Difference of opinion, but I call shenanigans on your statement, Rod.
"The Rain Song" by Led Zeppelin, and "In My Life" by The Beatles blow Satisfaction out of the water.

All these bands are timeless. There will always be a sector of the public who likes the music. Whatever the next generation of hipsters will be, they'll probably be into 60s Bri'ish Invasion Rock.

Bibgo Boyd. The way music is purchased these days very few consumers actually spin the entire disc. They buy the song or songs they like and add them to their
collection. Like those bad cds they promote on TV before the holidays where you can buy the top hitz of 2015 all on one disc!



The same big groups that have made it the last 30-40 years will still be around in another 20 years. Maybe not quite as relevant but there will still be fans
and stations playing the tunes. Will Taylor Swift and Mumford and Sons still be relevant? Less likely but who knows.

Probably, or someone similar to them.

Outside of the 80s, it's pretty easy to find artists that were proven to be timeless. That's mostly because everyone seems to hate disco though. You just have to wait for the hindsight to know what music still resonates and what doesn't. For instance, the 90s had Nirvana and Michael Jackson for sure.

It's also somewhat skewed by the segmentation of music. Are biggie and Tupac timeless already? Is Eminem? They are if you like rap. If you don't, then not so much. What about the Beastie Boys? Then you add in country music

To put it another way, the best artists of every generation make good enough music to be considered timeless. I doubt the Mumford and Sons fans are going to suddenly say "They suck, I'm switching to the Rolling Stones now".

Although not everyone's favorite I would toss Pearl Jam into the mix as a 90s band that will likely persevere over time with a handful of their hit songs.

I guess I really should have included Michael Jackson in the 80s instead.

Michael Jackson's big three albums were '79, '82, and '87. He was already on the back nine by the '90s.

I'd say Pearl Jam and Dave Matthews Band for the '90s, but they're almost at some weird Dead/Phish stage where they have their traveling taping obsessives but everyone else just likes the same three or four songs everyone knows.

And the Foo Fighters are timeless! Just ask Dave Grohl.

Please do not put Pearl Jam in the same category as the Stones or Zeppelin...ridiculous.
Exile on Main st is a great album..you might want to listen again.

_________________

In the 90's Pearl Jam was one of the bands that defined that era and some of their music will live on 20 years from now. I don't think anyone was trying to compare them
to Zep or the Stones, but they were certainly more relevant than them in the 1990s. I thought we were talking about music that will endure not best bands of all time.

Meh, I like Sticky Fingers better than Exile on Main Street, which is long and kind of boring. Overall, I just don't get this band and never will. It's my biggest blind spot and I'm fine with that at this point.

_________________

The problem with Exile is that it could use some editing. It would be a better record if it were only three side and probably the best Stones album if it was properly trimmed down to a single disc. Sticky Fingers is the better record, but Beggar's Banquet is probably their best.

What is it you don't get about the Stones? They're British art students paying homage to the old black American men whose music captured their hearts and minds. At least they give the old guys credit, unlike Zeppelin.

I know what they are, but the music doesn't click with me. Sonically, their music always feels very thin and tinny to me. There's not enough low end or richness to their sound, a problem I've never noticed myself having with Zeppelin or the Beatles, or Pink Floyd, or the Who, or any number of canon bands. It's really just the Stones who are so...yelpy to me. ("Gimme Shelter," of course, being an obvious exception to this.)

I have a weird thing about low-range frequencies, I've noticed. It's the same reason I abhor metal and Celtic folk.

_________________

Yeah, I guess I understand what you mean about the Stones sounding more mid-rangy than those other bands.

There's a definite low-fi quality to a lot of their work that I like. To me, Zeppelin sounds like Page sat in a studio for a million hours just overdubbing and overdubbing (which he probably did). I'm not looking for perfection in my rock and roll. I like bands that sound loose like the Faces.

Rocks Off is one of my favorite album openers of all time.

any thoughts on the miami bass scene?

Is that like drum-and-bass? I feel the appeal there. But yeah, this phenomenon also explains why I like Boards of Canada so much.

Speaking of being all about that bass, can we agree that the Clash will last the test of time?

_________________

That album is stacked, top to bottom and front to back. Has a nice do dingey, rough sound to it. No coincidence that Mike Taylor was in the band during the creation. Mick Taylor-era Stones is the best Stones.

Rocks off is up near the top for me.

One of my favs.

No one should like Bob Dylan.

Electrified blues from the 50s & early 60s sounded extremely thin due to the primitive amps and recording stuff they used. The stones were probably copying that. most didn't even use a bass AFAIK.
