495. Coil - “Going Up”I don’t know if Coil fans jumped ship, I don’t think so. To me it feels like Coil made their best music late in their history, starting with Musick To Play In The Dark. This is a cover of the theme song from the long-running British sitcom "Are You Being Served?” from Ape of Naples. It was reportedly the closing song of their final live performance.
“….First floor: telephones, gents ready-made suits, shirts, socks, ties, hats, underwear and shoes…going up…Second floor: carpets, travel goods and bedding, materials and soft furnishings, restaurant and teas…going up…” ….a recitation that became a beautiful elegy

Great thread idea, but question: what qualifies as an artist's "late period?" Like what if it's an artist that hasn't been around for that long (ie ten years) but hasn't been popular in years?

Technically not a song, but whatever:
461. Franz Liszt, 'Nuages gris'
Always got the sense that pop musicians (in the broadest possible sense) tend to burn out fairly quickly while classical composers' late works are often among their very best (cf. Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Liszt, Wagner, Brahms, Debussy, Ravel, Sibelius, Nielsen, Berg, Webern, Shostakovich, etc.). There are exceptions, of course, but even those are debatable (Chopin, Schumann, Fauré, Schoenberg, Ives, Stravinsky, Messiaen, Takemitsu, etc.).
― pomenitul, Sunday, 14 January 2018 13:47 (six years ago) link
Similarly in other areas of music: John Coltrane did some of his most significant and influential work in the last 1-2 years of his life. Bill Dixon made an absolute game-changer (Vade Mecum) at 67. Cecil Taylor’s legendary Berlin residency, which included arguably his most towering work (Alms/Tiergarten (Spree)), occurred when he was in his late 50s.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Sunday, 14 January 2018 14:00 (six years ago) link
Also, Gyorgy Ligeti's Violin Concerto. Not numbering since it's not a song but it's my go-to answer for this.

Re: classical musicians, the Ligeti violin concerto is kind of a special case in that his late period found him struggling to find a style or some cohesion, but in terms of "significant late work" for Ligeti I'd put the piano Etudes way higher than the violin concerto (which has some of the most superfluous alternate-string tunings I've ever encountered)

Jazz and classical probably has many albums that qualify. In rock/folk Scott Walker, Tom Waits and Nick Cave are the ones that come to my mind and which have aged like fine wine. I could probably add like 40 songs from Tom Waits alone.

does Damon Albarn as Gorillaz count as a late period? Does 13 by Blur count? He was only 30 when the debut by Gorillaz and 13 got out but he had a decade experience with Blur by then.
Is there an age restriction or is it based on the position of the last albums in the overall discography?
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Sunday, 14 January 2018 17:16 (six years ago) link
so far it mostly feels like "after the world moved on" which i think is fine... thread could theoretically work as a signpost for fans of the more famous stuff to check out this one song and realize hey, they kept on making music, and it was good! though i imagine ilm is the kind of place where most people already know all the 'late work' of artists they like.

nah i mean do whatever you want, it's not my thread anyway! plus i think comebacks of whatever kind count in the sense that people may not be expecting them to be good, they are "late" in the sense of no longer being in the moment/movement that they once seemed a part of, records that land independently of larger forces and come out of whatever that artist is pursuing in their own path, whatever.

I rate those tracks, and other on their 00s albums, above a lot of their prime time hits, eg "Love Like Blood", though for some reason I haven't caught up with their last two albums.

can a band that only lasted five years qualify for this thread? seems like an artist needs to stick around long enough to pass thru their imperial phase and into the doldrums only to then come back with a late career success.

I know, still the premise of the thread hinges on artists who have lasted longer than a decade and have gone through a rough period of shoddy work/lack of commercial success. The comeback aspect seems crucial. Nirvana were a band for seven years, but I wouldn't call "Scentless Apprentice" or "Moist Vagina" examples of "late period" work.
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 23 May 2018 20:56 (five years ago) link
I think the version of "Higgs Boson Blues" off of the Live from KCRW is one of the all time great Nick Cave tunes. The slower druggy feel the live one has just fits the tune way better than the studio version which to me now sounds rushed.

imo short-lived artists can totally have meaningfully "late" periods, but yeah, picking songs out of those isn't necessarily super interesting since with a small discography it's likely most fans know those tracks... just for me personally the fun thing is artists who have standout songs from deep in what most listeners would assume are the weeds, where you could plausibly be a "fan" of that artist and never checked out whole albums of dubious-looking late stuff. ymmv tho!

I'm disappointed this thread died in its infancy. Mainly I was just hoping to uncover great post-2000 songs from the corny bands I listened to in the '90s. (I stopped being a regular consumer of music in 2000.)
Sonic Youth, Yo la, BTS, Will Oldham, Blonde Redhead, Wu Tang guys, Robyn, New Pornos, Broadcast, Chan Marshall, Mary Timony, Natalie Merchant, Thalia Zedek, Steve Malkmus, Pixies, etc etc
So many of us are now in our 40s and probably hopped off many bandwagons a long time ago and are missing out on some good stuff.
