Why would you need to 'inherit' a throne. Bands like this put down markers (unwittingly) for popular music and now that it's established and with the much more fickle markets of the last ten/twenty years most bands will not remain successful within the mainstream for so long and survive under such scrutiny. It's like saying who will inherit Pink Floyds throne etc

The only other person in popular music over the last 20 odd years who has created their own throne if you will is Michael Jackson who is generally regarded as the epitome of the successful solo Pop career.
