Has there ever been an influential band leaded by relatively old people?
Every time we look at the age 'big' musicians started, it looks like everyone made it big before turning twenty.

PiL sucks big dick
sun kil moon
You suck big dick. Metal Box, First Issue and The Flowers of Romance are post-punk masterpieces.
Duke Ellington and His Orchestra
Swans?
A lot of rappers seem to be around 30-40 when they reach their prime commercially
lcd soundsystem
What?
Swans.
James Murphy was in his mid 30s when LCD Soundsystem blew up.
Guided By Voices were in their mid-to-late 30s when they finally had their breakthrough in the mid 90s.
lol were bad at playing instruments so its art! gotcha!
lol i don't like unconventional music so its shit! gotcha!
That one guy from Wire was 30 when Pink Flag came out.
The Stranglers were all considerably older than the average early-20s average age of those first-wave UK punk bands. I think the drummer was pushing 40 at the time their first album was released.
listen to more post-punk jesus christ
>implying Jah Wobble and Keith Levene are bad at playing their instruments
This better be bait, Jah Wobble is a fantastic dub bassist and Keith Levene's unique style paved the way for a million post-punk/alternative rock guitarists
Fuck off, faggot. PiL were the best post-punk band.
Tom Waits' most acclaimed and influential albums weren't recorded until he was 30+
...
Mick Mars was 32 when Shout at the Devil came out. Motley had some influence in the glam scene in the eighties, despite of not releasing anything good after SatD
>sid vicious couldn't play bass very well so that means PiL a band that didn't even exist in Sid's lifetime can't play their instruments
god i fucking hate those cunts
>most acclaimed and influential
Closing Time, at 24
Why people like Sid Vicious anyway?
He did nothing by himself except dying. People only know about him because he was with a well-known band,
As far as I know, Son Lux was over 30 years old before releasing any music.
like I said you need to listen to more if you hold this shitty opinion
she was like 30 something when they made it big
Motorhead
Just because it is your favourite doesn't mean it was his most influential and acclaimed.
>hint: it is rain dogs
>Swordfishtrombones - 32
>Rain Dogs - 35
>Mule Variations - 50
No one gives a shit about that album. Swordfishtrombones is when Tom started getting a ton of acclaim.
Poor kid that looked cool, rebellious and brimming with personality. He wasn't talented or anything but at the time a lot of people could relate to him.
He was practically a counter-culture pop-idol with all the manufactured hype.
post your top 30 post punk right now
I'm not the guy you're talking to but I'm always on the lookout for good post-punk and you probably know some stuff I don't.
Like I said, fuck off.
why?
cameltoe
top 3 sorry, 30 is a bit much to ask for
Really? I always thought he was under 30 even now
key markets fucking irritated the shit out of me
maybe it's just that i'm scottish and i can't stand their fucking godawful midland drawl
nomeansno got big when they were a bit older, especially for a punk band
>public image ltd
>the public has no image of them
>they don't limit themselves in any way
I think he's somewhere around 36 or 37 now.
Greg Ginn was in his late 20s when Black Flag began IIRC. Pretty old for a punk band.
Dog Faced Hermans - Hum of Life
Bauhaus - In the Flat Field
Ensemble Pittoresque - For This Is Past
listen to the stuff on this chart too
rateyourmusic.com
Oh dang you included Bauhaus. I love bauhaus.
Will listen to the others, thanks man.
>Bauhaus - In the Flat Field
Do you seriously think that Bauhaus are obscure?
I didn't ask him for the most obscure, I asked him for his favorites.
I'm not talking to you. Anyway, my point is he seemed to dismiss PiL for being "entry level" but one of his favorite post-punk albums is "entry level".
he didn't say they were entry-level he said they weren't the best. You're putting words into his mouth mang.
I don't care about obscurity I just don't take anyone seriously when they say PiL is their favourite post-punk band
that's not to even say I have great taste either
what are your opinions on Siouxsie and the banshees? That's my favorite.
ah, nationalism :^)
Can't you guys just be friends?
We're not NOT friends if that's what you're implying. We're just talking about music we like a lot.
Maybe.
You're a big musician
never been a huge fan but their earlier stuff is alright
it's all banter mate
This guy was like 50 when he made it big
*60
he also produced long drive
dude's great
Sufjan is 56
I really like this album by Dog Faced Hermans. Thanks for that rec. Do you know Cinema Strange? Kinda reminded me of that, just a lot more energetic
i don't think that's true user
He gets an extra year added for each state he still has to record a concept album for.
douche
Is that straight vagoo
Cause theyve been calling Slaves shit, they can fuck off
Once you hit 30 your likelihood of becoming famous decreases tremendously according to a study that examined the average age of success.
Can
heard of them but never listened, I will check them out
i like his singing
only 16 year old cunts like slaves
...
Cheap Trick. Every subsequent generation buries them a little more, but they are probably the most influential rock act for the the entire 90s and early 00s.
When Duke's orchestra became a big deal in Harlem he was about 25.
>yfw you'll never bang prime Debbie
Sturgill Simpson is like pushing 40.
God I love those fucking cunts
Sufjan Stevens was 30 when he released Illinoise, and that was 11 years ago.
the fucking scatman
All of the guys in The National are like middle aged.
Pulp started super young but didn't really get anywhere until Jarvis was in his 30s.
