  1. The real test is endurance. It's 54 years since the Beatles broke up and not only are their songs still played on the radio and their CDs and vinyl still sold, Lennon and McCartney's writing style is still studied by budding songwriters and the changes they made to contemporary music still endure. In 50 years time, the response to someone mentioning Taylor Swift (or Miley Cyrus, or Beyonce or Rihana etc etc) will be "Who?". Meanwhile, the Beatles (and Simon and Garfunkel, Queen, The Who, The Stones, Hendrix, Clapton, JJ Cale etc ) will still be played and still be influencing real musicians and writers long after they are all dead.
