The idea that anyone but music historians are going to have heard of most of the stuff I listen to 30 years from now is laughable.

30 years from now, they will still be playing Clapton! Now that's timeless!

I like a lot of the music posted in this thread like the Kooks, the Killers, Arcade Fire, 30 seconds to mars, the Decemberists etc.

I don't imagine most of it will be relevant in 30 years though. They'll still have fans but no sort of wide appeal. The classics will always be the classics. The 60s and 70s rock scene will forever be classic rock and have a significant following as a genre. Elvis, Bob Dylan and the Beatles will be heard of for decades to come.
