I'm sure arguing with you on that count is pointless
LZ sold a shitload of records, and thanks to that inspired imitators. But what was their influence outside the music industry?
Beatles changed fashion, hairstyles, filmmaking... Watch TV shows from the '60s and you will hear constant references to the Beatles. If you watch every prime time show from the '70s you might not hear five references to LZ. Hell even David Bowie was probably bigger in the culture than LZ, and he sold far fewer records.

Fun fact: Jimmy Page has a bastard son who grew up in NOLA

The answer is NO ONE. As always, there are plenty of acts that are popular now, but there are no young musicians at the moment that will be revered 30 years from now. All legendary pop/rock music was produced early in the artists' career, so I think it's a safe prediction. For example, Eric Clapton produced some decent music into middle age, but his legend is based on music from the 60s/70s.

I get sick of this "good musician" argument. The guys in the Lawrence Welk orchestra are good musicians -- do you want to listen to them?
Maybe?
Dave Matthews is not really a good argument for OP as they are about 20 years together as well.
That being said I could watch Matthews and the little guy play guitar for hours though. Tim Reynolds I believe.

I feel the age of pop music standing the test of time is almost dead. There are few exceptions.
But the reason why we hold the stones, Beatles, etc in such high regard is they turned "alternative" into "pop". And they praised for it. Deservedly so.
Now days, pop music is looked down upon bc of the emerging "hipster" mentality. And will be hard to have staying power.
But to answer your question, look towards the blues, rock and bands with "new" sound to be remembered. Blues has been a mainstay of longevity. Rock never dies. And "alternative" will always be hip.

They all have a shot. And I don't necessarily care for all those mentioned above. But them and the like have a shot.

I heard a version of "All Along The Watchtower" by either DM or John Mayer (I can't remember which). Whoever did it should get life in front of the firing squad for that crime alone.
Dave Matthews did that cover. I find it decent. Certainly not a Hendrix or Dylan level, but nothing that I think is awful either.
Is this what you are talking about?
I find DMB ok, I guess.
I think John Mayer is actually insanely talented. I wish he would stick to stuff like Continuum and the trio though. Even people that dislike Mayer enjoy the trio stuff. I think regardless of how you feel about the guy, he can play.

Daft Punk..due to DJing and collaborations of the best talents to be found, will still be able to produce like Giorgio, John Williams,etc..far into old age
Jack White..takes Robert Johnson/Jimmy Page-esque riffs yet with modern wizadry, coupled to heavy lyrics and great songwriting. Like a Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson,etc..just makes everything shine..be it Loretta, Raconteurs, White Stripes, solo,etc..
Adele..will go forth from two incredible youthful debuts to pick up the Diva mantle Babs carried for decades..has a soulfulness and depth to her that far outshines the likes of Celine Dion(who comes off poseur to me)
Alicia Keys..has got talent and sultry soul just oozing from her, is an original..is today's Aretha in that her songs just come at you and attack..has some of Diana Ross' sultry seduction (also love Norah Jones who makes this list too..classic timeless sound/music)
* 17 year old Lorde shows promise with her debut smash, and if her taste in music(in covering The Replacements 'Swinging Party') is any indicator..keep an eye on her rise
** Too bad Jeff Buckley is dead, he would've become a star by now. Too bad that Ron Sexsmith, Joseph Arthur, Josh Rouse, must wait a few decades more before the masses look back and give them their belated Westerbergian kudos. Too bad mostly only Brits and Aussies fully appreciate Neil Finn's talents.

Derek Trucks
The Black Keys (especially their early work)
Jason Isbell
John Moreland has the potential to be a modern Townes Van Zandt but he needs a few more solid albums first before he earns that label.
John Mayer
Gary Clark Jr.
Daft Punk
A part of me says that Justin Townes Earle will get to that level but another part if me says that if he doesn't done I yet he probably won't. I do believe that he will hold a moderately sized following for a very long time though.
But no one will ever match the legends of people like Elvis, The Beatles, Zeppelin, The Stones, The Doors etc etc.
The music industry just isn't set up that way anymore.

Those groups and artists also didn't have near as much competition. I agree, the industry isn't set up like it was back then.
I could see a few pop stars being the next Madonna type. Lady gaga and beyonce for example.

I thought a little more on this, and I think that it will most certainly be the Foo Fighters...Dave Grohl will probably perform until he dies. They are a huge commercial success on the radio, and people tend to not be polarized about them. No one that I've met really "hates" Foo Fighters.
I think they will be like a Stones, and play their hits late into their careers

I get what you are saying to some degree and I do think The Beatles certainly had more influence, but don't downplay LZ influence. Hairstyle, look at the 80's metal, grunge, the outfits. LZ definitely still resonates.

One interesting to me you have to consider is Amy Winehouse, I believe this age because of all her shenanigans and troubles before she passed cloud today's generation of fair judgement.
I agree on Timberlake
I also think people will look back to the vast range of music Pharrell made and effected and he will be a legend in music for other generations
