Ha! Some of my current favourite artists are barely older than my kids!
What's amazing is that you can hear their influences as being the music I was listening to when I was a teen through to my early 20s.
Example: Nothing but Thieves are my #1 favourite in terms of recent rockers; you can hear the Queen, Jeff Buckley, Muse, Pink Floyd influences in there. I might be hallucinating some of it, but I swear half my teen favourites are in there somewhere.
Another point; some of my favourite bands that were making great music many years ago are still putting out new albums, but they're just missing the edge now, sounding a bit formulaic.
