There are certain inevitable things about the future. We'll have flying cars, can't step outside without wearing a biosuit and robots will enslave us all. Obvious stuff.

But what about music? What music that we listen to now and in the past will still be listened to, in underground bunkers and shelters, when Skynet finally rise and crush us all?

NME compiled a readers poll and the results are both reassuring and depressing. For every nod towards the Beatles and Bowie, there are a few baffling, laughable entries and a few enraging omissions. Take a look;

Yay, Clash. Yay, Stones. But Laura Marling? Kanye West? No Prince? No MJ? Do fuck off.

I don't remember Laura Marling right now! Jesus Christ, it's hipster central up in there. People barely know The Stone Roses and The White Stripes were big for all of what, 3 years? Can't take any of this shit seriously. I mean, I love Fugazi and Husker Du, but I wouldn't put them on a lost of artists people are going to remember forever. People need to know who the fuck you are right now before future generations can remember you. Basically, any band who have 30 year old songs still in rotation on the radio is a candidate. Everything else is just some hipster jerking off or shooting in the dark.
