listening to the beatles...norwegion wood to be exact..damn i love these guys,timeless.

who do you think is timeless,musically,just curious.
something about music that moves the soul,yet some bands come and go...the beatles,particulary this song(made in the 60's)still haunts me.

your fave song or songwriter that haunts you.

i know it is corny,but people love what they love.
before this,i was jamming to some cranberries..they are awesome also.

I listen to everything from punk to Slayer, to Bach to Black Sabbath.

I rarely get tired of the Beatles.

He wrote muscials and popular music from the late teens through early sixties. He did a mix of styles. some of his more popular songs were "Let's Do It, Let's Fall In Love", "Love For Sale", "Anything Goes", "Blow Gabriel, Blow", "Night and Day", "I Get a Kick Out of You", "I've Got You Under My Skin", "You're the Top", and "You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To"

there are so many singers/songwriters that I find to be timeless, in fact I was talking to some teenagers at church about it the other day, and they really think I am strange now. haha.

Our conversation drifted into who do we think is around today that is "new" (within the last 10 years) who is timeless, and well, we didn't find much.

as far as general timelessness, part of it is being able to reach across generations, so I am going to focus (in the spirit of making a short list) on people whom I can listen to that just about everyone else can't object to.


The Beatles (haven't found anyone who doesn't like them)
Louis Armstrong
Neil Diamond (who everyone says they hate, but everyone secretly loves)
Abba (whom everyone loves no matter what they say)
The Mama's and The Papa's
Bob Dylan
Peter, Paul, and Mary

my favorite timeless artist is nat king cole. he never gets old.

a younger sinatra before he got old and self satisfied is very good.

glen miller. if you have any regard for big band, he is excellent.

I was conflicted between them and The Mama's and The Papa's and since Mama Cass is my ulitmate hero, she won out.

How about such timeless bands as The Knack, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Cracker, and the Spice Girls?

I'd say the Doors are pretty timeless.

"California Dreaming" Beach Boys style is better anyway, more background voices. ;)

John Cage.

And Pink Floyd, of course.

I would say some of the works of Bach probably qualify as timeless. There's a composer who's really stood the test of time and managed to stick around after centuries and not mere decades.

"Happiness is a warm gun."

Also covered by another timeless band, U2.

There are plenty of timeless musicians out there.I listen to a lot,and non-english speaking ones also,so I probably couldn't list them all.

But familiar ones might be like: Abba(hey,I don't care,I love them,man.),Aero Smith and Nusrat Ali Khan(Cookie for anyone who also like that man).

Isn't all music timeless? Alot of people can listen to music written a long time ago and enjoy just as much as when it was composed even if the music is directly related to certain events of the time it can still be timeless because history almost always repeats itself and the messege is still valid.
