Thread: Bands that have gotten "better" with time.

Do we have to only cite contemporary bands? I think the Beatles are the ultimate example.

Pink Floyd too, no?

Well, to a certain extent.

I agree with Fugazi.

How about Green Day? Never been a huge fan, but you can tell they have learned to actually play their instruments better in more complex arrangements over the years, and not just power through punk chords.

as much hate as they get around here, i agree. i grew up listening to them and i think they've evolved successfully over the last 20+ years.
for small town middle school aged me, green day was my gateway into punk (& pop punk) and they've aged along with me so that grown up me still enjoys their entire catalog.

I think Stadium Arcadium is a masterpiece.

But I think their best album is "By The Way".

Every song is brilliant.

Especially the ones that didn't get the radio love, like "Midnight", "Universally Speaking", and "Dosed".
