No it doesn’t. It’s paying homage. Louie Louie by the kingsman isn’t timeless is it?

Nope, it isn't.

Here's an example then. Elbow recorded Golden Slumbers, pretty everyone at my daughter's school in Years 9 and 10 loved it, but next to no-one knew it was by the Beatles and believed it to be an Elbow song.

That points to it still being relevant in the modern world. It's not as if they did a modern interpretation of an old song, they did it pretty much by the numbers.

The song I refer to has been covered through several decades.

In fact even the Kinsgmen version was a cover from the 1950’s - I believe it’s the most covered song in history

I bet many are interpretations and modernisation of the song though.

I said Golden Slumbers because the Elbow version is pretty much identical to the Beatles version and the fact that people were loving the song, thinking it was a new song surely makes it still relevant.

Iggy Pop's version of Louie Louie is a mile away from the original.

But there’s only really one reason anyone has even heard this cover really isn’t there?

Yeah, obsessed with them so much I listed other bands and other albums and then agreed on Nevermind.

Oh and on people 'not getting the concept'



Last or remain popular for a long time.

I would say Abbey Road and the Beatles in general still remain very popular and have done 'for a long time.'

I do think Sgt Pepper's has dated, same as the Beach Boys Pet Sounds, but Abbey Road and a lot of the White Album and the BB's Surf's Up, still sound great today and still remain popular amongst listeners and critics.

I am a big fan of Depeche Mode, but like I said, some of their early stuff really doesn't sound as good as it used it.

One of my favourite all-time tacks of DM was Everything Counts in Large Amounts, but I played it the other day for the first time in an age and it sounded so dated and tinny.

When you listen to something like Halo or In Your Room they still sound great and it's interesting to note, DM have stopped playing nearly all of the early hits they had, live.

Any album by Marillion has stood the test of time, they are all still absolute drivel.

Oh god where do i start - its very personal
- i listened to Tubular bells last night - to go to sleep to - brilliant construction
Dark Side literally is the greatest album for me - its content is timeless - extremes of sound and music - will go on and on and on and on for ever for me
Crime of the Century Supertramp - great variety and singalongability - lyrics are excellent
Hunky Dory - a smogasborg of Bowie talent
Never mind the Bollocks - a variety of music that surprised many who thought that they could not only not play a note but write music !
Goodbye Yellow Brick road - clever writing music and lyrics with three great single tracks - Bennie , Saturday nights alright for fighting , Goodbye Norma Jean and sleepers like Grey seal and Funeral for a friend
Made in Japan - surely one of the greatest live albums - Smoke on the water and Spacetrucking
