Brett Anderson

Brett Anderson is one of those artists who refuses to fade, and I admire him for it. As the frontman and chief lyricist of Suede he defined a strain of glamorous, decadent British rock that meant a great deal to my generation. After the band split in 2003 he fronted the Tears with Bernard Butler and released four solo albums, playing guitar and keys himself, before Suede reformed in 2010 and kept touring. That androgynous allure paired with real literary instinct is rare. Aging without going soft, holding to his own aesthetic, that is the kind of stubbornness I respect.
