What artists would you call timeless?

Post Reply New Topic

I would say The Beatles.

The Beatles broke up almost 50 years ago. People are still trying to determine who their "favorite Beatle" is----just like they did in 1964.

I think the 90s had some artists who still are on top of their games, unfortunately I'm embaressed to name them here though.

Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, Joe Pass.

I don't think I saw Picasso's name on the list yet.

Da Vinci
Shakespeare
Tolstoy

Hardly any.

I suppose Shakespeare for the fact that you can update him and the themes still work.

But that's messing about with it.

I still like a lot of 60s music but that doesn't mean it's timeless and in the 2500s it will feel dated. We're not that far from the 1960s, really.

Painter 'Jackson Pollock.'

The Beatles
Black Sabbath
Bob Dylan
Led Zeppelin
Metallica
Pink Floyd
The Rolling Stones

Those are just a few that come to mind.
