Absolutely, Alan. There's a lot of stuff from the 60s through to the present day that will be iconic songs for new generations for a long time to come. "Disappearing without trace" is most unlikely.....some people here sound a bit like many of my local contemporaries, who seemed to stop listening to new music sometime after their 29th birthdays, and now constantly hark back to "how much better it was in their day" (or before) and how "everything today is rubbish/ sounds the same"....pretty much what my parents used to come out with in the 60s!.

I play versions of Arcade fire's "Intervention", British Sea Power's "Canvey Island" and Bon Iver's "Flume" at open mics, and the youngsters there are often very surprised that someone pushing 60 has even heard of the bands, never mind likes to cover their songs..... while at the same time those youngsters are themselves covering songs like "Hotel California", "White Rabbit", "Wish You Were Here" and "Wild Wood"...OK, Wild Wood's only 20 years old, but the others are over 40 years old, and going strong.
