I've got everything they ever released, apart from the last couple of live albums/DVDs which I never got round to. And I do still love them, although there have been a few missteps along the way. Probably called it a day at the right time though.

I'll post this just because...
Loved them since I was a teenager back in the early 80s. I think own pretty much every single and Album they've ever produced and seen them live over 20 times.
The Black Keys
Discovered them by accident almost 20 years ago..I used to follow an unsigned band from New York on Myspace and they had Black Keys live bootleg recording on their myspace page playlist. They are the only other band that I have purchased a physical copy of all their albums and still do. Dans solo albums and side project The Arcs was also great.
John Mayer
Rattlesnakes remains one of my favourite two or three albums ever recorded, and probably always will.

New JDB solo album out next week
I often think about bands who've been going for 30 or 40 years and are still releasing albums.... go to see them live and they'll play one or two new songs, but the bulk of the set will be classics. No one - fans or band - believes, deep down, that any of those new songs will ever be seen in the same light as the old ones.
And with the albums, I'll still buy the new ones, play them once or twice then forget them and keep playing the old stuff. But is the new material really that much worse than the old? 1970s albums by most bands were generally pretty patchy, with a handful of "filler" tracks, but I grew to love those tracks and still do - I'm not just kidding myself that I like them. But my mind isn't capable of going through that process to accept the new material in the same way.
Do bands go through a magical period, usually in their early years, which they can never recapture? Do fans go through a period where they just connect with a particular band in a way which lasts, but can't be repeated? Maybe it's just part of the ageing process, part of your brain is still 15 years old and always will be.

I saw every gig I could get to around then, shook Hetfields hand at the warm up WS did before they opened up Donnington 96.
Some of their best stuff has been the later albums with only Kory Clarke remaining of the original line up, and the only music I have bought this year is the 2020 remastered version of the spin off band Space Age Playboys, which dropped through my door yesterday, honestly sounds amazing for a 23 year old record.
Criminally under rated band, and the album they recorded as a fuck you to Geffen when they had been screwed over, Chill Pill, is probably in my top 10, with Pistols, Zeppelin, GnR, seriously great album.
Many different eras since the late 80s, but the recent run of albums is prolific and still surprisingly strong.
