From those artist i would say the least dated for me would be U2 and The Smiths and the most dated would be REM and Guns n roses.

To me the smiths could still pass off as a new indie band, a song like "Please let me get what i want" would be a hit in any era and U2 for better or worse always comes up with a radio hit once in awhile and stays relevant.

REM and GNR to me though are pure 90's. every REM song ive heard still sounds like it belongs in a 90's college radio station and GNR always reminds of the hair metal of the late 80's early 90's.
This is absolutely worse than any YouTube comment I'd ever read.
