discussion Your faves most timeless sounding song VS. their most outdated sounding song

[tili33]

I'll start,

timeless probably THE EDGE OF GLORY

most outdated? maybe poker face (I love it tho)

[Sanctuary]

 

The whiplash

 

You could argue that Vogue is pretty timeless, I mean Beyonce just sampled it in 2022. For dated, you could pretty much sub TUTR for 90% of either Hard Candy or MDNA. Very 2008/2012 sounding albums.

[RihFenty20]

LOTB and Right Now (I think its the most generic thing she's ever done, I'll never understand why David G has nice collabs with other artists but for Rih we ended up with Who's That Chick and Right Now)

[CottageHore]

Lana 

 

Most timeless- 90% of her entire discography, but Video Games, West Coast, Y&B, NFR, and Mariners come to mind first.

 

Least timeless- Coachella, In My Feelings, and half of LFL

Lowkey ALL of these above feel timeless (mix of old and new songs). For me timeless doesn't just sound fresh now, but like it could've been a hit decades ago and totally believable. It needs to sound like a classic yet modern. Timeless is eternal.

 

 

Outdated:

kinda hard considering all his sounds sound timeless.

 

Timeless

 

Outdated (his mixtape)

"Hot N Cold" still sounds really good today. A lot of One of the Boys songs have been sounding great now that pop-punk is making a revival.

 

And I think "E.T." is her most aged song, or at least her most aged single. It's wild that it used to be her biggest song.

Beyonce

Timeless: Love On Top 

 

Dated: Best Thing I Never Had, Run The World, Single Ladies

This really is timeless. I am so over Shake it off, but when this comes on it feels like a brand new song every time and I worked in retail when it was at its peak!

Queen of timeless music! Her worst record loses again of course.

It's not exactly timeless either 'cause it does have that 2010s kind of bubbly pop production going on but doesn't sound too dated either. 

Methinks folklore and evermore would be better examples of her timeless music, but Blank Space remains iconique!
