Reply to Will any of the current artists still be idolised 50+ years from now similarly to how people still adore The Beatles, Elvis Presley etc..? by BlacksmithGullible90

Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West (maybe), Tyler the Creator, The Weeknd, Frank Ocean, etc. are all iconic, great artists that seem to have that status right now. But I think with the way music is consumed and just how many scenes there are, it’s hard to say definitively without looking back. I could see people like Weyes Blood, Black Midi, or King Gizzard getting that status but I can’t say for certain.

Edit: literally why the fuck did I get downvoted for this LMAO

Some of the songs definitely stand on their own, in my opinion. But their fame early on definitely made people more likely to hear their work. So, I don't think it is very easy to separate the phenomena of fame from their longevity as songwriters. I do have a,lot of respect for Paul McCartney, when I was younger everyone seemed to attribute the best songs to John Lennon, im.not so sure about that any more.

Someone should make a movie about this. Sounds like a brilliant plot.

Reply to Making my spouse a mixtape!! by DandyfelloxX

Upbeat 80's love songs?

"When I Think Of You" by Janet Jackson

"Just Like Heaven" by The Cure

"True" by Spandau Ballet

"Oh Sherrie" by Steve Perry

. . .

As was mentioned in other comments, it's not what you think they would want to hear, so much as that the songs you like, that make you think of them. That will make more of an impact.

Good luck, and please let us know how they receive the mixtape.
