I was looking at some discographies for some famous bands and I was really surprised how many old “legacy” bands are still putting out new music.

A few examples:

Chicago

most recent album: 2014


Earth, Wind & Fire

Most recent album: 2014

ZZ Top

Most recent album: 2012

ELO

Most recent album: 2015

Styx

Most recent album: 2017

Kansas has a recent one.

Depends on what you consider original.

I kind of feel bad about not giving new music from favorite old bands a chance, which I did do for Kansas since they were playing some new stuff at a recent concert, and I actually enjoyed it. But to be honest, I haven't listened to it since (the new stuff, I'm still discovering old Kansas I enjoy).

My personality is that I normally don't tire of things I really like, including music. I've collected so many CDs over decades (same with movies, although not all of my VHS tapes have been replaced with DVD/BR yet [take good care of your stuff and it might last you a lifetime, whether you want it to or not]).

It's just that I have so much to listen to already, I'm oversaturated and don't need new music, even from old bands.

I’ve heard that The Kinks are getting back together to make a new album.

You are not alone! I have the same situation with many of the legacy/classic bands that I love.


I don't have any albums from Rush post 2000.

I never bothered with anything from Styx after "Mr Roboto".

"Tango in the Night" is the most recent album I have from Fleetwood Mac and that came out 31 years ago!
