I personally don't see anyone really standing out as timeless anymore. You could look at that and say, well...thats because we're not in the future yet. I see it happening for a different reason. Marketing and media has made it easier to twist peoples admirations for music and mold artists to what they think people want, look at pop music? Most BIG artists arn't appreciated for their musical talents but for how well they were marketed as an amazing act. The people who shine now are shinning for the wrong reasons and I think time will show that.

I think for me I need to look at individual artists and say "yea...this guy is going to go down in history". Artists like Trent Resnor, Maynard James Keenan, Kurt Cobain, Thom Yorke. They're all musician who really do or did something different and I think that will be appreciated for decades to come.
