Early punk violinist/composer....
Associated with devil worship if I remember correctly.....
I don't think it'll be just one musician being remembered for rock and roll, any more than it's just one musician remembered for classical music from long ago. Bach, Mozart, Brahms ... Beethoven ...
If it were just one musician, it might be the guy who lit the fuse for all the rock guitar acts that followed. Here he is striking the match!

Spinal Tap. Aliens will find the movie and will search for Stonehenge
And when they find SH, they will be amazed by the massive and unexpected size of it!
It's 18" tall according to the sacred napkin document of Tufnel and legend dictates it was once in danger of being trod upon by a dwarf.
The aliens will be confused.
I say Bowie will be remembered that far in the future. Hell, his music will probably be more popular then than it is now

Unrelated, I looked at the Spotify top 50 USA and top 50 global. All hip hop and fake R&B. So sad.

Not sure about that. While I don't think the US has a lot of "world music" or music popular in other countries compared to say the UK, I am surprised about what other countries make a point to listen to regularly. A friend of mine, a transplanted Liberian, upon noticing my Allman Brother's shirt, made a comment and was surprised to find out that apparently they are big over in Liberia. Was told me US music made up a good portion of the radio's playlist. Could have knocked me down with a feather.
Well...for SURE Fela Kuti...as far as China? I know "Rock'n'Roll" is frowned upon in general, but I'm certain there IS somebody they regard as a true REBEL. During the Soviet Era, many bands played and recorded that I had never heard of until our singer married and lived in Russia. THAT stuff was quite odd to my ear, but he said one band(and sorry, their name escapes me) was on a par with Nirvana in that same time-frame. I'm STILL in the ZAPPA camp, no matter what...that stuff is BEYOND~Who would you regard as Chinese or African "Rock Stars"?....
I was in college 10years ago and I had an music history class. For the years 1900 to 2000 it was mostly about the various Jazz and in the same time classical music because if you look at it, Free Jazz and Dodecaphonism/Serialism pretty much started at the same time. But after the years 1960 it was pretty much like ... ok from here music changed with fashion and political view.
Frank Zappa was the only one cited for anything outside of Jazz and Classical music ... then we went back to classical music with modern composer
So I doubt they will talk about any rock artist ... they will probably talk about the various genre of music but dismiss it as mainstream and with no more value than McDonalds... well that is in a classical music college maybe in a pop music place it will be different.
I'm sure in class they will talk about Chick Corea and still talk about Frank Zappa but this is pretty much it.

Yeah, but let's be realistic........Classical music is one GIANT F'ING cover band, and they don't even play the stuff on instruments that are correct era! I don't mean old instruments, I mean instruments that were popular but hadn't had their range set in stone, some are wildly different now, compared to then. Heck the current conductors on't even respect the nuanced number of instrument the pieces were written for originally.
Don't get me wrong but Zappa diagnosed the problem years ago. Very few can name a current era classical composer. Most of the set lists for a symphony are limited to about 100 tunes with little or no new music as the orchestras are afraid to introduce new composers to an audience that shows little interest, hence, Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and the rest of the Golden Oldies.
Sort of pity symphonies as they now aspire to playing a particular piece like some other orchestra that did a version that was memorable as opposed to authentic.
Imagine 100 years from now someone preferring ABC's version of Abbey Road over XYZ's rendition and somehow the version done by George, Paul, John, Ringo.
John Cage and Philip Glass are played but ... you know, it isn't easy listening like say Mozart ... You need to be more aware of what is going on to appreciate them.
Not so long ago I went to hear a small orchestra play some Lasse Thoresen, Kaija Saariaho and Linda Catlin Smith
You know what, The Crucible gets used to teach the Salem Witch Trials so much, that for most people's awareness that play IS the Salem Witch Trials. Given that, I see no reason why Spinal Tap shouldn't be the way Rock and Roll gets taught to future history classes.
