Do you mean the stuff they were producing at the time or the records they put out now? Personally i find a big chunk of 80's music hasn't dated well, so much of it was terribly overproduced.

Pretty much any 90s britpop band.

Yes, the stuff that was raved about at the time. I find most older bands and singers struggle to put out decent stuff these days when their heyday was a couple of decades ago at least. The Stones, Elton John etc

Oasis and Blur? I was never a big fan but I do still like quite a few of their popular songs, even today.

Sounds very dated now though doesn't it? The production techniques, the drum sound etc.

Not Kraftwerk. Their sound is timeless, and a huge number of bands/scenes now do everything they can to get even close to a similar sound nowadays.

Completely Kraftwerk for me. I happen to think they are the most influential band of all time but listening to their records leaves me cold, electronic music has moved on so far.

One of my students this morning did a presentation on SuperHeavy, a supergroups including Dave Stewart, Mick Jagger, Joss Stone, Marley jnr and an Indian guy. Not a classic band as new but 'classic' musicians.

Thought it was very poor.

Edit Reread the question yep Beatles are in
I would love to agree with you on this one, but I think we could be seriously outnumbered on this one.

I would have to go for the Stone Roses, they still sound to me like a very average sixties band and I don't get how anyone could get so worked up by them.
Duran Duran, probably because I never liked them anyway.
Simple Minds, just because

Do you have ears?

For me it would be the Moody Blues - although I would not be sure they were ever that cool.

Have to agree, but they were very cool around Go Now, admittedly with Denny Laine as lead singer at the time. I listened to Ride My See Saw the other day and it really did sound cheesy and naff, as well as dated. I used to quite like it at the time though.

Stone Roses are a great shout. Totally of their time & therefore hasn't aged well.
