Nah.

Name me 10 artists post 2001 that will still be listened to by high school kids in 2057.

Your moved goalposts are stupid and irrelevant.

What does this have to do with anything? The older population's nostalgia and reluctance to discover new music within the current time period doesn't actually mean those older groups were better just because they are still played all the bleeding time.

It doesn't mean they are worse either, but that kind of reasoning is plain silly.

**** this snobbery. Rolling Stone's top whatever lists are a great way to fill voids in your musical lexicon. I've gone through their lists many times making a point to learn about any names I'm not familiar with.

Those are all good bands to listen to. It seems like a lot of the stuff you like is in the transition phase of what I'm talking about. I like everyone of those bands and none of them seem particularly interested in pushing the envelope. Even the Lips' most experimental stuff feels mostly retro and they're one of my favorite bands of all time.

I'm gonna chuckle of you think high school kids are going to be listening to Zeppelin on any kind of wide scale in 2057.

But ja, not exactly relevant to the quality of music, especially given the way that the music world is evolving. I can name you ten 21st century artists that I consider among the greatest of all time though. Every decade has some at least, and ease in recording has made us very lucky that we can access so much music from the last 50 years.

Few pages back great post by Nea. Fisher makes many of the same points

Frown, Zep has already survived 40 years of time test so that's not exactly the point. I personally think their sound is very resilient to aging and may very well be a teenage rite of passage even 40 years on. Who knows what's going to fade and resurface and all that but take for example a song like Tangerine. I don't only see it lasting decades; I see it lasting centuries. Time will tell.

Please do. Your faves go straight on my playlists.

Zep will certainly have its place in the music world in 40 years, that's undeniable. I just don't think that it'll be to the extent where high school students listen to them in large numbers or are even conscious of them. Honestly, we might already be pretty close to that tipping point.
