Not trying to discredit LZ, but I have a hard time believing that their music will still be discussed in 20 years, where The Beatles will go down in the history books as game-changers - and will be talked about in the same circles as the all-time greats for the next 50, 100 or more.
We still talk about Mozart, Beethoven, etc CENTURIES after their work was introduced. I think the Beatles will be the same.

I think it would be an interesting exercise to try and develop a taxonomy of music that identifies the major branches in styles that have occurred over the years.
I think I'd probably disagree with you about Zeppelin in the sense that they would be one of those bands that started a "branch." They were arguably the band that started the heavy metal genre, so they will be important for a while in that sense.
