Maybe changes in the style, production, and recording technology of popular music will just have moved too far past where you were for you to continue to be of interest to a modern audience, save when looking back to study past influences?
Production, style, recording; sure.
But the range of human emotions will not change. Even if their songs and recordings are only resurrected as artifacts for holidays, classics will endure and the creators will be remembered.
One last thought.... recording has become so simple that virtually anybody can produce music in a home studio. BUT they cannot create a better song than some of the iconic pieces mentioned in this thread. THAT takes that je ne sais quoi that most people do not have. Those that can, do. Those that cannot do covers.
