[Music] Artists of more than 20 years' standing making new music to match their early greats?

[Reagulls]

Chemical Brothers - saw them in 1997 at Brixton academy on the the dig your own hole tour and seen them many times throughout their career. Got tickets for the O2 in November and the new album is excellent.
Playing Glastonbury tonight... can’t wait, even if you’re not a big fan of electronic music the shows are always outstanding.

Another vote for The Stones. Still churning out great stuff!

I think your vote is the first?
I agree with the OP that their new music is not great as it once was.

Another vote for Metallica though.

Our Norm still bangs out a good tune.

None. There's none

If the OP is feeling generous with his definition of 20 years then I’ll add Hot Chip. They just scrap in the 20 years criteria.

Damon Albarn got a mention earlier. People should note the sheer quantity of his output as well as the quality.

Agree with this - e g A Bathful of Ecstasy is a stonker!!

I think it will be the soundtrack to our summer!

We won't know for another 20 years.

Many years back he said that he would not become some boring old bloke sat on a stool playing a guitar!

You mock, but he's been going 40 years, so must be doing something right!

It’s just proof that we all have very different opinions on what is great music. Whilst I accept Numan is a hero and brilliant in many people’s eyes, his music has always left me cold. Cars has to be up there with the most irritating moronic songs that I have ever heard

I haven’t gone out of my way to listen to his music but I have heard quite a bit on the radio and have seen the occasional concert clips and I just don’t get the raving about him.

He obviously does what he does very well but it all sounds shit to me. And I do mean unlistenable shit

Another one who does what he does well but it’s a no from my ears.

You blatantly haven't browsed though this thread.
