This Beatles song really doesn't sound 50 years old.

you think a psychedelic song w/a sitar backing doesn't sound 50 years old?

50 years later, it's still ahead of its time. 
EFA: same for this one, more than 40 years later... John Lennon #9 dream

I'm trying to come up with another music analog for what is taking place right here.
The best I can come up with on the fly is a thread where the OP posts a CCR song that doesn't sound exactly like every other CCR song to illustrate that, 'see, not all their songs sound the same.' I'm sure there's are way better examples, but whatever. Because, I mean, you can say that the Beatles catalog of 200+songs sounds completely and unlistenably dated, but that argument fails because, here, check out this one. ::chuckle chuckle::
I don't know what the OP's intent was here, but the result is a fantastic illustration of what I consider to be a conclusive fact; namely, that he Beatles' music hasn't held up over time. So, yeah, it doesn't. Old news.
"BUT BUT BUT....Rubber Soul helped to inspire Pet Sounds which in turn served as a catalyst for Sgt. Peppers and without those three albums no great songs would have ever been written because, you see, these three albums serve as both the but-for and proximate cause of any and all above average and above music that has been made since. And so, you see, without The Beatles we would essentially have no decent music ot listen to today and in fact music as an artform would have likely died out just like string puppetry. And so, because of all this, The Beatles are clearly the GOAT band. Oh hey man, switching gears: I checked out those movies with Brad Cooper your girlfriend mentioned. I liked them oka, but ws really diggig some of the music. Some fresh sounding stuff. Will research later. Whatever it is, I'm sure it wouldn't have existed without the beatles. They influence everything,"

What the frick are you babbling on about?
He specifically said "THIS SONG"...this ONE SONG...doesn't sound 50 years old. He never implied the entire Beatles catalogue is timeless. What the frick did you get off on that tangent for?

So by implication, essentially every other Beatles song sounds 50 years old.

Did The Beatles invent punk rock with "Helter Skelter"?

The mashup of this song with "Within You, Without You" on the LOVE album is fricking awesome.

Nice troll + hijack attempt bro. Move along.

Helter Skelter was inspired by The Who's "I Can See For Miles."

Hard to belive they were singing about holding hands only 2 years before that

So you decided to be the "That Guy". Every Beatles thread has to have one, someone's gotta do it

"You know who else has hands? The Devil, and he uses them for holdin'!"

That was the first song whose sound was engineered by Geoff Emerick, who had just turned 18 before this recording. He put the drum mics dangerously close to the snare, hence that loud snare sound. John Lennon told him something like "I want to sound like a monk yelling from the top of a mountain 10,000 miles away" and of course Emerick had no idea what the hell he was talking about, but somehow he nailed it according to Lennon.

True, but it's its whole different animal. The idea behind "Helter Skelter" was that "I Can See For Miles" was the loudest, dirtiest rock song Paul had ever heard. He made "Helter Skelter" to one-up it, but it took on a life all it's own.
