What favourite bands/artists from our teens and 20s are still putting out good music?

[-]

Luzon79@reddit

Same. Their last album was a masterpiece and they are still playing live. Looking forward to their next album in early retirement 🤣

[-]

Is Fear Innoculum their newest? I thought that was a dud. No hooks, no choruses, just rehashed jam band shit. Maynard even said they wrote that album with them all living in different places. It’s a pieced together edit album. Just didn’t have cohesion. Listened to it a few times and limped away sadly.

[-]

MartialBob@reddit

I think one of the biggest differences with their newest album is that they are focusing less on Maynard and more on the rest of the band. I had the opportunity to see them live. And I didn't realize how much Maynard isn't in the new album.

[-]

Luzon79@reddit

Yeah I get that. I did feel the same way when it was released but it has grown a lot on me and the songs sound amazing live!

But I understand the critism.

[-]

Gor-Gor_Returns@reddit

I was looking for this. Last album was great. Unfortunately also pre-covid.

[-]

gbyrd013@reddit

Pearl Jam, 311, Goo Goo Dolls, Collective Soul

[-]

HipHopGrandpa@reddit

Collective Soul concerts are special.

[-]

HoudinisBox@reddit

Better Than Ezra. I'm definitely biased because they are my favorite band, but their new music is still fuckin' great.

[-]

HipHopGrandpa@reddit

They put on a great live show too.

[-]

sh0ckwavevr6@reddit

Tool still pretty impressive

[-]

NW_Forester@reddit

I'm looking forward to their next release which will be probably what, 2034?

[-]

Content-Seaweed-6395@reddit

yeah an album every 10-20 years is not exactly consistent even if they are good. That being said I really couldn't get that into 10,000 days. It isn't "bad" but to me it also isn't "great" it is just a tool album

[-]

the_ballmer_peak@reddit

They've released an album since that one. I thought 10,000 days had some great tracks. Fear Innoculum just sounds like a rehash of a Tool song I've heard before.

[-]

Content-Seaweed-6395@reddit

Yeah exactly, that is what 10,000 days felt like too, nota bad thing but it just makes me want to go back and listen to the songs that sound like they inspired the new ones. They have a very distinct sound and way of playing so it is hard to get too outside of that box. I think that is probably why Maynard has so many other projects. I love them still though

[-]

the_ballmer_peak@reddit

I totally disagree on 10,000 days. There are a bunch of of standout tracks.

Vicarious, The Pot, Right in Two, and 10,000 days are all great, unique works.

I'd throw in Jambi and Rosetta Stoned as second tier but also good. The rest are a little forgettable, but that's still more than half the album.

[-]

Content-Seaweed-6395@reddit

it has been a few years since I listened to it, I need to go back and give it a another chance. Albums tend to grow on me over years of not getting it when it first came out.

[-]

HipHopGrandpa@reddit

You’re forgiven for not being hooked by their last album. It had zero hooks. I’m okay if they stop making albums, if that Pro Tools Frankenstein songwriting is the best they can do.

[-]

CarolinaHeinz@reddit

Rumor they are having a run at Sphere. It’s perfect for Tool. I’ll be there if they do.

Tori Amos

Stop_Already@reddit

Ocean to Ocean was spectacular!

I haven’t been blown away by the two tracks I’ve heard for the up coming album, though.

[-]

Content-Seaweed-6395@reddit

I will always love her, but starting on the The Beekeper IDk something felt different. I think maybe she got all her angst out on everything up until Scarlets walk is untouchable. I have listened to everything since then and just not been able to get it. I think it also has to do with where you are when you hear certain things and I needed those early albums a lot more than her later ones, if that makes sense ha. I need to go back and give them all a listen including Oceans, admittedly I don't even remember listening to Oceans but I know I did. Sometimes albums grow on me years and years later and I would love her to be one of those. Would be actually pretty nice right now, life is kind of weird these days I think for everyone!

[-]

Stop_Already@reddit

Oh that album was totally meh. I 100% agree with you there. I kinda forget about it, it was so bad. Ahahahaha.

[-]

Content-Seaweed-6395@reddit

Congrats on your healing! I will have to go back and give it a serious listen, I think that one came out during or right after covid? That time is kind of a blur LOL

[-]

Stop_Already@reddit

Thanks! And yep - Oct ‘21. It’s crazy how much of a blur ‘20-‘22 are. We’ve probably all try to forget it happened, tbh.

Holy shit, Ive seen every one of these bands!

[-]

squarebodynewb@reddit

Same. In the last 2 years or so. With both of my kids as well.

[-]

JimmyJohn_5150@reddit

It was mid 90's when I saw the bulk of them - for sure Helmet, Sepultura, Tool, and the Reverend.

[-]

squarebodynewb@reddit

Guessing you live in TX then?

[-]

JimmyJohn_5150@reddit

OK. I want to say Revered came to St Louis or KC sometime recently, like the past year but I might be imainging that.

