As someone pretty in tune with the music scene these days, I can safely say nobody listens to Clapton or the Stones anymore. The Beatles are still gods.
Of course, once you step outside of the music scene you'll find a lot of people than just listen to whatever the radio plays and don't have a clue about the Beatles. But the same can be said about the classical legends to an even larger extent.
