Senior Moments: 2011's Best Albums by Artists Over 50
Steven R Rosen, Rock's Backpages, December 2011
IN AN EFFORT TO SHOW the world – or at least its readers – that rock music continues, and often even improves, when its practitioners reach and pass 50, Rock's Backpages this year sponsors a poll of Best Albums by Older Musicians. In the case of groups or collaborations, an album counts if a significant member was 50 or older. Any kind of pop music was eligible, with an unstated understanding that at this point rock's influence can be felt in virtually all other musical styles.
