We still remember Bach. Over time rock’n’roll will be remembered as a guitar centered musical movement defined by the contributions of Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, and Sonic Youth.
Second half 20th C pop music will obviously be defined by the Beatles. 200 years from now knowing more than that will only be for people with very extensive knowledge of music history.
