Born 60 years ago this month . My favourite years are 1963-67 although I've found a decent amount of good music until 1989-ish and less thereafter (I've listened a lot less to music from the last 25 years too).

I'd stack my favourite '80s bands (the Smiths, Icicle Works, Chameleons, Big Country, Cure, New Order) up against the best of any decade following it and even the one before.

Some of what I know I like (predominantly) from recent years:

New Pornographers
Trash Can Sinatras
Pulp
Manic Street Preachers
Arcade Fire
Gene
Neverending White Lights
Kings of Leon

... and of course Mark Burgess (Chameleons, '80s start) is still going strong!

Ben Folds
Jamiroquai
My Morning Jacket
Belleruche

I was born at the end of the baby boom--I'm 51. I don't listen to a lot of 60's music any more except for jazz. I'm much more likely to play something from the 80's-today.

I'm 55 btw, and my tastes lean more towards roots and ethic music, but along the lines of pop/rock I'm a fan of these post-80s acts:

Neko Case
Otis Taylor
Andrew Bird
Pink Martini
Derek Trucks - Tedeschi/Trucks
Judith Edelman
Chris Whitley
Steve Earle
Watsonville Patio
Demi Dryer
The Be Good Tanyas
Chris Gaffney
Corey Harris
Beth Orton
Junior Brown
Dave Alvin
Everything But the Girl
Cranberries
Bjork
Black Angels
The Feelies
Joe Henry
Kelly Joe Phelps
Feist
David Gray
Amy Winehouse
Ani DiFranco

I do like Goldfrapp and PJ Harvey.

I also collect some newer artists like The National, William Elliott Whitmore, Lambchop, White Stripes, Alabama Shakes, North Mississippi Allstars, etc and like them fairly well. I don't find a depth of pop that holds my interest, but that doesn't mean its not there. The newer music that most interests me is stuff from Hans Theessink, Ramsay Midwood, Hassaan Hakmoun, the Toure family and similar musicians. Hopefully you find something in there that appeals to you. Out of all the ones I listed above, I think Andrew Bird is the musical genius of the bunch.

 

Pearl Jam
Nirvana
White Stripes / Jack White
Black Crowes
Outkast
CeeLo Green / Gnarls Barkley
Bruno Mars

 

Mono and Ulver

 

Just for kicks...
Joss Stone performs Incredible

 

One more,
Natasha Bedingfield

 

Not a boomer, but vastly prefer the 60s and 70s to anything else, and have found the following to be my favorites over the time asked about:

Nirvana
Cracker
Beck
Pavement
PJ Harvey
The White Stripes
Wilco
Arctic Monkeys

 

Nirvana
Sugar
The Muggs
Gloritone
The Strypes
Phillip Phillips
Haley Reinhart
Lovehammers
Brendan Benson
KT Tunstall
Dave Grohl's projects

 

I find your dismissal of the eighties to be not well founded. The charts sucked, yes. But the indies absolutely exploded.
to those who knew to search the stuff out, it was a golden era, the post-punk decade if you will, without which things like P.J. would have been unthinkable. Personally, the music of my childhood was the rock and roll fifties. and I still love the singles I loved then.
My absolute faves of the nineties include at least one album by each of the following
Sonic Youth,
Liz Phair,
P.J. Harvey,
Iris de Ment
Hole
Lucinda Williams
Pavement
Latin Playboys/Los Lobos
Yo La Tengo
Tricky
Nirvana
and the undeniable Sleater-Kinney!!! How can a band PEAK for an entire 10+ year, 7 album career?!!!
I notice that most of these are girls or girl-led bands (and that includes Sonic Youth) but
that was not my intent...weird.

 

Oasis, Greenday

 

MonaLisa Twins
Juliet Turner
Stooshe
Bruno Mars
Michael Bublé
Echobelly
Pulp
Blur
Garbage
Supergrass
Oasis
Lightning Seeds

and a lot more...

 

mainstreamish ?

Nirvana of course
Sonic Youth
NIN
World Party
Alice in Chains
Rumer
The Pixies
Oasis
White Stripes
Fiona Apple
Camera Obscura
Goldfrapp

oh Page and Plant - Walking Into Clarksdale.

yeah I know some of these made appearances pre-1990, don't sue me.

 

Not quite a boomer (I'm 45 in just weeks from now, yikes!)

I've spent many hours, enjoying all of these...

Moby
The White Stripes
Blur
The Good The Bad & The Queen (although that was just a one-off project)
Artctic Monkeys
Oasis
The Magic Numbers
Fatboy Slim
Air
Nirvana
Daft Punk
REM (I like their last couple of albums almost as much as their first)
Morcheeba

But far above everything else is Supergrass.

If I went through my collection, I could find a ton of albums that I love but only have the one by the artist in question - with Distort by Vitro the first thing that comes to mind. Have to go out soon though, unfortunately. Also, am I allowed latter-day Madonna?

Aloe Blacc, Lee Bains and the Glory Fires
Fiery Furnaces, Soundtrack of Our Lives
My Morning Jacket, The Zutons
The Decemberists, Fiona Apple
Supergrass, Black Keys
Paul Weller, Amy Winehouse
Ryan Adams, The Shins
Trigger Hippy, Aimee Mann

Kitchens Of Distinction.
Heidi Berry.
The Lost Girls.
Jim Jones Revue.
My Bloody Valentine.
The Loud Family.
