New music from old bands
2So it seems that many old bands are making new albums... radiohead seems to be winning the publicity wars with their social media fade out... but I also heard a new red hot today...
Radiohead
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Any other old bands making new musics you all have found?

Bands tend to hit a prime. I can't think of an example of an old band that released new music that I actually liked.
@luvche21 Now itself an old album, and most everything that came after it has not been to my taste, but Iron Maiden's Brave New World was fantastic, and it came out decades after their heyday.
@luvche21 I guess it depends on if you mean they come back to making music after a long period. Radiohead never really stopped, they took a couple years off to work on other things but they're still active
@spitfire6006006 generally that's what I mean. There are quite a few that seem to get burned out after their hayday
This is actually getting a little older now, I think it's from around mid-2000s, but it was already a point where it was like, "wait, New Order is still making music?" I like it:
Radiohead and RHCP are considered "old" bands? Yikes.
Now get off my lawn, you whippersnappers!!!!
@beachbum 31 and 33 years is an eternity band wise
@thismyusername Sorry. When I think of bands that have been around forever, I think of CSN & Y, The Who, The Stones, Petty & the Heartbreakers and solo artists like Clapton, Buffett, Jackson Browne & Steve Winwood.
Just a different point of reference.
@beachbum no need to be sorry... we get it you want be the "old" person...
of the bands on your list... only Tom Petty, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Buffet and Jackson Brown have released "recent" original content... and I suspect they are not the same band members as they were originally... like radiohead and rhcp are... 30+ years with the same members is an eternity in bands...
back in my day... when you got a new album... you had to crank the player for 30 minutes just to get 10 minutes of audio... you young whipper snappers with your mpdo-dads and magento tape devices...
*grumble grumble*@thismyusername Did you hear?!?! Some damn upstart figured out how to play music off a WAX CYLINDER. These upstart youth just can't leave well enough alone.
@thismyusername @givemeyoursoul Tell me about these wax cylinder innovations, please. I'm tired of having to pay those damn wandering minstrels and bards just to hear what was new in the neighboring lands last month...
@duodec @thismyusername @givemeyoursoul
I've (probably) been laughing harder than I should have based on how this conversation has developed.
@FroodyFrog developed? You mean degenerated...
The Pixies have a new album coming out soon.
Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band, they are still going strong with mostly original members, except the ones that have died of course. He's still touring and releasing new music. He's The Boss and still totally relevant, even though sometimes wrong politically ;) ...
