What boomer artists have had the most satisfying late career run in your opinion? Pic very much related.

Bowie's hero, Scott Walker.

Tom Waits in the 90s and 00s, his best work.

It’s crazy how he doesn’t have a bad album. Even his lesser 70s albums still have a lot to offer.
>>
>>130089724
*some of his 70s albums that are lesser than other 70s albums, I mean to say, lest anyone think I was shitting on the whole era.

Bowie was Gen X.

No he wasn't.

You stupid zoomers just think everyone over 30 is a boomer.

>>130090710
No, you said Bowie is a member of Gen X which was incorrect. You need a helmet on your head, lowly little pitiful retard.

Bowie was born in 1947 which is very firmly baby boomer.
>>
Warren Zevon’s 90s and early 00s work was magnificent.

Might be reaching with the "late career" part but Miles made his best work when he was in his mid 40s. Does that count?
>>
The Fall 00s and 10s output is quite solid
>>
>>130091299
I'd say the second quintet and electric eras taken together represent his middle period. If the 80s-90s are his late period, eeehhhhhhhh.
>>
>>130091299
If I had an hour left to live I’d spend it shidding and pissing on the grave of Miles Davis. I’d do it nice and slow.
>>
>>130088858
Pic related was the last worthwhile thing Bowie recorded. Past this point, everything he released was rectal sludge.
>>
>>130088858
At this point, it's contrarian to not admit it's Nick Cave

>If the 80s-90s are his late period
Oh yeah that's some of the worst garbage of his career. Tutu is just god awful.
If I had to pick a backup answer then Joni Mitchell had a lot of solid stuff during the 90s and 2000s.
>>
>>130091449
The 90s called, they want their outdated ice cold take parroted amongst dozens of lazy music journalists back.

I actually like some of his late stuff. His early 80s albums are pretty solid straightforward fusion and some of his later 80s electro-funk records are pretty fun despite sounding very dated, though at the time they probably seemed extremely modern and maybe even a little futuristic with the proto jew jack swing flourishes.
>>
>>130091548
*new jack swing

Insufferable faggot

He made it into art

>>130089598
Same, even weird since he was the childhood hero of MY childhood heroes like David Sylvian, Bryan Ferry and Robert Smith.
>>
>>130092188
How can you like those three and not at least like Low or Heroes?
>>
>>130088858
His final album was unironically really good. The 90s and 2000s are where his stuff was probably at the worst, though I do have a soft spot for Hours.

>>130089724
While I somewhat agree, Swordfishtrombones is actually kinda bad.

>>130092188
David Sylvian liked Bowie? It always seemed like he was more of a Bryan Ferry fan than a Bowie fan. His solo work also seemed to be a lot more jazz influenced which I don't think Bowie ever dabbled into, with Gone to Earth in particular being influenced by Miles Davis' Sketches of Spain.
