Who is your favorite singer that is younger than you?

male: David Sylvian (3 months younger)

female: Kate Bush (a little shy of 9 months younger)

 

Norwegian band "I Was a King" -members should be in their 20s.

 

Michael Kiwanuka

 

erm,.. not really. John Lennon Was 40 when he was shot, 40 is not old but it is not young either.

 

I bet there is some guy going to come on here and say Tony Bennet

 

Stuart Murdoch of Belle & Sebastian.

 

I like Ariana Grande. I'm four months older than her.

 

Jim James (My Morning Jacket)

Does anybody know how old Mary Lorson (ex of Madder Rose & Saint Low) is? I'm struggling to find a lady singer I like who is younger than me

Ah, just thought of one, Sarah McLachlan

 

The oldest gort in town

 

Shirley Manson.

 

Maxwell

 

Jay Buchanan of Rival Sons. Best rock singer out there right now.

 

Chris Thile

 

There are none. Every artist in my collection is older than I am and I'm 61.

 

Warren Haynes

 

Jake Bugg - He's a year younger than me.

 

Given my actual age, "Who is your favourite singer still living?" might be more apt ...

 

Brandon Flowers from The Killers.

 

Nanci Griffth,by 18 months.

 

Pharrell Williams

 

Jason Falkner, even though it's only by 2 months.

 

Tough to choose - we're talking voice alone, right? Probably one of these -

Zola Jesus
Chelsea Wolfe
Allison Mosshart from The Kills/Dead Weather
‪Sufjan Stevens‬
Karin Dreijer Andersson from The Knife
Karen O from Yeah Yeah Yeahs

and I have a soft spot in my heart for Neil Fallon from Clutch, although not sure I'd call it my favorite...but his voice is... insane.

 

I'm 53, so tons and tons and tons of them, such as, oh:

Matt Berninger
Will Oldham
PJ Harvey
Howlin' Pelle Almqvist

and dozens more. What would be interesting for me is to try to figure out the youngest one. Maybe one or both of First Aid Kit?

 

I was born in 1976 so:

-Julian Casablancas (b.1978)
-Andrew VanWyngarden (b.1983)
-Alex Turner (b. 1986)
