Music thats still fresh

Auvers

music styles comes and goes and gets dated over time,

but what artists for you sound as fresh as the day you first heard them?

for me it has to be The Cure

I suppose I will add most dated

that has to be Nirvana

+1 on The Cure still love them after all these years. Depeche Mode or New Order would still go see both of those bands if they were in concert.

Apart from the 1 or 2 tracks that use Syndrums (She's Lost Control springs to mind), I think Joy Division still sound fresh as fu*k because the sound was so stripped down and lean and without a lot of over production which dates stuff, the synths still sound great as there wasn't a load of cheesy presets used. (disagree with you about Nirvana)

Would be great to see, but i live in Chicago maybe they might make their way here that would be brilliant, hope they've not been here and i just did'nt know .

Probably the Pixies for me, also disagree on the OPs Nirvana view

+1 on the Cure. Some timeless feel good and melodramatic songs.

Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks still has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard.

Naughty by Nature, always fresh.

Roxy music during their initial three album phase still sound fresh and different from everything that went before or since:

Maroon 5, they are still producing records today and they don't sound much different as when they did in 2002!

Yeah, SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

Bonjovi are still as good both in the studio and live as they were in the 80's!

Ormus

Dark Side of the Moon sounds like it was made yesterday, such amazing production and intricacy.

I agree with the OP about Nirvana. I would also add Pearl Jam to that. And Kraftwerk, sadly and respectfully.

Also Radiohead's The Bends. A really good album by normal standards, but compared to how they spread their wings after, The Bends is tame.

Maroon 5 are still as fresh a pile of $hit as ever.

The Dismemberment Plan anybody?

The Cure.... fresh, no chance. imo Most Cure albums sound really dated.

Those two muddy Goth records Pornography and Faith in particular. I loved them as a teenager but listening now I think the lyrics are god awful and the music is formulaic, theatrical Goth rubbish, you might as well call Southern Death Cult fresh.

The mid to late 80's New Wave albums, well... are New Wave records, hardly "fresh".

I think their best album and the freshest sounding one is Three Imaginary Boys, the first one, a nice bs free punk album filled with catchy tunes.

By most standards they're a good band, but they have maybe 3/4 albums worth of decent material over a three decade period and most of it smells like the era it was made in.

The Doors are timeless. Still the coolest band there ever was!

Anything that falls into the category of cock rock seems to date pretty quickly - Bon Jovi, Def Lepard etc... Also the Carter Twins!

They are playing a style of Underground Rock music that predates them and is still going on.

so fresh but not very clean

Tabnabs

listened to some Jimi Hendrix the other day and that to me sounded timeless. Perhaps FSOL too, but maybe we just havent reached their era yet?
