It's pretty difficult to call anything timeless, as the time art is
influential is as long as someone is listening to it. Will people be
listeneing to Coil in 100 years? I'd say that at least _someone_ will. Maybe
your grandchildren will venture into your basement after you die, play some
crazy vinyl that's long since collected dust and discover something they
love.
I think the question of greatness over time is an entirely different thing,
and in my opinion the only music from this century that will be remembered
and loved by (almost) all 200 years from now will be the Beatles.

>Kraftwerk, Pink Floyd, Brian Eno... i dont know, Coil.
In a perfect world, I would want Pink Floyd also, but I doubt their
popularity with the general populace will withstand the test of time. I
don't think Kraftwerk or Brian Eno are particularily adored by many people
right now, and it's only been 20 years. Not to say they aren't great, but
when we're talking timeless along the lines of Shakespear and Mozart, you
gotta be talking popular (or at least have recognition) too.
