I too remember the Beetles in real time. My oldest sister went totally crazy as a fan for them.
While it seems that so many oldies are so good and will last forever... I'd like to point out that for every song from the 1970's - 1980's that you think is great; that there are at least 500 if not 1000 other songs that have been virtually totally forgotten about.
Really good music and songs last because they are really good, which is rare in any generation. How many other composers were there when Beethoven, Bach, etc. wrote their music. Hundreds. Who remembers them today.
I'm sure that a few of the current songs will be remembered in 50 years too.
IIN That I think today's music will be totally forgotten in the future?
