Massive Attack. Forget which guy is in his 40's, but they didn't get rolling until the second album. Daddy G I think is the old fart.
their first album is a masterpiece. It created the whole trip hop genre. I didnt think any of the main members of Massive attack were that old. Horace Andy who always does some of the vocals is, he was a great reggae guy in the 70's.
over the hill?
Oh yeah and how can we forget Sonic Youth?

Why would someone say Flaming Lips are not a rock band?

The guys from the Flaming Lips are well into their forties. I hate their early pre-Transmissions stuff.
from the best I could find:
"Daddy G's is around mid-December 1959 (Sagittarius), and 3D's is around late January/mid-February 1966 "
so if that is right, makes Mezzanine mostly done before he was 40. I really dont see them doing anything worthwhile again. 100 broken windows is approaching unlistenable.
I still think blue lines is the best. Hymn of the big wheel and for the complete sound of the album.

crazy people, thats who!
Originally posted by Sir HC:that would fit, but they had been working on Mezzanine for 3 years before it was released. So he probably wasnt 40 when working on it.
when Mezzanine came out with him saying he was 40.

I thought Tom Petty was a folk artist.
Bob Mould, yes
Paul Westerberg, NO
Bob Pollard, yes
You said aged well, not better, right? If that's the premise, I think Pollard is better, Mould is excellent but early 90s was almost unbeatable, and Westerberg just makes me sad.

Originally posted by bags:QUE?? Petty definitely dabbled in southern rock sounds, but his first album was in '76! And was, at least to my ears, pretty much a rootsy take on early new-wave. The Allman Brothers invented Southern Rock (first album 1969) and Lynyrd Skynyrd released Free Bird in '73, so I can't really see calling Petty the grandaddy of southern rock. But, true enough, he ain't no folk artist either.

You're right, walkman, he's not southern rock. I was just rebelling too hard against the folk label (not that there's anything wrong with that!).
Originally posted by bags:While I still think Pollard is great now, his early songs can't be beat - none of the newer albums are as good as Propeller or Alien Lanes.
