Go for classic music.

Is the LAST pinnacle in audio realm.

This is great stuff, turn it up.

Music is Dead, long live Music << HUH?
Please spare the RIP comments for music!
Your statement only shows that you are getting lazy and not foraging for what feels great; coming thru your ears.
If you draw the historical trajectory of music from the accurate representation in Caveman (1981; RingoStarr) movie, thru-out eternity you will realize one thing:
MUSIC is RESILIENT, always has been and will (*one can hope) always be.
MUSIC is what connects people (humanity) together like nothing else!
If music ever dies, then you know the end is near!

After posting my above reply, I realized I had that "earwig" song that I never knew wtf it was saying (nor do I really care) but the line that has always ticked me off was "The day the music died".
EDIT/Add: See counterpoint in this post: "Rock music is Dead? (Spoiler: No)"

"The day the music died".

When Skynyrd crashed?

There are millions of new albums, it's like finding a needle in a haystack

You can use this to filter out > 90% of them as overcompressed.

Album list - Dynamic Range DB

Then it's easier to discover new stuff.

That should probably be the headline of this thread "Rock music is Dead?" (or the musicians are dying or retired) not music is dead.

I know great music when I hear it
Unfortunately there are very few true artists LIKE Kurt Cobain or great bands like LED Zeppelin, believe me in 30 years from now people will be listening to Led Zeppelin and not Greta and other band that has formed in the last 10 years.
Somehow the soul in music has been lost.

You sound just like my Dad, lauding the Benny Goodman Orchestra and complaining about the “noise” that I listened to when I was a kid (Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Hendrix, et al).

BTW, I’ve been a Led Zeppelin fan for a while. I saw one of their last concerts in the U.S. before John Bonham died. That was 1977.

OK
Then who's the current Led Zeppelin?
Which album of a relatively new band, released in the last 5 years is a timeless classic?
I can't think of anything

What's a 'timeless classic'?

What's a 'timeless classic'?

An album you can listen to 30 years from now and won't be outdated

Releases of the last 5 years cannot be considered 'timeless classic' as not enough time has elapsed in order to withstand the test of time.

There is good music to be found in every decade.

Having said that and having researched the issue a bit in the past, people who study music and deal with music history etc. do agree that the 60's and 70's were among the best decades for music output across all genres and across most countries and languages, as these seemed to be the two decades which created most of the masterpieces in almost every kind of musical genre.
This occurred for a number of reasons, beyond the scope of this thread, but the two main reasons are (a) in the early 50s most of the world came out from pretty much 50 years of wars, and people were 'hungry' for art (including music) because art, as a society activity, was sacrificed for many years due to warfare, death and poverty; (b) the advances in recording techniques of the time, i.e. from mono to stereo, from 10''LP to 12'' LP etc.

OK. See you in thirty years, let's see what there is.

For example, Christmas songs by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Nat King Cole are timeless classics since they are still being played today and are still used in Xmas movie soundtracks even today. Please don't tell me you haven't hummed Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer at some point ... That is a timeless classic.

Hmm. Difficult times have led to great art - 'war poets', Sassoon, Brooke, Owen. There are examples of great art in every century (every year!). Access to it might be more of function of developments in technology.

Yes - but how does one know NOW what a 'timeless classic' is?

Quite. Asking 'Which album of a relatively new band, released in the last 5 years is a timeless classic?' is...premature
