Bands not standing the test of time

Dated... No quality music shall sound dated, as it will have newer, younger fans.

This is an interesting topic. If I were to look at music through my eyes/ears, I would say that there is very little out there that sounds "dated" if you listen to them strictly musically. I am right now listening to the Allman Brothers Band (Midnight Rider) and it does not sound dated in the least. The craftmanship is excellent. Paranoid follows it up and it sounds great as well..... We THINK something is dated when we decide to call it such.... but what happens then is we handcuff modern musicians, making them think if they use a Hammond organ they'll sound "dated" and no one will buy their albums.... All sounds and forms of music sould be open for use by today's musicians.... Unfortunately, producers today steer musicians away from their own instincts and tell them things like "Do a rap here... That's the sound you need today!" I cringe when I hear a heavy metal band rapping because I know a producer somewhere is saying that very thing...... Everything is relative. I dare anyone to tell the world that Mozart is dated..............

No point in this argument, you are simply being convrontional for the sake of it. Simply put, The Sex Pistols are timeless, unlike many prog bands!

I am proud of my late grand mother; she was a progressive music fan because of my cousin Jimmy who was brought up by her. Jimmy was and maybe still a great progressive music fan since 1969. My grand mother   always found something interesting in this music; she liked the organ sound and the synthes and more...
