some exciting performers, I believe that even the most devoted fans of that era and the music they loved will soon fade from the scene. It is remarkable how many of the lesser artists, and even some of those more well know have already disappeared. There was a joke some years ago that grows more true with each passing years: "Do you mean to tell me that Paul McCartney was in another band before he put Wings together?"|||Elvis. No question about it. He is the KING, and always will be. When I was 10 (in 2005) I was listening to Elvis while all the other girls in my grade where listening to Brittany Spears or someone. But they all knew his name. They all knew who he was. And everyone always will.


I think Elton John, John Lennon and Bob Marley do too.|||In terms of musical quality, of course not.





It is like comparing greeting card verses and Shakespeare.





It is like comparing drawings on a lavatory wall and Michelangelo.





I appreciate rock music but I estimate it at its true worth.|||the King Elvis Presley, arguably the most photographed man of the History of Show

No matter what happens and as long as ppl live on Earth, Elvis will be remembered, BUT there never will be another ELVIS!!
