Future rock stars
Nov 29th the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame awards will be on HBO. Mick Jagger will sing "Gimme Shelter" backed by U2. Crosby Stills and Nash will sing "Mexico" with James Taylor. Bruce Springsteen will sing "Becasue the Night" with Patti Smith. Simon and Garfunkel will also perform.
I can't wait!!!! But it made me think about the future. Who will still be going strong 10 or 20 years from now and be the Mick Jaggers or the U2's years from now. When all these great artists are gone, who will take their place? Which artists of today will be the icons of tomorrow and be of the same calibur as the artists on this show? Hmmmmm......

That does sound like a nice show that I wouldn't mind seeing, but I decided I'd no longer pay the RR Hall of Fame any respect after they nominated Madonna, let alone elected her.
In fact I've been doing some work in Cleveland and have had plenty of opportunity to go there and spend the day but I just have no desire at all. She stinks, my life would've been so much better if I never had to hear ANY of her songs.
In answer to your question, since songwriting doesn't really matter in the real music biz anymore, whoever ends up in the Hall down the road will mostly all suck.

Good points, Scott and Larree but let's put aside that issue for a moment. I want to know who you think is destined for greatness or will the Golden Age of Rock die when all the present greats are gone? Is it possible that the problems with the music biz can eventually be resolved or is the party truly going to be over?

There are no future rock and roll stars.

Lee, you're a trendy suck, as evidenced by your Crooked Vultures blog. Jiminy, a band with Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones, you liked it before you heard it. Jones is older than any of us and Grohl showed up going on 20 years ago. You don't know Jack Bob.

I may be a trendy suck, but I liked it before I heard it because of Josh Homme.

I'm simply asking which young artists will still be still be successful 25 years from now and continue to evolve artstically, fulfilling their creative potiential. Who will be writing and and/or performing great music 15 -25 years from now regardless of what kind of music it is.
We're talking about the future (if there is one) Some feel rock can always make a comeback and maybe somebody will create a new form of musical style that rocks in a different way. Others feel that rock never died because it's still played and enjoyed by millions of people all over the world.
Something is only dead when ceases to exist, not when it's not as popular as it used to be.

"will the Golden Age of Rock die when all the present greats are gone?"
Hendrix will never get any better ... but then again ... does he really need to ?
Rock-N-Roll will never die ...

I distinctly remember my brother once saying that The Bay City Rollers were going to be the next Beatles. Shows you how much we know about the future of Rock n Roll.

Hmmmm... with no judgement, I would think Muse, Coldplay, The Killers (among others) have made starts to their careers that resemble U2, Queen, REM - but I think there's also as much cannon-fodder as there has been in any musical generation - thing is, we remember the greats from the past but gloss over the not-so-greats - so it is with the music of today - we see everything now but won't remember all of it.
And, as I reflect on the above paragraph, Muse are definitely cut from a different cloth.
Oh, and I should DEFINITELY mention Wilco - the more I hear of those guys (and Tweedy's solo work) the more I think they are going to be long-standing difference-makers in their own, and associate genres.

John Legend and John Mayer both have tremendous potential as far as solo acts are concerned. Don't forget the Beatles used to sing songs like "Do You Wanna Know a Secret" (doo-dah-doo) and they evolved. Mayer who sang "Your body is a wonderland" has been evolving too and is a monster guitarist. Legend can be the next Stevie Wonder. Wilco definitely has a shot at greatness.
As per Tom's comment about the Bay City Rollers - every young man who heard for the first time the Beatles wanted to be one. The Beatles set the bar and every band wanted to reach it including the Bay City Rollers and probably a lot of people on this website. Maybe it wasn't a realistic goal but it got a lot of folks into music who never would have done it not been for the Bealtes. The future is what you make of it.
