There's no way that 'Blue' was recorded in 1971.

That's very true. The synth-pop of the '80s particularly sounds dated now, but simple arrangements with acoustic guitar are timeless. Of course, Joni experimented with open tunings, so her arrangements were anything but simple! She was well ahead of her time.

maybe this is why I appreciate music only from the 1980's and earlier

That is so true. There is something timeless about that great music from the 60s and early 70s. Although I do like a lot of artists and music from the 80s and 90s as well.

I agree.
I guess it's why they call some music "timeless".
Blue was the first Joni Mitchell album I ever heard. A friend won it with a bunch of other weird albums from a radio station, he was the 13th caller or something. He was a rock kid so listened to it once and gave it to my sister and me. We became addicts at that point.
The funny thing was the song California had a scratch, so you heard the scratch instead of "Paris, France". I still hear the song that way.
