Which Modern Bands Do You Think Will be Recognised in 40 years as the likes of Beatles and Bob Dylan Are Now?

Hmmm, this is a very good question. If I personally had to pinpoint one group in particular that should be recognised, it would be Linkin Park. They have jumped tremendous heights in a very short period of time, influenced alot of people with their lyrics, and are just downright good musicians. I owe them alot because their overall essence is absolutely amazing. It must be a pleasure to know them. I am honored that such young men like themselves are indeed worthy of my attention. They've gotten a bad rap at times, but I say that's crap. They deserve better.

Radiohead\n8.) Stereophonics\n8.) The Police\n9.) Queen\n10.) Rolling Stones\n11.) Cream\n12.) Travis\n13.) Supergrass\n14.) The Blur \n\nVariety of both new and old British bands.

You have forgotten some of the very best.\nLemmy out of Motorhead and Roger Taylor from Queen, oh and Phill Collins.

The Beatles\n\nThe face of music wouldn't look anywhere near are great as it is because of these Liverpool boys.  Interesting fact: from the time of their first album to their last was only 7 years.  No other band in history can match theirs.

Their music bores me. It´s always the same, I honestly can´t tell the difference between one song and another. And yes it does, because they can never be as good as the Beatles, they actually experimented with different styles of music, unlike U2. And the beatles actually changed the way people dressed and acted, so many bands have followed in their footsteps, back then, almost everyone was doing what the Beatles did, and the fact that I can name a million bands from the eighties that sound nothing like U2 can tell you a lot.

I don't think there are any post-2000 bands good enough to possibly compare to the bands you mentioned.\n\nAnd Dream Theater and Queensryche both started over 20 years ago so I would hardly call them "modern".

Yes I am. I will be 32 this year and I have loved them since I was a young girl. I grew up listening to them-my dad was/is a Beatle fanatic. No other band will ever compare...

Bob Dylan by far. Lennon was good but Dylan is a musical genius. His songs aren't just songs, they are stories.

I think that all four beatles are behind the success of the band.\nOnce their split up , they were "maintained" on their earlier success.

Well I'm 20, nearly 21, but I'm going to put myself in the second group because 95% of the music I like is from pre-1990ish.\n\nI guess my favorite "new" bands would be the Foo Fighters, Matchbox 20, the Goo Goo Dolls... ? \nHowever, they wouldn't make my favorite bands of all time list, and they aren't even all that new. I can't think of any bands from the last few years that I can say I like. Everything on MTV or Top 40 radio sucks. All these emo bands sound exactly the same, all the so-called "punk" bands sound exactly the same...etc. And I won't even get started on rap or hip-hop.\n\n\nAs for which CURRENT artists will be revered in 25 years... I can't really think of any. There aren't any great artists anymore. It seems like most bands/singers now will release 2 or 3 songs, maybe a few more if they're lucky, and then you never hear from them again. Most artists that are popular now won't even be revered in 5 or 10 years, let alone 25.

It's not really fair to judge this decade's music just yet.  I thought the music of the 80s sucked during the 80s but now I mostly listen to 80s music on the radio.  \n\nIn 10-15 years, we'll probably appreciate this decade's music more than we do now.

Yes. They really didn't get into the LSD era until "Revolver" in 1965. Best Beatles album ever! Well, except for "Abbey Road".
