best late career albums? (20+ years since recorded debut)
>>124429897These are all I could think of.
>>1244298971967 is still firmly mid career. Pic related is a better example.
>>124430364Technically it is over 30 years after his recording debut, but you're right because his career still had another almost 30 years to go. The length of his career is absolutely mind-blowing
>>124430469The way I break it down>1930s-1952: Early career>1952-1961: Mid career/golden age>1961-1971: Mid career/silver age>1973-1990s: Post-retirement/late career
it was fortunate they disbanded after 1976
Some soul singers cut their best records in their 40s.
>>124430319no namesok, i guess we won't check them out then
>>124431502Soul and country were always much kinder to its middle aged stars. Someone in their 40s could *become* a star in those genres. In rock and pop you have to be established for a long time for anyone to still take you seriously at that age.
>>124430508>>1952-1961: Mid career/golden ageYes.(Though September of My Years (1965) fits in perfectly with Wee Small Hours and Sings for Only the Lonely.)
>>124431513The Satanist - BehemothThe Sciences - SleepThe Bees made Honey in the Lion's Skull - EarthWitchcult Today - Electric WizardThe American IV - Johnny CashRammstein - Rammstein
Blue & Lonesome by The Rolling Stones is genuinely a great record. I'd put it up there with their classic-period records from the '60s and '70s.

Sinatra is one case where his youthful period is generally not considered his peak.
>>124430469Perry Como was a recording artist for half a century but technically Sinatra still beat him out as his career spanned 53 years (first big band sides released 1940, Duets, the finale recorded work was '93).
Does this count?
the way up by pat metheny group
Tony Bennett's recording career lasted 71 (!) years, a record unlikely to be topped any time soon.
>>124429897Tilt, The Drift, and Bisch Bosch by Scott Walker
>>124431594I feel like endless river was just the B-sides/scraps of Division Bell. Not great but not bad if you enjoyed the formerMomentary lapse only had 2 good songs
Post-reunion Dinosaur Jr albums come to mind, especially Farm which is my personal favorite
.
>when you have a consistently good discography and still release one of your best 30 years into your career
>>124430165but that was their debut
Invincible Shield is good too
>>124429897Dangerous by Michael Jackson
Aw ain't that sweet of ol' Frank to save a lady from burning to death because of an asshole with a cigarette. I hate cigarettes, I really do.
>>124438345>At 4, Yvonne appeared at the Bijou Theater in Savannah in a "Saucy Baby" show.>Saucy Baby showThis is something I'm pretty sure would get you on a government watchlist today.
>>124429897Blackstar comes to mind. >>124438301This is a great pick.
>>124438380I'd be more concerned that it was the South in the 1920s so her parents probably had a black maid and called her racial slurs every day and she had to just sit and take it.
Xiu xiu is still dropping incredible albums 20 years on
>>124438380Or hired by the government.
>>124438516You're my hero.
>>124438301MJ is cheating since he started when was like 9-10 years old. So 20 years into his career is only like early 30s which is when most artists start
>>124438516no one cares, Reddit
>>124438074It's Sabbath in all but name, Bubbles.
A real one, you fucking cunts
>>124439476not 20 years
>>124435027yeah, it's good
>>124437935genuinely great album.
>>124438573Harvest Moon is another one
bump
40 years?
>>124435507Proof that the general consensus is typically WRONG. As wrong as 2+2=5.https://youtu.be/3j_cuHoNWWUhttps://youtu.be/m27MhMAihLAhttps://youtu.be/5VPbxa0QenA
>>124435537one of the greatest albums ever?yeah, this album is the only thing that counts
>>124443115agreed
Surprised this absolute banger hasn’t been mentioned yet.
>>124429897
>>124436220Endless River was never meant to be an 'album' really exactly, just some loose ends they decided to release for anyone who may be interested.>Learning to Fly>On the Turning Away>Yet Another Movie>Sorrow>Terminal Frost (technically not a song but noteworthy)Momentary Lapse was a strong album. One Slip is a solid pop-rock song too
>>124437935
>>124445786I came here to see who posted this Unfortunately the ones that came after this weren't nearly as good
>>124446917Endgame is, more or less, Rust in Peace 2.0. I love how much it rips. Dave killed it. I think Dystopia and Sick/Dying/Dead are above average, at the end of the day. Definitely a few rippers on those records.
>>124446989Super Collider is Risk tier unfortunately I love how much Dave memoryholed that one
>>124429897Nobody really needs to remember Duets though.
>>124447062Agreed. Megadeth was marching toward metal obscurity if Dave were to have put out another “Supercollider tier” album directly after it. Thankfully though, he did not.
>>124438380yeah really. what did this show even involve anyway?
