Crazy to think that Kim Gordon was already in her 50s when Sonic Youth made it big.

Who are some other artists that found success later in life?

she was in her 40s

>>126954277
those knees and inner thighs say otherwise

Underworld were in their mid-40s when Trainspotting came out.

Dudes are pushing 70 and I just saw them live last year - Karl Hyde can still dance like a molly'd up tween, it was fucking amazing.

Alan Vega was almost 40 when the first Suicide album came out.
Scatman John was an unknown jazz musicians before he found success with a dance album at 53

>>126954226 (OP)
Debbie Harry was 31 when Blondie's debut came out

remember: David Geffen the highest ranking occult priestess at the time told her to wear dresses with no bra and makeup and bounce around on stage or he wouldn't send their recordings to the ritual room where they summon demons onto the magnetically documented master tapes guaranteeing success.

Sonic Youth never had much commercial success, so I guess she didn't listen to him.

How many squats can she, asking for a friend

>>126955124
This shit happened to my buddy back in in winter of '85.

Colonel Sanders didn't sell his first fried chicken til his mid 60s

They were like in their early 50s when they had their first real commercial hit.

>>126955141
your buddy is Peter Gabriel?

KFC colonel was in his 60's btw

They should just reform without her. She was the shittest member of the band anyway. 90% of the time her singing sounded completely retarded.

Sia was almost 40 when Chandelier came out.
Until then she was mostly known in Australia.

>>126955165
They were very big in Spain, so that was only a chapter in their very long and fruitful career

Mark Lanegan was 38 when Songs For the Deaf came out

Andy Summers was like 35 when The Police released their first album

>>126954226 (OP)
I will. Eventually

>>126956786
She wasn't bad in the 80s when she was using more of a half-spoken style and their music was more atmospheric. Songs like Beauty Lies in the Eye, Pacific Coast Highway, The Sprawl, etc.
Once they went for a more direct sound in the 90s, she started screeching like an actual spastic over everything. I can't tolerate it and skip most of her songs on the 90s-00s albums.
They could manage without her but they'd need a suitable replacement. That nerd from Pavement doesn't even cut it on bass, never mind contributing creatively, doing vocals, or having any charisma.

>>126955055
Alan Vega lied about his age for decades
Thats all you gotta do
Just lie lmao

>>126957400
I like her vocal on Starpower even if it's back in the mix.

Serj was 35 when Toxicity came out

>>126957418
>how do you do, fellow kids?

>>126957519
It's not listed anywhere, but I've always heard that as Kim and Thurston singing in unison with Thurston's vocal turned down low in the mix. He wrote it and sang it in live performances, so she probably sang over his vocal take for the album version.
But yeah, she does sound good on that one.

Fuck off, Bono

Nobody can tell how old you are until it is extremely obvious
People think I'm like 20-22 for some fucking reason even though I'm 29 with a receding hairline and grey hair

Gerard Way was 37 when MCR first signed with a label

>>126958712
Enormous cope. People just can't be fucked to state the obvious. No-one thinks you're 20 but they're not going to bother when you say "guess my age haha, everyone thinks im 20-22 haha!"

>>126958712
I'm 39 and people at Alcoholics Anonymous and work always tell me I look much younger, but when I look in the mirror I only see a fat old fag lol

elvis presley was 42 when he released "jailhouse rock"

>>126955124
Isn't David Geffen notoriously gay?

>>126959300
Yep, bent out of his head.

>>126959533
I heard he loves cocks, cum, and light fingerings

The Wiggles was 44 when they released 'Fruit Salad'

>>126954226 (OP)
Mark Sandman from Morphine.

He also died on stage cos he forgot he was old and decided to smoke plenty of cigs n gunga and then jump around at high altitude in the middle of an Italian summer. RIP ol' son. Twas great while it lasted.

>>126956786
yeah was such a cuck move to not carry on. they couldve just waited a few years to let the dust settle then started making records again. Ibold or someone else, it wouldnt have mattered.

Most of these examples were already gigging in bands since they were young, they just had their first hit later than most

What a surprisingly optimistic thread

>>126956971
Sia had years of writing huge hits for other artists prior to her own breakthrough though.

Shelly Long was in her 40's when she broke it big on Cheers.

Goethe was 82 when he published part 2 of Faust
