Ageless Music?

Music of the great composers like Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Handel have survived centuries. The greatness of their compositions cannot be denied by anyone. Some have been attributed to having healing powers as well.

I was just wondering what you Agoners think about great music of today or just yesterday from likes of Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Lennon/McCartney, Pink Floyd and many other greats will survive a couple of centuries or beyond?

What really makes certain music to be termed as ageless?

Scot Joplin's ragtime will still be enjoyed a hundred years from now.

Leroy Anderson combined popular music with classical values in a way that is unique. Many people are (were) familiar with Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops, but the secret is that all the arrangements were done by Anderson, while Fiedler basked in the glory.

Sousa's contribution will last (but that is going back a few years).
