Best songs by 50+ musicians?

Sometimes I don’t know why newer songs from my favorite musicians don’t sound as great as the music from their youth. I’m not sure if it’s more the artist or me.
What are the best songs created by musicians that were over 50 at time of song being written? In theory, it seems like their 50s would be peak talent and understanding of arrangement + production.

I feel that way too, but when you hear something like Hardwired with the AJFA tone, you realize it's more recording techniques than song writing.

I didn’t count them, but:
Lulz, I misinterpreted the thread title. I’ll leave the song anyway.

Tom Petty Highway Companion (released 2006) is an underrated album. One of my favorites of his.
Mark Knopfler Tracker (released 2015) is another great album.

This could be reason not to record after 50 (or at least 70).

I think Robert Plant's voice was in pretty good shape on this song considering he was around 65-66 when he did it
