milod Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Jax... I don't think "Yesterday." I think "Happy birthday to you" would better qualify. It ain't the fanciest piece of music, but if you wanna talk "classic," it certainly fills the bill... I also find it interesting that current rock is considered so much "songs that can stand the test of time" when there ain't been nearly as much time as some of the "jazz standards." Then there are some blues standards that date back over a century. Scott Joplin might almost be considered "classical music" in a sense. And how about such as Beethoven's "Moonlight sonata" or Liszt's "Liebestraum?" m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl M Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 True, there are so very many. I'm a big Eagles fan, so anytime I hear the kick off to "Lyin' Eyes" , "New Kid In Town", or any number of others-I can't turn it. Those songs still sound fresh and work for me.

milod Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Jax... I think it's ASCAP that "owns" the common version of "Happy Birthday to You." If one considers how often it's sung... Now if you said "pop" songs... <grin> Hey, I'd go for a lotta stuff. Yesterday certainly meets a lot of age groups' thoughts and inclinations, though, and I will wager it will stand the test of time for sure. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rame Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Bohemian Rhapsody for sure - simply a masterpiece that I never tire of ( despite it being played to death during the Wayne's World era) Welcome to the Jungle ( and really all of Appetite) - It sounds as heavy today as it did in 87 Those are two just off the top of my head. When someone says the song "stands the test of time" I interpret that to mean the song does not sound "dated". Bohemian Rhapsody does not sound like it came out of the 70's (or the 80's or the 90's or 60's) to me. It just sounds.... awesome! Same with Welcome to the Jungle. It does not sound like a song from the 80's ( or 90's or 70's, etc.) to me. It just sounds like a killer, in your face rock song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Apparently ASCAP thinks so - which is why a lotta restaurant/bar franchises have their own "happy birthday" songs. Yeah, I think I'd consider it a "cover" in a sense. I guess too I never much liked the term "cover" in a lotta ways. In the swing era, for example, just about everybody ended up playing pretty much the same music with their own arrangements and I think folks tended to think of it as different bands' "versions" of a song rather than a cover. But then it was kinda considered that the song as written and the "version" as arranged were different creatures. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like to do a straight cover, note for note, I like to make it my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feldkeen4 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Angry eyes by Loggins and Messina Yeah, I've always been weird. The long album version is so jammed full of percussion and horns. And the telecaster is more thud than twang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
