I'd add Ian Anderson to my 'yay' list...Thick as a Brick 2 & Homo Erraticus are the best things he's done in many years...even his vocals sound good again Wink

The album Too Old to Rock and Roll' by Tull showed way back then that Anderson was a little round the bend. It and Heavy Horses leave me absolutely cold.

I heard some decent releases by some of my favorite bands the last 10 years:

John Lees' Barclay James Harvest
Ian Anderson
Justin Hayward
Fish
Saga (Michael Sadler)
Roger Taylor
Wishbone Ash (Andy Powell)
Eloy (Frank Bornemann)
Uriah Heep (Bernie Shaw)
Renaissance (Annie Haslam)

And of all the singers of back then, that still perform, the only one I think whose voice doesn't sound good anymore is Les Holroyd (the other Barclay James Harvest).

I think (by the way) that Fish officially quit. And Saga quit aswell, but I don't know what Michael Sadler will do in the future.
I don't really listen to music I don't like, so I don't know about the other old bands and singers.

Feel like it depends on how you position yourself and your material more than anything else. More or less all the classic rock bands are just preposterous doing the material they used to do.  I am very impressed with how Steve Hackett continues to produce work of such quality.

They definitely can still rock n' roll. The latest KC tour was proof of that. It's creativity that seems to fade away at a certain age...
