All of those songs aged just fine. What ages any song is when the song uses particular synths or drum beats or production values that didnt really fit the music, but were popular at the time, so you might not have noticed, but now that "the sound" has fallen out of style it makes the mismatch suddenly apparent. A lot of 80's pop, for example, hasn't aged well because they went nuts with the power drums, synths and pads, saxophones and neo classical guitar solos. The influence of Nirvana came up earlier in the thread, their influence, on one hand, was to mark the end of all that.

I don't think Adore has "aged" because it was never especially contemporary. If you disagree, name some other popular tracks from around '97 that you think mirror the style of Adore, and sound dated by the same token.
