Under socialism people will have bugger-all work to do (and if anyone with other ideas is organizing the revolution, count me out). Given enough free time and a secure livelihood for once, people who are great musos will perform publicly for nothing, because performance is an expression of their nature. To think that we actually have to pay talented people to do what they enjoy shows the extent to which we've bought into the current dominant degraded view of human nature and capacity.
Consider it this way - you've all seen great bands playing down at the pub on a Saturday night. A lot of these people are essentially amateurs with other day jobs. They play because they love it. And on Monday it's back to driving the laundry van.
Of course we would have to do without high-quality musical satire a la the Dead Kennedys, simply because targets would be lacking. No landlords to lynch, no poor to kill, and no holidays in Cambodia.
On the plus side, no Backstreet Boys and so forth.
