ADD -- blessing and curse
Or is there such a thing?
In your opinion, what is the "perfect" song, if it exists?
Or, more importantly, what makes a song "timeless"? I mean, there are songs that might have been big in their time, that people just don't listen to anymore, and then you have songs like "Stairway...", "Free Bird", "Sweet Home Alabama", and such, and some artists who have lasted, even beyond their death or group breakup, to be listened to by new generations of listeners.
Take me, for instance. Hank Williams died 23 years before I was born, but I still enjoy his music. I was never around for the Beatles, but I like their stuff. Never really listened to a lot of rock growing up, but still enjoy Lynyrd Skynyrd. Things like that.
It's like, a good song is a good song, regardless of genre and when the song was recorded or does that stuff matter?
