What phases of your favorite musicians you like more?the early days or latter years?.

Many artist aren't develouped at the early stages of their careers

but somehow i'm always for the

youthness and a bit of naive in my favorite artists.

I feel that at the beginning artist do their craft more from the hear ,less proffesional,more

raw and gritty.

At their latter career they get into comfort zone,more proffesional,more defined,but more safe with less suprises.

examples of the artis who were the best in their youth:

Bruce Springsteen

Eric Clapton

Prince

Led Zeppelin

...

one rare example of artists soundid always great are Duran Duran

As long as I like the music, I don't care if the artist was 99 years old tbqh.

With the artists that I like, it doesn't matter.
They come out of the box great and get better over time.
Even if they're still around when their skills start to slip, like Ali they learn to adapt and continue.
(Example: Miles, Jimi, Aretha, Soulive, King's X, etc)

It don't matter.

It doesn't matter to me.

In most cases I find that the first ten years or so are the best. There are exceptions but not many musicians make better music in their second decade than they did in their first.

I generally prefer veteran acts with a lot of albums behind, that allows me to analize her/his/their full career, enjoying both the masterpieces and the turds, watching the whole picture, which is pleasant, very pleasant...

I have a norm: I don't care for young/current acts/bands; why? I don't wanna feel cheated, I'm tired of promissing bands/artists that only last two or three albums, leaving a bitter, empty taste in my mouth...Adele, for example, could be the next Alanis M for all I know...

It matters not a jot.

Doesn't matter to me.

They always seem more genuine and down to earth when they first start out. Before they get destroyed by the madness. You can usually tell when someone's "made it." The phoniness kicks in.

Oasis let me down, Suede let me down, The Spice Girls let me down, Amy let me down, LCD Soundsystem let me down, and likely Roisin Murph will let me down...

you just can't trust young folks these days, their careers are not meant to last...

I WILL PROVE YOU WRONG

I perfer them younger, mostly because if I wanted to see them live, they could actually perform instead of falling asleep. Album wise I could care less.

There's always Cheap Trick. They have been going strong for about thirty-five years now.

Funny.

Meanwhile, a 50+ year old Sharon Jones can out-work (sing/perform/entertain) most acts half her age.
