If however timeless music means music not specific for a zeitgeist, or music that doesn't need a specific time period/era to be enjoyed than a timelessness can be heard, however of course maybe the timespan of the era can be very large.so in our lifetime the music appears timeless, while infact it's specific for our century or eon.
 
Can't just cut TLC a break can you?

Lost Chord, it's good to have back here!

Good thread. I do believe I'm in agreement with you. Music belongs to a time, eternal through it's excellence, although that is of coirse subjective. But, 'timelessness' is indeed a failry meaningless concept.

I wouldn't say I "like" bad quality...but if the music is good, then it dosn't matter to me.
Kind of along the point you were making?
Maybe?

I said it! Yes, it is completely irrelevant.  It doesnt matter if an album is "Timeless" or not, some people, myself included, LOVE the sound of grainy audio and old instruements, music that sounds like it was made FOR a time period also.  I also do not believe there is SUCH A THING as timelessness....Everything belongs to a time, not everything needs to "stand the test of time", some things are meant to meld with the power of their time and are further beautified by that!  For instance, music, prog, golden age prog from the 60's and 70's...none of it is timeless, all of it is eternal, from an era that gave birth to it and deserves credit.
 
Timeless? Bollocks! (as british people would say, especially Tony R)
