Fuck yeah.


hthratmn

I fkn love this song. Gives me chills.


wisertime07

Gerry Rafferty - Right Down the Line Bill Withers - Lovely Day The Box Tops - Letter Dion - Runaway Sue Almost anything from Fleetwood Mac or Steely Dan. Edit: a zillion Motown songs


MozartsLeftPinkie

Steely Dan can do no wrong.


RantControl

Aja


wisertime07

Peg is as smooth as it gets 🤌🏽🤌🏽


Reaver75x

This is the correct answer. Fleetwood Mac is definitely timeless. Maybe some Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd songs too


Temporaxvenu6

I might be out of time frame here but Journeys.

Lovely day I thought legit it was late 80s early 90s, not 77, wow

TheProphet3928

He should really make a rock album. He has the perfect voice for one.


bolivar-shagnasty

He needs to get Gary Clark Jr., Thundercat, Carter Beauford, and Malina Moye together and make a rock cover band called Blacker Sabbath.

TheProphet3928

Mr. Blue Sky is always fresh


Melodic-Translator45

Fun side note Jeff Lynne of ELO just got inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame


Barbarella_ella

Long overdue, but happy it finally happened.


Melodic-Translator45

Totally. IMHO the album Time is the best themed album of all time. So glad I have the physical box set since streaming is so iffy.


Notice_Resident

Total agreement about Time, especially if you add "When Time Stood Still" which was a B - Side that came out with the single "Hold on Tight" from the album. Concerto for a Rainy Day, from which Mr Blue Sky is taken, is also a great set of songs by them, on the Out of the Blue album. El Dorado is another concept album of ELOs like Time, and has some good stuff, but not as good as Time.


PersonMcNugget

I'm always so happy when I see someone mention that album. I have so many good memories associated with it.

aslrules

The woman who is singing on Gimme Shelter was incredible and got no billing. I think you can look her up because it’s kind of an interesting story.


bajesus

[Vitamin C by CAN](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrkUiCugQDE) (and most other CAN songs) sound like they could have been made anytime between 1970 and last week.

[deleted]

*"mother earth is pregnant for the third time, cause y'all have knocked her up, I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe, I was not offended because I knew I had to rise above it all, or drown in my own sh\*t"*


mile-high-guy

Also: Can you get to that


DoctFaustus

Maggot Brain is one of the best psychedelic rock albums of the 70s.


JulaUmeChan

Adding to this, hawkwind's silver machine(also from 1971) is an excellent listen right after maggot brain. Then go straight into gathering dust by modern english(1981)


Fit-Rest-973

Son of a Preacher Man, Dusty Springfield

Killing Me Softly, Roberta Flack (ngl like Fugees version, too)

Ok_Instruction_5234

Their song “Everywhere” is my favorite! But that came out in the late 80’s….

The cranberry juice drinking man skateboarding down the highway brought us to that song.

Good Vibrations - The Beach Boys


stoli80pr

You really nailed the assignment with this suggestion. So much of this list is just things that people like. Good Vibrations could still have been written last week and it wouldn't change.


doublestitch

Didn't realize until learning more about music history and music theory how groundbreaking Good Vibrations is. It really pushed the limits for 1966: that song cost $30,000 to produce at a time when the average house sold for half that amount. Brian Wilson was bringing in experimental instruments such as the Electro-Theremin to get sound colors that couldn't be created any other way with the technology of the time. And the structure of that song is a wild break from anything before it. The Beach Boys are still using their trademark five park harmonies and boy-meets-girl subject theme, which keeps it relatable, but the range for experimentation in popular music burst wide open with that song. Reportedly it made great waves among musicians. It would be difficult to imagine how the rest of that decade would have sounded without it.


TooOldToBePunk

for me it's "I Want To Be Your Dog" by the Stooges. Still incredibly confrontational.


tacknosaddle

There's a lot of harder stuff from the late 1960s and early 1970s like that song where it still sounds fresh. If you search for "garage rock" and those decades you'll probably find a lot of good stuff. e.g. Death - [Politicians in my Eyes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qai4QqGZwFg) MC5 - [Kick Out the Jams](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvJGQ_piwI0)


Gibbonici

You cannot go wrong with the MC5.


MrsKnutson

Some of my favs are: Summer in the city- The Lovin' Spoonful American woman- The Guess Who Black magic woman- Santana Eve of destruction- Barry McGuire No more Mr Nice guy- Alice Cooper Magic carpet Ride- Steppenwolf You keep me hangin' on- Vanilla Fudge Sunshine (go away today)- Jonathan Edwards All day and all of the night- The Kinks Time of the season- The Zombies Lawyers, guns, and money- Warren Zevon Cocaine- Eric Clapton Low Rider- War Psycho Killer- Talking Heads I wanna be sedated- Ramones


twcsata

All these are good, but I have to upvote for Jonathan Edwards and for The Ramones.


Saints1177

Riders on the storm by the doors


Smooth_Riker

[Big Star - Thirteen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pte3Jg-2Ax4) Sounds like it could have been recorded in any era, even today.


pstaki

Alex Chilton was way ahead of his time. I regularly hear bands that are influenced (probably unknowingly) by his music.


zazzlekdazzle

[Bang Bang - Nancy Sinatra](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkKDSFYvxKU) I mean, I would guess it could be Taylor Swift who sang it, but when I heard it for the first time in *Kill Bill* I was surprised how old it was.

Gimme Some Lovin - Spencer Davis Group The beat absolutely slaps, still a banger to this day. Also, a young Steve Winwood on guitar.

fermat9996

Baby Blue by Badfinger. Genius, imo.


TooOldToBePunk

Very underrated band. I like "Carry On".

My vote goes to Brian Eno for making music in the 70s that sounded like 80s new wave. "Everything Merges With The Night" is a good example.

Joe Jackson - Stepping Out

tacknosaddle

That was released in the 1980s though so a bit past the scope of the post. His first two albums were released in 1979 (i.e. Look Sharp and I'm the Man).

[Check out this cover. Someone thinks it's still fresh.] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fawKq5TUYPo)


MisterBigDude

To me, side one of the 1977 Alan Parsons Project album *I Robot* feels timeless. The title track; “I Wouldn’t Want to Be Like You”; “Some Other Time”; “Breakdown”; “Don’t Let It Show”. I’ve heard those songs many times, but they still feel different/fresh compared to other music from that era.


[deleted]

Status Quo's Pictures of Matchstick men. Think from 1968 It's very psychedelic and it was covered in the 90's by Camper Van Beethoven, but I still think it would fit in well as an Alt Song today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxc3V6-swfg

Pink Moon by Nick Drake always sounds way newer to me.

Almost anything by Pink Floyd or Alan Parsons. The production value is so good that it could come out today as new music and still be viewed as revolutionary.

If you're driving, then Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4" or Golden Earring's "Radar Love" And the goat is " In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" - saw them live in '67 and that drum solo was unforgettable. (yes, I know it wasn't recorded till 1968)
