    Someone already mentioned Hocus Pocus by Focus, so I’m going to go with …

    Heart - Crazy On You

    For when the world is going to shit, so all that’s left is to get it on and fuck your woes goodbye

    To be truly timeless you need a few things. A band who knows how to name things. Bad ass drum solos. A couple of electric guitars. An accordion. A flute. Yodeling. Mouth noises. And no lyrics to get in the way.

    I give you “Hocus Pocus” by Focus.

    Off the top of my head, and of course these are completely subjective, I just think of songs that still feel relevant or still reflect a popular attitude today. Feel free to agree or not.

    You’re So Vain by Carly Simon

    Devil Went Down to Georgia by Charlie Daniels Band

    Piano Man by Billy Joel

    Killing in the Name by Rage Against the Machine

    Fast Car by Tracy Chapman

    That one Adagio by Albinoni. The one in G minor. You know it when you hear it.
