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.

I'm sorry people find my thread mean spirited. To me the music coming from many of the people I named is pathetic. I just bought the new Gilmore. I would rather listen to the Chipmunk Christmas album. Like so many of these artists the Gilmore album never seems to get going. To me the last great thing out of Fagen was The Nightfly. I guess I agree to disagree with the people who found it necessary to attack me. If you enjoy the crap, well - good for you. It bores the sh** out of me.

I would love to retire - can't afford to. That aside I am sure if the quality of my work dropped by 2/3 I'm sure I would be forced to retire.
