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.

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.

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

Learn your damn homophones.

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.

Thanks! It's hard to figure out why, but I suspect one reason is that musicians want to sound so "current" that their sound becomes obsolete that much faster.

Isn't it amazing how artists from the '60s and early '70s sound contemporary, while almost anything from the '80s onward is hopelessly outdated in two years?

It will sound like it came out yesterday in the year 2050 and that's because Joni is timeless.
