The thing is, when you throw the word radio into the mix, you are only referring to the mainstream music. In twenty years, the "classics" will be the music that's in all the hearts of pre-teen girls today. Lady Gaga and Katy Perry will be what the eighty's had in Cindy Lauper. The classic rock will probably be bands like Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Seether, Kings Of Leon... etc., basicly the rock bands that are hard enough to NOT be mainstream, yet not stray too far. I honestly don't like what the 00's had to offer in MAINSTREAM music, but the rock, alternative, indie, punk, and folk that it offered was actually outstanding. I think people need to look at the big picture rather than the rather $h!tty small picture that the "mainstream" had to offer.
