{{cleanup|The "Rock, Rap, and other 20th- and 21st-century Pop styles" examples should be separated into more specific categories: Jazz, Folk, Rock, Rap, Metal, Pop

== Blues ==▼
* [[Robert Johnson]] was an obscure blues artist during the 1930s who was only known in his own state. The legend and mystery surrounding his life have helped him gaining notoriety and acclaim after his death. Today he is for most people the best-known blues singer of that period.▼
== Classical ==
Line 11 ⟶ 12:
* Another [[Classical Music]] example: One of [[Ludwig Van Beethoven|Beethoven's]] final works, the "Große Fuge" ("Great Fugue"), featured the sort of wild complexity and dissonance that would still be considered radical in the early 20th century, and at the time of its premiere in 1826, it was dismissed by critics and audiences as being completely unlistenable; fellow composer Louis Spohr (who was, at the time, as famous and well-regarded as Beethoven) described it as "indecipherable, uncorrected horror." It took more than a century for it to become widely regarded as a work of genius, though still quite "challenging" for most listeners.
* [[Igor Stravinsky]]'s ''[[The Rite of Spring]]'' caused a scandal in 1913 due to its loud, dissonant music. Today it's one of the most popular, important, influential and famous classical works of the 20th century.
== Country ==▼
* When Gram Parsons died in 1973, he was only known as a former member of [[The Byrds]] and The Flying Burrito Brothers who'd released a flop solo album. Gradually, people began to realize that he'd invented country-rock.▼
* [[Dwight Yoakam]] may have had critical acclaim and decent hit songs during his prime, but nobody really thought of him as anything legendary... Then in the late 2000s new country artists were popping up listing Yoakam as a key influence. He had a strong influence on Alternative Country and may very well have been the first artist of the genre. ''This Time'' and ''Buenas Noches From a Lonely Room'' are now regarded as classics.▼
== Opera ==
Line 19 ⟶ 24:
* [[Scott Joplin]], one of the greatest Ragtime composers. While he got some praise in the first decade of the 1900s, it would be in [[The Seventies]] when Joplin's work would hit the big time (thanks to the movie ''[[The Sting]]'') with his [[Signature Song|greatest tune]], "The Entertainer" becoming a top 10 pop hit and himself getting a posthumous Pulitzer prize among other major kudos. "The Entertainer" has become a [[Standard Snippet]].
** A particularly good example was his opera, ''Treemonisha''. It wasn't even performed in its entirety until 60 years after it was written.
