Songs/Albums that haven't aged well
Are there any songs or albums that you listen to and think it hasn't aged well at all and it isn't as good as when it first came out
A big example for me has to be Duffy - Rockferry (It sounds incredibly dated 4 years since it came out and its like a forgotten and estranged sister to Amy's Back To Black and Adele's 21 who have all been two other hugely acclaimed Soulful albums by a British female) |

I suppose I would have to agree with Duffy's. However I do believe there isn't really an aging process to records because each album of a certain year defines that sort of era. Adele, Duffy and Amy were 2008 in my opinion.
Taking a shot but i'd say Adele's '19' hasn't aged well either but then the music on that record wouldn't have fit 2009/2010 either imo. I know what I mean, it's hard to describe. '21' is much better. |

Good point but i always believe no matter what era an album came out, some albums do sound fresh and fantastic decades later.

A lot of the Max Martin produced stuff from 1999/2000 sounds dated today.

I don't think Bleeding Love has aged well.

Rachel Stevens and Girls Aloud's debut albums. You wouldn't guess they came out the same year as Sugababes' Three, which still sounds fresh to this day.

Madonna's "Confessions on a Dance Floor" sounds fresher and more relevant today than it did 7 years ago! It never sounds dated. Whereas "Ray of Light" does.

I think a lot of 90s street pop stuff, I managed to catch a video from 5ive the other day whilst channel hopping, the curtain undercut hairstyles, earrings and the shirts all buttoned up to the top...I thought it was cheesy then now its just down right hilarious.

But I'm hoping no-one revives the 90s. Blur's Great Escape, Wake Up Boo by the Boo Radleys, anything by Dodgy, loads of Madchester stuff, almost all 90s dance music - even some KLF stuff, innovative and clever though they were. For me it can all go in a big skip and never be heard of again! ![]() If Only I Could by Sidney Youngblood ha ha... from 89-90... it sounds like the musical equivalent of a brick mobile phone with an aerial sticking out when set up against the latest Android.

I love Pet Shop Boys to bits, but I don't think 'Very' has aged particularly well, whereas 'Nightlife' hasn't dated at all.

Some of the production on Kate Bush's albums haven't aged too well. Mostly on The Red Shoes, the updates she made on the songs for Directors Cut sound much better.
Whereas I think The Kick Inside from 1978 sounds brilliant even today and that album is 34 years old. |

Every Spice Girl song...yes, including Viva Forever. Wannabe just sounds odd now.
