Maybe I'm wrong, but I really can't see any of these "new" music/pop stars who has the ability to transcend generations the way those three, and others like them, did. I mean, we're still talking about Jeff Beck here, and surely that's an indication of someone who will still be findly remembered maybe 20, 30 or 40 years from now. Can you name anyone from the last ten/twenty years who will also be remembered as fondly?

I'm, what, 10-15 years younger than you and Jeff Beck is a person I'm aware of but have paid very little attention to. I don't think that's unusual for people in my age group and I assume people younger than me are even less familiar with him. So, yes, I'm confident that there are a bunch of current musicians who will be remembered as fondly as he was.

OK maybe that third one is not so impressive but two out of three ain't bad.

Robbie Bachman - RIP

Believe it not, when Not Fragile came out in 1974 it was considered heavy as all ****.

I dunno about that but Not Fragile is a lot of fun, solid boogie rock through and through.
