How Old is too Old for a Song?

This is original, around 1974.

Rehashed in 2008.

Which one is better?

The original to me. The original one is funky, the other one is just a popsong.

I like the Yanni version best.

original is just too good no offense to the newer version

I was just about to say the same as KH.

Have to agree with s_k here.
Great tune, a lot of fun.

Hw old is too old...No such thing, its a question rather of fondness, experience(emotion) and relevance.

you can see it in churches, cultures and in tradition. Songs just never get old.

Well I think you said well enough for both of us. Sometimes some songs excite me more than others depending on where im at in life. It just varies. Very well said touche!!

This video is a 1964 Stones performance of a song written by Buddy Holly in 1958. The energy and vitality of this version of Not Fade Away still blows me away 47 years later. Strangely enough none of the video seems dated, except that it's filmed in black and white. The Stone's primitive sound reminds me of many contemporary low-fi indie bands. Even their hairstyles and dress aren't very different from many current rock bands.

i don't understand this question.. i listen to robert johnson all the time, and all the old missisipi delta blues artists... i think that too old is before equipment was invented to record.
