The Lady Gagas and Nickelbacks of the 70's were also around, but thankfully were forgotten. You are using the wrong standards for comparison here.

Which is exactly what I am trying to say. And no I am not comparing Lady Gaga to Zepp, your completely misinterpreting what I am saying.
I'm saying that the big hitters of today, forget about what genre they are, just look at the big artists of today, like or lump it the Nickelback's and the lady Gaga's are as big today, as the Zepp's and Hendrix's we're in their hayday, forget about comparing their music, because frankly that is a pointless comparison, what we are comparing is their popularity at the time of their peak fame. The peak of the popularity for the Nickelbacks and Lady Gaga's are comparable to that of the big artists of the 60's, 70's, 80's when they we're at the peak of their popularity etc.
So now that that is established let's look at what the thread is questioning:
"Which artists of our generation will still be talked about 25 years from now?"
What I am saying to that:
I don't think the big artists of OUR generation, will be remembered 25 years down the road because their music just isn't as interesting and unique as it's ancestors (the Zepp's, the Hendrix's, the Jeff Beck's etc) to be remembered.
I hope that you can understand I am agreeing with you lol.
