Clicking on the link "Watch on YouTube" should take one to the song/tune. Many music videos on Youtube are only watchable on youtube unfortunately.Another unique "progressive" rock sound from Genesis, "Firth of Fifth".dlgoff said:

I grew up on Led Zep but cannot listen to it now. Very dated ( though if I was asked 30 years ago I would have stated " Led Zep forever!"Colin Hayes said:Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven
Now that is dated!Jodo said:Far as best music...these days anything by JS Bach is fine by me
Young JS made a living as an itinerant 'keyboard' player, pipe organ virtuoso and occasional salesperson; while composing the most sublime music.Jodo said:...

The kitschy blues tunes like 'I can't quit you babe' or 'Lemon Song' are very datedpinball1970 said:If it is really good music I don't think it dates, it just is. Zep first 4 albums will endure I think. What is dated about it? @Jodo

If you want timeless, this is likely the oldest living music tradition on Earth, the Pygmy music I posted above being the second
I still enjoy Zep. I agree the first 4 are probably timeless ( as well as Physical Graffiti ). I just find after discovering Joe Satriani back in 1988 and then spending the following 2 years learning how to play it, my taste changed alot. If I had a dime for every time I played stairway to heaven I would retire now instead of 4 years from now ( I cringe when I hear that song now )pinball1970 said:If it is really good music I don't think it dates, it just is.

Going to California... Now that's a diff story
Zep forever! Just sounds sooooo 70's now. Guess that what I mean by dated.

- Over the Rainbow by Judy Garland vs Iz Kamakawiwo'ole
