Bands that have gotten better with age??
I think that both ALL and the DESCENDENTS have both gotten better over the years. I love the early stuff, but I just think that the new stuff is
overall stronger and the production quality is obviously better.
Usually it goes the other way and the later records a band puts out are more on the weak side....
What other bands have aged well?

Chaos UK, was a time I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole, but I like the newer stuff.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

going....

Ducky Boys
Dropkick Murphy's (in terms of the band since Al Barr took over vocal duties)

The Beatles
The Replacements
U2
Angels & Airwaves (specifically Tom Delonge when you consider his Blink 182 amateur stuff from way back before they went mainstream)
Bombshell Rocks - I loved them from their first record on but I think their newest might be their best
Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Green Day
Rancid
I'd like to think the Ducky Boys got better too. I tried to model the Ducky Boys comeback after the Replacements. Like, "No Gettin Out" and "Dark
Days" were like Sorry Ma and Hootenanny but I wanted our comeback records to be more like Tim and Pleased to Meet Me. And some people agree that we
got stronger. And that makes me feel happy. Thanks.

I'm gonna' get crapped upon from great heights for this, but I think the last 3 Motorhead albums were better than anything they've put out since
Orgasmatron. In particular Inferno.

I'd sort of agree...but I'd move it up to 1916 because when Philthy left the band the party was over. 1916 is debateably the last classic/essential
Motorhead album...Rock' N' Roll is 100% no arguement the last essential Motorhead album.
That doesn't necessarily mean they've gotten better with age...they're just going through the peaks and valleys any band around 30 years will
inevitably have. This new stuff is just a new era in a storied career...the transitional years with Dee on drums ended those few albums back and
they're writing as a unit which is always going to produce better than not.
As far as a band that actually has gotten better with age...I don't think that such a thing technically exists. If a band has a slow start and then
all the pieces fall into place they're still going to eventually go into disarray or else the band would stay together forever. No band EVER gets
better after their classic album...or it wouldn't be their classic (or a string of classics if they have a good run) there will always be a decline
after that. So any band thats better now then they were before is just going to disappoint you in the end.
