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.

Yeah I was more talking about the future MBers than the average person. For the everyday person I'd assume some random pop artists.. but who knows! I definitely don't

No one knows. TBH it's usually some obscure band doing something a little bit different that will rise above the dross. I have seen very few names that inspire me to think that they will be talked about in 5 years time let alone 25. Let's be brutally honest. Arctic Monkeys released an album this year and who talks about that? (not my own opinion justs a statement)

I won't remember them in 25 years, despite how bad they were/are.

Don't even know if they're still making music..

Another band who started in the 90's but I'm going to have to agree with Sigur Ros. Call me crazy but I bet Lightning Bolt will garner much attention by then.

I definitely agree with all of these bands and I guarantee that Songs for the Deaf will be considered one of the quintessential 00s albums 25 years from now. I also think people people like Jay-Z and 50 Cent will loom even larger over this decade as well, unfortunately.

I listed ther reasons first, because if the band isn't remember 25 years from now I'm sure there will be some other band that will be remember for the same reason I mentioned above.

Fastest Selling Debut Album
The Artic Monkeys, they had the fastest selling debut album in the UK, and there are plenty of bands in the US and UK that sound like them now, whether this a good thing, that bands imitate them, only time will tell, I guess we have to wait 25 years to know for sure.
Mutlilingualism
The Brazilian Girls, they have a cool sound of melting pop and the singer, Sabina Sciubba, can sing in six different languages, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.
Intercontinetal, multi-genre bands
Extra Golden, it a band that blends Kenyan Benga music and Rock, with members from America and Kenya.
Franchising
Art Brut AB2035 will keep the torch burning for indie fans of Art Brut. The lyrics to Emily Kane will be changed to "35 years... 9 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 6 hours, 13 minutes."
Mama Mia, another Swedish Musical/Movie
The Hives following in the footsteps of their fellow countrymen/women, and will turn their songs into a musical and later turn the musical into a major motion picture. If The Hives don't do it, I'm sure there are plenty of Swedish Death Metal bands that will.
Geriatric Rock
Chicken Foot These Veteran Rockers will be rocking out well into their 90's.

Mastodon
Clutch(i'll be talking about them in 25 years at least

)
The Mars Volta
Muse
Kanye West, but sadly not for his music that was actually good