[-]

squarebodynewb@reddit

Youre correct. A family member in st josephs(?) Near StL had mentioned it

[-]

JimmyJohn_5150@reddit

No, Missouri. But I did see the Deftones in Austin in 1997-98 (thereabouts)

[-]

squarebodynewb@reddit

Haha! I just travelled to Cleveland to see them last year. A good Bday gift for my son, he agreed!

[-]

squarebodynewb@reddit

Wait seen them all recent except NIN and the cure.

[-]

NW_Forester@reddit

Mike Patton has been consistently rocking in his own way for over 30 years now and I think he's got at least another 20 years in him.

[-]

proportional-porcini@reddit

If I could pick out a super group frontman Mike would be it!

[-]

NW_Forester@reddit

I think this could work in very specific instances, like release an album where every song is a different genre yet still cohesive.

Vocals - Mike Patton

Guitar - Omar Rodriguez-Lopez

Bass - Thundercat

Drums - Questlove

Producer / keyboard - Trent Reznor

Guest starring: Bjork and Jacob Collier on different tracks. And if we get a time machine, Prince as well.

[-]

proportional-porcini@reddit

Maybe throw Danny Carey in there as drummer. Id love to see what Patton does with off time signatures.

[-]

MrsDonaldDraper@reddit

This is what I came to say. Mike Patton is hands down my favorite musician and I’m in support of everything he does….that’s not to say I wouldn’t love another FNM album/tour. His latest album with the Avett Brothers is fantastic. His voice is still incredible.

[-]

Original-Affect-4560@reddit

He’s got a current interesting collaboration going on with The Avett Brothers right now.

[-]

Andro_Hypnosis66840@reddit

Isn't that Sublime? LoL

[-]

TAckhouse1@reddit

Sublime is another great but their lead singer tragically died in 1996. Led to a 10+ year gap where they didn't tour until they became Sublime with Rome.

[-]

WeenisPeiner@reddit

Sublime is back with Brad's son Jakob taking over as frontman.

[-]

snarkwithfae@reddit

Sublimes new album comes out in June. Jakob sounds just like Bradley. Beach Juggalo season is back!

[-]

robbiearebest@reddit

It's pretty cool all the original members are still at it

[-]

TAckhouse1@reddit

26 years and counting! Agreed, super impressive. I just saw them in March and they still put on a great show

[-]

coarse_glass@reddit

I think they formed in 89. They put out Damnit! in 1990. SA joined in 91. So 35 years with the same lineup and counting

[-]

Gotta be longer than that. I saw them in the 90s

[-]

icequeen669@reddit

The Prodigy!! Their albums sound familiar yet fresh!

Few-Mention6650@reddit

Josh Scogin never misses. Chino Moreno is putting out good non-Deftones stuff with Crosses. Greg Puciato and his Black Queen project is very good as well

[-]

Pearl Jam. Fell in love with them when I was 12 and they’re still putting out great music and touring

[-]

jtho78@reddit

The last couple of Gorillaz albums were fantastic. Check out the latest music video, its like a Bluth/Ghibli mashup

De La Soul

Wu-Tang Clan

LL Cool J's The Force felt like a lost album from the early 90s

I liked Beck Hypersace a lot. I didn't know about his 2020 album until now, going to check it out.

[-]

Meghistaken@reddit

The Gorillaz's new song "The Happy Dictator" seems to have introduced a bunch of people to Sparks, which pleases me immensely. They've been putting out bangers since the 70s and aren't stopping, even though they're in their late 70s/early 80s! Saw them last year and it was such a fun concert!

Out of everyone mentioned here, Deftones are the only ones that have modern albums on par with stuff they made 25 years ago.

ProfessorDull9594@reddit

That’s what I thought. I hadn’t listened to them much lately, but YouTube started feeding me “ My Mind Is A Mountain” last summer, and I was rehooked.

[-]

illprobablyeditthis@reddit

They were going to be my answer. Its pretty impressive considering how different their first album is compared to their newer stuff, but its all good.

[-]

There’s also a big scene of new ‘post-grunge’ bands building on the Deftones style. Some are pretty good. Recommend Moodring, Fleshwater and Soul Blind.

I was a huge fan up until around my college years.I took a Metronorth train down to NYC early in the morning back in 1999 to line up early and sit front row at a free concert in Central Park.

Definitely one of the best memories from the summer after graduating high school.

I'm working on introducing my kids (10 & 8) to them now. I feel like my 10yo son should really take to them, but I don't know how it'll go without having Tiny Toons be the bridge to their music.

Failure, Pixies, NIN, Underworld (techno band that did the Trainspotting soundtrack.)

[-]

toasterb@reddit (OP)

Underworld (techno band that did the Trainspotting soundtrack

Well, they were on the soundtrack with the iconic Born Slippy that played over the end of the film.

There were lots of incredible tracks on that soundtrack, and it really broadened my exposure to electronic music outside of the mainstream stuff we got in the US. I did a deep dive on Underworld and Bedrock in college.

Damn, I wish we still had soundtracks like that, the Crow, Batman Forever, etc.

[-]

ScientistAsHero@reddit

Yeah I guess I misspoke - Iggy Pop and a bunch of other artists were on that too. I just remember seeing the movie in 96 and got interested in Underworld. Been a lifelong fan ever since.

