List of albums that will still be popular 50 years from now...

We all know that classical music will still be on demand 50 years from now, but what about pop music that will still be on demand?
I'd like to list few titles and the rest leave to the contributors!

1. Henry Mancini "Pink Panther" as the best score he's ever wrote
2. Sesame Street "Born To Add"
3. Believe it or not, Michael Jackson's "Thriller" will still be there and hot!
4. Miles Davis "Kind of Blue
5. Dave Brubeck "Time Out"

A genre not mentioned here is show music. As a result due in part to revivals after revivals, musicals such as:

South Pacific
Oklahoma
My Fair Lady
West Side Story

...and so many more will be appreciated far into the future.

Not sure of My Fair Lady or Oklahoma, but more likely 

Fantom of The Opera
Sound of Music
Lion King
Fidler On The Roof.

The Beatles will be known for their hit singles, same as Elvis. But albums? Too spotty imo, especially after Revolver, their last real good one.

Never has a receiver, Realistic or otherwise. I went straight from a Fisher X100 tube integrated to Mac separates, and then to ARC.

"Popular"?

Well, the popular music of today will still be played in 50 years. But the 50-year-old music we listen to now will be no more popular than 1910-20's music was 50 years ago. By that time, there will be two newer generations with totally different tastes. Considering today's popular, ahem ... artists, that's a scary thought, but history shows that each generation moves on.
