You can really see the way certain artists changed music like Elvis and the Beatles , regardless if you like them now as artists they broke though something and changed the culture forever. I recently saw an interview with ozzy Osborn about the impact the Beatles had on him “ it was like going to sleep in a world that was gray , and waking up in a world with colour.” His musics very different from the Beatles, but I love that quote.

Everyone: “it’s so nice to hear the voices over 100 years,” Me: “horses, horses, horses,”

It's crazy how many of the old ones are covered or sampled nowadays. We've really been listening to 100 year old songs

"This land is my land, and this land is your land" And that, kids, was how countries were invented.

70s-90s was gold

You know these songs are bangers when they still play on the radio 40-50 years later

just got rickrolled

He isnt scared of copyright Copyright is scared of him 😅

For anyone wondering, 8:34 is considered the most popular song on this list.

there are a lot of weird transitions but i think going from zombie in 94 to the fucking macarena in 95 is so insane i love it

How lucky are we to be able to listen to voices of people from 100 years ago

This is such a beautiful video

everyone: "it's beautiful how you can watch camera quality and music change over the course of a century." me: "horses horses horses."

Props to the cameraman for living long enough to post this historic footage

"Muted for Copyright" was my favorite

6:02 "Here comes the sun, and I say, let it be." Lol.
