This could be mistaken to be about a decade old, when it's actually almost fifty years old.

I always thought Just the Two of Us was from the 60s or 70s for the longest time. It was actually the 80s.

That is a good example.

It really does go to show that music, as a timeline is a conversation.

You can hear the new wave influence in it.

hose that don't remember it/never saw the video.I thought it was from The Police when I first heard it. Sounds an awful lot like Sting in his hey day.

Speaking throwback songs, this late 2020 release perfectly replicates the 1980s italo disco sound.

I know ya'll are going to hate me for this, but this piece is centuries ahead of its time.

To think, Bach lived and died before, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, Mozart, et al, were even born... Is stunning.

I always thought Velvet Underground & Nico sounded in some ways pretty ahead of its time, dare I say modern (2010s) even?

Way better than the 2010's.
But to think they were putting out some of their stuff in the late 60's is amazing.

Fitting, considering their sound hasn't evolved since then.

This song I thought was from the late 80's. I think it's the bassline that makes it sound more modern than it is.

Uptown girl from Billy Joel is intentionally trying to sound like it's from the 50's so I don't know if that counts.

I've literally told people this is my favorite song about transvestites and the number of times I got a blank stare numbs me.

Really? The old school 80s hip hop hooks in the verse are a product of its time.
