I was just sort of reinforcing the point about longevity with an obscure example. Salieri was as popular if not moreso than Mozart during their lives, but his music just didn't weather well. In the end, it was sort of mainstream and not innovative. So Salieri is to the 1780s what Nickelback may end up being to the 2000s.
