“Sousa and Scott Joplin are probably the two most enduring American composers of their time.”
Add Stephen Foster to that and I can agree. I think he was probably the most prolific and many of his >200 songs are recognized without anyone realizing their origin.

In junior high all the trombone players were big Chicago fans, because of 25 or 6 to 4. Nobody had ever heard anyone play 16th notes on a trombone before.

My kid sister was a 70’s rock girl. :-)
She was a HUGE Chicago fan. I remember going with her to one of their concerts (I think it was Madison Square Garden). They were excellent!
One of the 70’s bands I liked was Emerson Lake and Palmer. I went to one of their concerts (also at Madison Square Garden). They did “Pictures at an Exhibition”. I was blown away!

Keith Richards? The historians of the future will just knock on his door and ask him questions. That man will never die. Too pickled!

I rediscovered Pet Sounds a few years ago. Brian Wilson was a genius. It's a shame he was a casualty.

Neal Peart. Arguably, the best drummer out there.

Rock & Roll is already over.None of the “Music” will be remembered for itself. All that will be remembered is an act in an historical sense, and that will be the Beatles.

'70s and "sameness"?
Disco.
A lot of groups from that era look good by comparison, whether or not they actually were.
To: Biggirl
Want some fun. Get the Music to ‘Hello young Lovers’, and the lyrics to, ‘The times the are a changing”. Now sing the lyrics to the melody. Notice anything?

My humerous, esoteric question related only to the many deceased Spinal Tap drummers. Not real drummers.