Singles was another good soundtrack. We had some bangers back then that's for sure.

[-]

toasterb@reddit (OP)

Thanks for recommending Underworld to me once again! I listened to Strawberry Hotel, their 2024 album, on the way home and it's an absolute banger!

Oblivion With Bells (2007) and Barbara, Barbara, we face a shining future (2016) are really phenomenal. I like most everything they've done (to varying degrees) but those stand out.

Wilco. Belle and Sebastian. Sufjan Stevens. Clem Snide. Andrew Bird. They’re not all bangers all the time, but there have been some really great albums in recent years that amaze me and make me feel old simultaneously.

Admittedly, I started listening to all of these bands in college, not high school.

I have loved Damon Albarn’s music since 1992. First as a huge Blur fan, and now with Gorillaz. The Mountain is a supreme album.

Green Day and Blink 182’s most recent records are SOLID.

[-]

CuriousLands@reddit

Yeah a few actually!

Billy Talent and Blindside have been favourites of mine since the mid-00s and they still put out new music here and there, and I think it's still good.

Mother Mother started up in my late 20s and I got right into their music, and they still release good music too. They had album come out last year, iirc, and it's got lots of good songs.

I agree about Weezer though, their newer music is pretty flat. I didn't care for anything after the Green Album.

[-]

GrizzlyAdam12@reddit

Pixies and Weezer….but, not nearly as good as the old stuff.

Foo Fighters. Their previous album was really good. It was made in response to Taylor Hawkins and Dave Grohl’s mom both passing away about a year apart from each other, so it’s pretty raw and emotional. They dropped it without warning, when there was a lot of speculation about the future of the band and didn’t do any promotion or touring for it. They have a new album coming out in 2 days.

[-]

The new Smashing Pumpkins album is their best… and I bought Gish on cassette back in the day.

[-]

toasterb@reddit (OP)

I certainly didn't mean it to be. I got a few electronic music tips, but I'd love to hear more from other genres.

I feel like a lot of my hip hop interests have disbanded/gone inactive (Outkast, Digable Planets, Pharcyde) or had a member pass away (Tribe). Would love to find which other favourites from back in the day are still making good music.

[-]

MrNinoBrown1906@reddit

The longevity of those genres are fine. Its just the demographic of thos sub as you put only thinks about one genre. I can go in others and old school hip hop abd RnB are discussed.

[-]

WampaWon@reddit

I really like pearl jam's newer music as much as their older music. It's evolved with them as they get older. It's not just the band trying to do the same thing over and over. I find myself relating to several songs an album as I age with them

Green Day released an amazing album about two years ago.

The Gorillaz just put out a legit contender for album of the year.

[-]

TenaciousBe@reddit

Foo Fighters are still doing their thing. I don't think anyone would have faulted them if they'd kicked back, rested on their laurels, and lived off their Everlong / Best Of You / Times Like These greatest hits collection, especially after losing Taylor a couple years ago, but they're still at it. New album is coming out this Friday and from the leadoff singles, sounds like there's an old school punk vibe going on. Bit of a departure from their stadium rock but I'm excited for it!

[-]

toasterb@reddit (OP)

Hmm, I've long lumped them in the category of old bands that are still active but not putting out music that I like.

I'll give the album a listen, they could definitely use a bit more edge in recent years.

I can get into AFI's new stuff. Sort of lost track when they went emo, but I've been going back and listening to a lot of that stuff too, and it's pretty good!

Sepultura is putting out a new EP tomorrow. I like their new guy.

Also like a lot of Alice in Chains' new stuff and their new (although he's been there probably 15 years) singer.

The only one I can think of that I was super into that is still active is Trent Reznor. Most other bands/artists either had their inevitable meltdowns, died, or got to a point where they felt their work was complete.

and that just artists/bands that have released something in the last ~3 years and not including solo or side projects. probably more if 2020 was the base line for “new”.

plus there are a lot of acts still touring without new material, or putting out stuff that i didn’t check out or like but im sure others do.

[-]

Serious_Lettuce6716@reddit

None. The only one I can think of that is still making music at all is the Foo Fighters but I haven’t sought out their new music since the 00’s. Though imo most artist/band’s best work is their first album or first “on the map” album and then they get progressively worse with each subsequent album until I totally lose interest.

Jimmy Eat World has been remarkable consistent over the years. Nada Surf too.

But the ultimate in career longevity and quality has to be Superchunk, imho. They just keep putting out great albums that are every bit as good as their early 90s stuff!

EMF put out a decent album last year.

Dinosaur Jr doesn’t really put out bad albums.

Shonen Knife is always consistent delivering bubble gum punk about eating food and taking baths.

Placebo’s last album was a great return to form after a kind of dud album.

The Cure’s last album is one of their best.

NIN has always been putting out fantastic albums and even better live shows (that Coachella Nine Inch Noize set was unreal)

An argument can be made for Flaming Lips, Beck, Blur, and a bunch of others. I just think that a CB lot B of artists put out a stinker, and everyone falls off and stops paying attention.
