Some bands, some songs, just are.
My list is extensive, but let me start with some harder bands.
Some timeless bands, with songs that will stay with us for forever:
Metallica
Ozzy
Motley Crue
G'N'R
ZEPPELIN
Satriani
I'll be back with a different timeless genre and era for this thread.
Burton Cummings will be denoted. The man has a voice to melt for, and a writing style unchallenged to date.

Jewel and Fiona Apple in the same breath as Beethoven?
You have smoked way too much pot
Sloats, admit it, some of thier songs WILL remain for quite some time...beyond our generation, no doubt.
I'm not a Jewel fan but some of her songs are simpoly not going to go away...
and Fiona has a voice that is absolutely timeless. Yeah, she has major issues, probably won't have another top ten hit for the rest of her life but her voice is timeless..to me at least.
If you think about it, many "one hit wonders" are "timeless" but if I were to list any of them along side Bach or Mozart, thats not to say that "Walk This Way" is a masterpiece like "Fugue in G Minor".
Not that Aerosmith is a one hit wonder band...bad example perhaps but I think you can get my point...maybe?
Any time I hear the phrase one-hit-wonder it makes me think of how those words oftentimes are used on the radio in conjunction with "Epic" by Faith No More. That always pisses me off
:mad::mad:
as genius as most of thier stuff is header, Epic was their only true "hit"...by radio/sales/airplay standards...
but don't get me wrong though, FNM rocks. Real Thing/Angel Dust/KFADFFAL all still kick my ass in.
