I think it is time to retire

Based on what my ears tell me the following should retire from putting out new material. Like great athletes (Michael Jordan, Jerry Rice, Jim Kelly etc.) who played long after they should have retired, these people should stop cheapening their great careers.

Rolling Stones, Neil Young, Donald Fagen, David Gilmore, Roger Waters, Elton John are some that come to mind. I would like to know what others think of these people’s efforts to keep it going. I would also like to hear of any additions to my list.

Thanks.

Donald Fagen? The latest album is all-right, not what I was hoping for but OK, but apparently you missed Everything Must Go and Two Against Nature, released within the last couple of years.

Sure glad he didn't decide to hang-them-up before he got those out.

While I accept your point, I guess I disagree with some on your list. I think Neil Young's "Prairie Wind" is a great album. Though maybe not his best, it's by far some of the best newly released music I've heard in th elast year. The Docu-movie-concert video Neil put out is also excellent. I probably will buy "Living with War" too. Same goes for David Gilmore's new one, though maybe not with the same exuberence.

I've never been a fan of Donald Fagen, and lost interest in Steely Dan after "Countdown to Ecstasy". I lost interest in Elton John after "Madman . . .", and really never much followed the Stones though I have enjoyed many of their songs, just never bought any of them.
