Too many to list really. 

 

There are the geniuses like Einstein, Hawking, Marie Curie, Von Braun etc.

 

Then there's the genocidal maniacs like Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, Netanyahu etc..

 

Cunts like Thatcher, Pinochet, Ceausescu won't be forgotten. 

 

Most of the famous actors will be, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks and those of their stature. 

 

For music - The Beatles and Stones obviously. Maybe the likes of Nirvana, Metallica, Radiohead. Artists like Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Little Richard, etc.. 

 

And Dave Usher

It could be that, as time passes, people with zero, limited, or even a good degree of fame/notoriety now, become stratospherically so, as their actions during their lifetimes play out with ever increasing consequences. 
 

For some it might take centuries, but who’s to say our descendants living in some kind of post apocalyptic existence, won’t put the blame for their predicament at the feet of Tim Berners Lee.

 

Well, either him or Noel Edmonds.

Be great in a thousand years if they are still talking about him, like he's some Hercules type character.

 

He'll still be getting on and off buses and trains around the north west with his carrier bag in 1000 years.
