they stand out from their eras and would sound fresh utterly shite and irritating even today
Couldn't help myself. I really should stay away from music threads

I think people are confusing stuff they like and causes them to reminise, or even old stuff they have discovered, with stuff that sounds fresh.
You clearly have no idea what is down with the kids these days. Its certainly not the Stranglers, Thin Lizzy or the Stereo MC's!

What's down with the kids is factory farmed RnB.

Is there actually anything specific that is "down with the kids"? Apart from chart music, there is such variety out there.

Really? Then how come I regularly see teenagers wearing Thin Lizzy, Ramones and Led Zeppelin tee shirts?
Do you go to see live bands? The likes of The Smoke Fairies, The Joy Formidable, Cerys Matthews, Howling Bells, attract loads of teenagers, as well as people like me, in their 50's, who still find more quality music around every day than they can afford to buy. So far recently I've got Mechanical Bride's new album, new album and EP by Gemma Hayes, and new albums by The Dears, Wye Oak, Cerys Matthews, Kate Bush, The Submarines, Foo Fighters, Anna Calvi, Emmylou Harris, and there's still Likki Li's album, and Emmy The Great, Paul Simon and The Pierces albums to get. I'd bet that there would be very significant numbers of audience members under twenty at most of those gigs.
I'm sure that lots of teens and early twenties will be surrounding me in Hyde Park on the 30th for The Vaccines, Beirut, Mumford and Son and Arcade Fire. Just because some middle age bloke at the BBC thinks that Radio One is representative of the only music teenagers listen to doesn't make it a fact; my experience at actual gigs proves that.Posted 11 months ago # -

I was in the lab at work the other day when 'Love will tear us apart' came on and I told the students / youngsters that work in there to be quiet and listen as it was one of the best songs ever.
Half of them didn't even know who it was...... there's surely no way that song is 30+ years old?

Oscillations by The Silver Apples. Unbelievably released in the 1960's.

I agree with 'who knows where the time goes' just listened to it yesterday as it happens. Still one of the most beautiful songs ever written, IMHO.
What about 'All or nothing'? No1 in 1966, still would make a fab pop song.
Virtually all of Joni Mitchell's songs still stand up today, as do Leonard Cohen's.
