Robert Pollard was in his late 30's when Guided By Voices were releasing their best and most popular material

Agreed. It seems like his music never loses its youthfullness

>>74123316
bump this thread. thers still hope lol

Alan vega of Suicide was in his late 30s when their debut came out.

In the psychedelic band Spirit, the guitarist step-father was the drummer.

Kim Gordon was in her 30s by he time Sonic Youth started getting shit done.

Lisa Germano was in her 30s when she began releasing music of her own.

Leonard Cohen was in his 30s by the time he released his first album.

Yo La Tengo like in the OP.

Gira was like 29 when Filth came out.

Incubus. Make yourself didn't drop until they were all in their 30s.

Didn't know that about Spirit :0 that's weird but also pretty tight

>>74123584
really?

>>74123588
Yeah iirc the step father lived all the way until 2012 in his 90s

>>74123615
Famously, yes. It was all the magazines at the time liked to tout about their breakout being so late in their lifespan. And they formed in fucking high school! Family values tour put them in the map. The rest is history.

Even though ok computer came out when most of them were 29, I'd argue radiohead.

>>74123666
Well imo In Rainbows is like their 2nd prime so you aren't wrong

bump out of interest

>>74123584
>>74123615

Gwen Stefani was in her late 30's when she was at her solo peak.

Ninja (Watkin Tudor Jones) and Yolandi Visser from Die Antwoord are very fucking old. Waddy did not found Die Antwoord until he was well into his late 30s.

Seasick Steve didn't release his first album til he was, what, at least in his late 60s?

Jack White was 42 when he released his first album (with The White Stripes)

Kanye did not release anything successful until his late 20s.

Damon Albarn of Blur was 55 when they released Parklife.

Annie Clark

>>74123402
I'm constantly telling myself this to give myself hope. It's also worth mentioning that he'd put out MANY albums which had basically no audience before this one.

>>74123316
>Ira was 43 when And Then Nothing was released
Damn...

>>74124394
Damon Albarn isn't 50 yet
Jack White is currently 42 years old

kevin shields was 72 when he released loveless

Scott Walker is the pleb's answer, but based anons like myself know he peaked in the late '60s

>>74126024

Nope.
Albarn is 49.
Jack White is 42.
Ninja is 42 and Yolandi is 33.
Kanye was 27, so almost I suppose.
Not arguing Steve.
Good job anon.
