Bobby Bare, Jr. Elvis Perkins And You Will Know Us by the Trail of the Dead... Songs: Ohia M Ward The Antlers White Rabbits The Album Leaf Cat Power Manu Chao The Warlocks Mark Lanegan Wilco Vic Chesnutt Tristeza The Ravonettes Hammell on Trial Battles The Black Angels The Black Keys Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Giant Sand/Band of Blacky Ranchette

or do a number of these folks not count because they were around in the 90s, but never took a break, even if some of their best stuff was produced, new, in the 00s? Probably less nostalgic than many 48-year-olds, but I still prefer 1982-1992...
