Top 10 timeless beats - your opinion ?

#21
michael jackson's billie jean without vocals isn't a "beat", it's an instrumental. i got confused by what you were actually asking for since your examples are pop/rock songs. i assume you're asking for songs that are of "classic" caliber that most people wouldn't have heard about, right?
i sincerely want to tell you "shut the fuck up", i don't know why.

Money for nothing - The Dire Straits :D
Criticize - Alexander O'neal

*redemption song - Bob Marley. This may not be classified as a beat, but I love that guitar on this
If were gonna include all types of music:

Wonderful - Everclear
Karma Police - Radiohead
Nutshell - Alice N Chains
How about you - Stained
Drinking in LA - Bran Van 3000
Thrash Unreal - Against Me
Tiny Teddy - Headstones

I recommend everyone download these songs.

i think the whole or most of q-tip's "the renaissance" album is timeless.

also, just listened to "baby" by ghostface killah and i think that particular instrumental is timeless too. it could still sound new in 10-20 years time.

not sure about top 10 list of beats.

but i'll name a few i really feel.

BCC & aaliyah - nightriders (remix) - nice laid back beat
big pun - you aint a killer - laid back also
wu - c.r.e.a.m. - nice sample, laid back.
cypress hill - hits from the bong - nice beat, catchy, laid back.
ice cube - you know how we do it - smooooothh
missy elliott - the rain
aaliyah - rock the boat
krs - outta here
dubb union - cali grown
the lox - recognise
m.o.p. - world famous
rza - you cant stop me now

loads more.

right now, im really feeling laid back hip hop beats. i use these smooth, laid back instrumentals to complement the dvd's of slideshows i make from pictures of family occassions or nights out etc...

although i LOVE hardcore hard hitting beats that are aggressive and hype you up. things like MOP and sticky fingaz are excellent for that but after a while it gives you a headache. so does rapping in general.
