I like to subscribe to the theory that the "timeless" music du jour is
that which represents the belief system of the dominant social class of
the time. All of which means is that the whole "Beatles are the only band
that matters" will die out when the boomers do. In this day and age,
culture in general has been so degraded and cannibalistic that it's pretty
difficult to imagine what it'll be like in twenty years, much less two
hundred. If I had to venture a guess, R&B is the only viable pop music
with legs right now.
