12 Extremely Disappointing Facts About Popular Mus

Silly,classical music is the highest acheivement of the wetern world,there are a hundred great composers with a high level of popularity among those with the taste and refinement to listen to same.Even allmighty Bach has no real populsr popularity.
I suspect(strongely) there were be NO current acts even known a hundred much less three hundred years from now.
Popular music is utter garbage plain and simple.

'classical music is the highest acheivement of the wetern world'

Or any other world!! It conquers everyhere it goes. Witness all the asian artist.

The test of time can be misleading. Historical happenstance, political/economics and cultural nationalism have as much an influence over what art survives hundreds of years as the quality of the art.

Classical music - the highest achievement in western history? Very debatable, at best. My short list of higher ranking achievements:

collected works of Wm. Shakespeare
theory of natural selection
men landing on the moon/Voyager 1 & 2
"Moby Dick"
KAJ's skyhook
the Allied victory over the Axis
Albert Einstein

You left off the most important non-musical event:

Magna Carta

This is the only one I put above music.

Rja, I'd say the same for string quartettes or quintets, but would doubt about chamber music that often needs a professional orchestration.
