I'm curious because I'm 21 and am just now buckling down and trying to do something with music for real (I have experience, but never took it as seriously as now). So let's just discuss the creative peaks of our favorite musicians and what ages they were.

Beatles: throughout their twenties, especially the second half

That's all I know! I really haven't paid much attention to the ages of other people.
Also discuss bands or musicians who didn't become great (as we know them) until many years into their career.
For example, I'm familiar with the Flaming Lips since Soft Bulletin, which was like the late nineties? But I just found out that they have been around since the 80s and have had multiple transitions (of the singer?)

PS. I don't know if I can sing. If you have some spare time, please PM me with your email address or messaging service and I'll send you something just so you can tell if I should continue singing or if I'm just like a bad American Idol contestant.
