<<So what you are saying is it took Madonna over twenty years to achieve what the Beatles did in eight and in thirty or forty years the current generation will have been inspired and influenced to write similar songs to Like A Virgin or Holiday.>>
No. No more than kids today are writing songs influenced by "She Loves You" and "I Wanna Hold Your Hand". I'm saying kids 30 or 40 years from now will be influenced by something Madonna writes 10 years after her release of "4 Minutes".
I do however have a feeling that "Like A Virgin" will still strike a chord with teens 30 or 40 years from now. And maybe our society will have progressed sufficiently that folks will wonder why there was such a fuss over "Like A Prayer" in the same way we think the outcry over the Beatles haircuts and Elvis' hip gyrations was ludicrous.
Marty my home Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again!
