1971 was dominated by smooth soul, singer-songwriter, soft rock, and funk. This song is considered the first disco song!

This hit song obviously stands out for the doo-wop/girl group/easy listening-dominated 1962: It even sounds like a psychedelic pop instrumental at some parts. Makes me wish the late 50s/early 60s mainstream included more of these bizarre electronic experimentations. 1971 was dominated by smooth soul, singer-songwriter, soft rock, and funk. This song is considered the first disco song! Not really sure how that would be disco. It lacks a prominent four-on-the-floor beat. It's pretty much pure funk/soul.

This was a hit in late 1989/early 1990 but it would still be a huge hit in 1994/95

Bizarre Love Triangle (1986) - Sounds 25 years ahead of its time, while it is technically New Wave/Synthpop, the tone and some aggressive synths are what influenced some Electropop songs from the Late 2000s/Early 2010s. Sounds 80s while still way ahead of its time. I always felt the same more for this other song they made.

Hard to think this was a huge hit in 1964! This was back when the Beatles were still newcomers in the rock canon. And it sounds so ahead of its time too (for the year where "I Get Around" and "A Hard Day's Night" were the defining rock hits), almost better fitted for 1969 when a lot of songs had this building and brooding vibe. Woahh

The Beach Boys - All I Wanna Do (1970), Sounds about 10-50 years ahead of its time, sounds like a shoegaze song by the dreaminess vibe, while still sounding fairly 60s with the vocals and instruments. While it won't pass today, I can tell that songs like Midnight City or Best Day of My Life takes cues from it, or even Bedroom pop songs like Sunflower or Circles. This is also one of the first Chillwave songs, and New Wave songs from the 80s take inspiration like West End Girls

I don't really see Kraftwerk releasing something like that.

This was released in 1983 and would still be a big hit in 1988 with the freestyle dance pop scene. The only addition is to have crashing drums.

Ehh, I wouldn't say it's WAYY ahead of its time considering there's lots of Dance pop songs in 1983-1989 from Madonna, Cyndi Lauper and especially Whitney Houston, something you'd hear the most in 1987...

D.A.N.C.E. by Justice came out in 2007 but it sounds like the type of retro 80s beat that would come out in 2020. Sounds very similar to Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia.

I'm not sure if the song would've massively taken off this year, but since we're in another 80s revival peak now, I think it fits pretty well with the current synthpop we hear from the Weeknd, Dua, Lady Gaga, Doja Cat, Miley Cyrus, and others. I personally believe that the early 2010s would be a much better fit for this song, especially along with Justice's other song, "TTthhee Ppaarrttyy", in which the singer sounds like a proto-Ke$ha.
