From 2007, flat-out sounds like it's from the early '90s. (But one might still argue that the poppy and high-pitched voices of the early '90s had a different quality to them.  )

Also from 2007. Admittedly, this really proves my own hypothesis that if you took a mid-late '00s R&B ballad produced by the likes of Stargate and gave it a '90s-style beat, it would sound like '90s R&B, because this cover flat-out sounds like it could be from as far back as 1997 and doesn't sound much different from Angel of Mine by Eternal despite having only a slightly different beat from Elliott Yamin's original.

From 2017, sounds like 2008 Paramore.

We have a thread based on songs that sound like they were released in the wrong era, but it doesn't matter. It's still interesting to talk about.  Before:
Released in 1983, but it easily could have been released sometime in the Early-Mid '90s. A psychedelic song from 1960. For obvious reasons, it sounds like it could have been released in the Late '60s. Incredible to think that this was recorded in 1959!  After:Was released in 2004, but looks/sounds like something from 1999 or 2000. Have a look at 0:56-1:04. It looks like something straight from the Y2K Era. This hair-metal song from 1994. I'm amazed that it managed to peak within the ARIA Top-10, despite the fact that hair-metal fell out of favour by that stage. That hair metal song you posted sounds more like an Ugly Kid Joe type of song.

The more I hear this song, the more it sounds like a straightup 60s song released 20 years too late. There were loads of songs in the 80s emulating styles like Rock & Roll, Rockabilly, Doo-Wop and general 50s-60s Pop influences but this one especially takes the cake. It reminds so much of those Phil Spector-lettered hit songs in particular.

BTW, I know that Human Nature was popular here for a short time circa 1999-2000 from reading Pinoyexchange posts from that time. But I don't remember that at all for some reason. Somebody just uploaded a karaoke VCD I used to have featuring a version of Eternal Flame based on their cover, but I honestly barely remember the contents of it. I remember having it, but I barely even remember the songs in it.

It's amazing that in a year as progressive as 1966, this ditty completely dated to the 50s still managed to be a huge hit (I think it was released way back in 1963, but it's still dated for that year too).
To put it into perspective, popular rock music sounded like this in 1966:

In all honesty, I don't think it sounds at all dated for its time. Why? It's in a minor key. Around 1964 or 1965, minor keys suddenly became extremely common in popular music after barely being prevalent whatsoever for awhile. "Hanky Panky" very much sounds like something you'd hear from right after the arrival of the Beatles and I can't imagine it being popular before that.

Nu Metal was way past it's peak in 2007.

But still, what particularly dates it to me is its use of the simple 12-bars blues progression which had become extremely unpopular in the mid-1960s. And it just has a very dated feel to it in general (reminds me of a Buddy Holly song, but I can't pinpoint which), especially when you compare it to this group's hit single just 2 years later which was mind-blowingly miles ahead of "Hanky Panky":

I always associated that song with the mid 1960s lol.

This song here was popular in 1990 but, sounds deep into the 1980s (like 1986).
On the other hand, I remember hearing this song in 1999 but, it definitely sounds later than that. (Trust me, this is the censored version and it still seems NSFW).
