and tell me how freakishly current it sounds considering it came out over 40 years ago. 1967 to be exact...


well maybe not that current. but c'mon.

If that was like 5% different and came out now, I wouldn't even think it was unusual.

that's why there's no point listening to most modern rock, in my opinion. it's all been done, and usually done better.

[TurdBerglar]

i was comparing it more to hip hop/modern r&b moreso than rock.

all that would really need to be changed in order for it to sound like something you'd hear on modern pop radio would be very little. just change the orchestration to something modern sounding and the same with the harmonzing of the chorus and the overall lyrics. a song about the post would be rather corny today. but the notes played and the melodies and repeatitive riffing and especially the drum beat are something very very similar to what you'd might here on some modern pop radio station today.

hmm, sure, music from the 60's and 70's certainly influence today's pop.

I mostly like to listen to new music like stoner rap, and/or weird and/or creepy, extremely heavy and/or dissonant. Mainly because I believe that music should progress, and a lot of what's made today is just kinda boring for me...considering bands like Can and Neu, and some other prog bands I like already made music I'd rather listen to.

take this song by Can from 1972, it has a hip hop style beat: http://youtu.be/9a1NhRbNJ_Y

and this, I don't know if it could be mistaken for a band today, but this is my favorite band of all time: http://youtu.be/tyPNZiFJyS0

the only thing different about the beat and bassline in that can song would be today a souless drum machine would have been used instead.
