I believe that to find some backwards echo from the future one might look to the prolific artists rather than the temporally localized fame that we attribute to good bands.

So I would look to singer/songwriters like John Darnielle or others with a huge catalog to survive the test of time. Not that I expect others to find his actual musicality timeless but rather the mass of the catalog helps against the worms going in and the worms going out.
