This is how they perform it now.

Dump on me bro. Still like the guitar you bought. I have a fancy for a Telecaster at some point in my life.

Stupid Radiohead!
You like an SG? Enjoy the music, and the visuals.

One more. Terry Kath. A very underrated guitarist.

So obviously I’ve had Beyonce’s new album on repeat a lot over the last week. There are a lot of really cool, subtle references to historical references to dance and house music from the past, and it’s just a fun summer album.

And on a similar note, Lizzo’s new album, “Special” dropped the same week, and in a lot of ways executes the dance genre better- especially with her usually personal, but relatable lyrics.

I believe it is deliberate, but am I the only one noticing how many “new” songs don’t sound new anymore?
We often have Sirius XM Hits 1 channel playing in the kitchen, so I hear a lot of new songs in passing without necessarily knowing what the name of the artist and/or song is. Yet regularly I hear a song that sounds like it was from 70’s, or the 90s, or lately there’s this one song playing that I swear sounds like Paul Anka singing!
No wonder Kate Bush’s 35 yr old song is a big hit now, because it sounds like it COULD have been made today. It didn’t have that 80s sound per se, which is perhaps why it made little splash then, but it does have a timelessness to it.
Seems to me like every decade had one or more specific “sounds” that would let you easily place a song as being from then until about 2000. After that pop music stopped sounding like new wave, or disco, or alternative, or progressive, or psychedelic, or whatever and just became kind of “whatever”.

A side note to that comment.
I watched Stranger Things with my 12yo daughter this summer. This series is why Running up that hill got a revival. My daughter has made several comments about the 80’s having great music…

Or perhaps you stopped caring and being in touch with the scenes generating the music because life took you away from such youngling pursuits. I know that’s how it worked for me
FWIW “Running up that hill” is a great song!

Can you tell me, honestly, that you can hear a song from 2007 and another from 2017 and tell that one was 10 years newer than the other? That there is a different sound between them?
To be clear, I’m referring to songs and artists you have not heard before and are experiencing for the first time.
I can easily tell a song from 1947 from one from 1957 from 1967 from 1977 from 1987 from 1997. Once it’s post 90s it seems like pop music ceased to have a unique identity. And I was born firmly in the middle of these eras, yet I can still easily tell my grandparents’ music from my parents’ from what I grew up with.

These songs always remind me of these commercials from back in the 90s:
Big hug man, things eventually gets better… take care.

See that’s not the Fatboy Slim song I would go with, I’d pick this one as superior in that “spirit lifting” category:
