It's often said that most musicians/singers/bands these days don't have an ounce of the talent of yesterdays artists, often due to the increasing commercialism of the music seen placing increasing emphasis on attributes other than the music, however, there are still some undeniably talented acts around.

My question is, which of todays musicians do you think will still be going strong in 20 years time? My pick is Bruno Mars, the guy sweats talent and charisma

But will he still be going...or will he have retired and been tempted back into the limelight with a lucrative tour and album deal, as most artists are nowadays

Any musician that's in for the love of mucic, will still be there in 20 years knocking out tracks... Even if nobody's buying them!

It's in their blood, like Paul scholes still turns out for wed night five a side, there's just less folks watching these days

The only guy that's really struck me over the past 10 years or so as having any kind of talent and genuine charisma is Josh Ritter. The fact that hardly anyone will have heard of him tells me a lot about the state of modern music.
