I can do some great recall and associations when Holly comes on the oldies stations. My subjective take on him is that he is an era play. If I'm in that frame of mind, I put him up top, but his is not one of the bands that hits me from a distance without getting back into the period. In other words, the Holly sound has to be played within the context of a bunch of other Fifties songs in order for me to appreciate it, as opposed to listening to some Chicago Transit Authority or some Jimi Hendrix Experience... which always sound as fresh and profound to me as the day they first aired. I don't think that mr mojo risin [Jim Morrison] only became popular due to his death, btw. There have been several revivals of the Doors by two different generations since his demise. I think that their sound will continue to be associated with Nam, some of the beauty and the macabre of the late Sixties, some drug-related recollections by many, similar to how Jimi and Janice are remembered, and with situations surrounding emotional strife and "the devil could care less" outlook resulting from all of the above, for a long time to come. With regard to the Doors, in other words, there are plenty more Strange Scenes Inside the Gold Mine, and this is by no means The End.
