This, [url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01ng2qz ]Earworms[/url] on Radio 4, was excellent the other week.
Well worth a pop. 🙂
Willard, yes it has!
western music is mostly based around chord progressions that sound nice to our ears like DGA (tonic, sub dom, and dominant chords) and scales. Rock/pop/folk sound familiar because they are literally the same
to take that further most western music is based on a series of artificially altered tones that we have been exposed to for so long that it sounds 'normal' to us

Which is why traditional indian, japanese, chinese music sounds 'a bit weird' with microtonal intervals but is in fact much closer to being 'in key'
But its ok if you're Beyonce because if you yodal randomly you'll be in tune with everyones ears for some of the time

Too much chat and not enough Vids fellas..
If it makes your feet tap and you remember where you were when you first heard it..Post it.

Its the only thing I have to contribute as DezB will be all over me if I post about music he doesn't like 😀
From surroundedbyholes:
Good call 🙂

I'd never do that dearest 😉
Could release this tomorrow and say it's by the Prodigy or Pendulum and da yoof would love it.
I'm gonna post this again cos it's ace.
Are people deliberately posting stuff they think nobody else will have heard of. Of the YouTubes I can only hum two from memory so far.
still sounds bloomin great and makes me get my goth on 😆
Good call Tazzy. This was on 6 music before and still sounds great...
and while we're on the subject of the ginger nut-job
😀
strange how a most of the stuff that has aged well, wouldn't even get a record deal today as it's not bland auto tuned muck.
This lot still sound fresh to me too:
Night crawlers... Hahaha
IMO, I love some of the songs listed so far, and I am not an Elvis fan, but it takes a story to really stand the test of time.
Written in 1677:
How many of these are good tunes/songs and how many of these are good recordings?
Before recorded music a song had to be good song as it was distributed on paper and the first time many people would here it was when they played it themselves. Now we distribute songs as recorded performances
Roman Mars' show makes a good point [url= http://99percentinvisible.org/post/25099083612/episode-56-frozen-music ]here[/url] that a lot of popular music is principally about recordings and performances, not about songs and tunes.
The measure of a good tune is whether you can get a good cover version so its suggested that Led Zep performances and recordings are great but their tunes aren't - thats why Led Zep cover versions are crap. Conversely you can't play Nirvana's Lithium and make it sound bad because the song is so good
Just scrapes into the 15 year window
Album one, track one, riff one:
Almost 20 years later and Trivium are making a good living out of doing second rate copies of this.
Some great tunes, but most still sound ancient. The punk ones specially

Really?
The first rock album I ever listened to, opened with this:
Still find it hard to think of it dating from 1969
You want classic? Well aged? Have some golden brown...
Thinking about it, how can a song ever really go out of fashion? With remixing, even mediocre songs can be re-made into hits in the current age, let alone re-mixing it for future generations. We;ve had Elvis vs. JXL (which was good), why not Fat Boy Slim vs. Puccini? Chemical brothers and Mahler?
Wow, Dummy was 1994!
These came up on shuffle while I was riding home this evening. We played this a lot on our honeymoon!
1986.
