The things that will likely be most remembered, unfortunately, are the pop artists who actually stay around for more than one hit and are active in the tattered remains of the music industry. ex. Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, etc.

I think a lot of the lesser known or "indie famous" (like Animal Collective, that are hugely well known and hyped but unknown to the average music listener) bands that a lot of people on last.fm and forums and stuff listen to will be pushed a bit to the way side; waiting to be rediscovered by the Musicbanters of the future.
