There aren't many (maybe 1 or 2) rock/roll acts that will have the shelf-life that Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin had and still have. Nickelback is not one of them.
You are apparently not noting the proliferation of stations playing "golden oldies", "golden country" and even one specializing in 80's songs . . . . . not to mention the re-birth of disco in a limited way.

People will not only remember, they'll seek out the music they favoured in a by-gone era.

Or to put it another way, Nickelback has a helluva better chance of achieving immortality than most of the other obscure, eclectic bands favoured by our snobby friends in this thread.
