I'd have to add Phish to this list too. Love them or hate them, the same line up is still packing arenas 30 plus years later.

I always thought the Doors should have done what AC/DC did 10 years later and search for a new singer. From what I read, it was unthinkable at the time to try and replace Morrison. But I think they could have taken a pause and found another great singer/songwriter to work with and who knows, they might have gotten lucky.

Why did you count KINGS OF LEON out?? The 3 brothers and their cousin on bass have not changed? Maybe I misunderstood something, just asking. Cool video either way!!

Crazy Horse? Lol you broke your own rules on the very first entry

These pedals sound really good for clean sounds and for drive tones. Great pedals- all three of them.

This is kind of a nonsense list. There are so many exceptions that the criteria are meaningless.

The greatest Canadian band; The Tragically Hip.

Fantastic. Crisp, funny. Lots of great info..(Had no clue about the post-Doors!). If I can throw an honorable mention to XTC. Though they were on the wane, the last two albums were the two songwriting-singing members and they are brilliant albums. Not touring for years didn't help. Terry Chambers is making amends for that now.

You missed out Shellac 1992 - 2024

Great list, such an amazing era of music. Glad you didnt confine yourself to the American definition of new wave.

What about Uriah Heep? Been going over 50 years, almost 30 years with one line up.

It's a bit late now - 2024 - but how about 'Minnie the Moocher' by 'The Cherokees', 1967.

A wonderful view here

This is terrific, well researched, entertaining, informative and brilliantly presented; it's great to hear a real voice and not some AI creation, or a human voice that sounds like it's AI. Nice work mate.😊

Marillion - same lineup since Steve Hogarth replaced Fish in 1989 and they have never stopped releasing music or touring.

I’m related to dick lee

Make no mistake the Beatles were and are number 1

Why didn't you tune your guitar?

white stripes aren’t a band. they’re a duo. dq them

AC/DC ?

Less talk

Kentucky Headhunters

Doing diddly squat for 5 to 10 years at a time discounts Styx, probably Pearl Jam, I gave at this point, shame some these bands didn't!

The Cars….

NoFX since 1991

Oh wow how old I am. I used to have my hair like that much to my parents and teachers displeasure. Now my grandsons have a nice short back and sides just as my parents wanted for me. 😀

The Moody Blues should have been included. The lineup only had one change from 1967 until 2018 when Ray Thomas died.

1990 doesn't feel like it was that long ago! I'm feeling old now... Still, great post, well done! I do have to take issue with your statement about Pearl Jam being the "last Seattle 'Grunge' band standing" and point out that, although they've had membership changes and a period of hiatus, Alice in Chains are still well and truly alive and performing. In fact the current line-up has been together longer than the 'original' one... about 15/16 years so far. Actually, Mudhoney are still touring too... not sure about line-up changes but it might be worth looking into if you're doing a follow up piece! Cheers.

Excellent video. Very good idea to include the honorable mentions.

Japan, already big but after Tin Drum they were on the cups of mega stardom

I saw John lee Hooker in 1970 and it was an epic ,fun show.

dude. jimi hendrix didnt go out on top of his game. he died nitwit. same with nirvana. same with the doors. you make shit up. what a dumb video

Nice video. I'll add a few groups: Queen with Innuendo, Penguin Cafe Orchestra with Union Cafe, T. Rex with Dandy In The Underworld, XTC (sort of) with Wasp Star, and Oingo Boingo with DATEOTT... No, I don't count the 1994 album. Naked was a strong album, and I consider it underrated. I think Talking Heads might have continued as a strong nineties band without Chris and Tina, had Kirsty MacColl joined David and Jerry in a new lineup, but we'll never know. However, Kirsty's involvement on Naked and Rei Momo is not something to overlook... She also went out on top with Tropical Brainstorm before her early passing.

You are being too kind with the the definition of line up the lasted 26+ years. for me it means that there were the same personal. Crazy Horse had a few people come and go over that time and did an album without Young and they went on hiatus a few times

So many bands i never heard of

I have hundreds of records, everything from 78s to punk rock and my very favorite record I have is Rose Room - Benny Goodman Sextet. I was wondering if they were going to show Johnny Burnette - Rock n Roll Trio and they DID. Link Wray is cool but I like ‘ Fat Back ‘. ( can’t figure out how to play it )

Two more Canadian bands you missed-- Sloan and The Tragicay Hip. Sloan have been together since the early 90s and the Hio since the mid 80s (until singer Gord Downie died a few years ago )

You forgot about Rush.

His surname was not pronounced Purt. Try saying it Peeut and you’ll be there. RIP Neil. The greatest drummer the world has ever seen.

Not one word about Lynyrd Skynyrd yet you put Nirvana and the White Stripes? I won't be watching anymore of your videos.

What a great document!

Since it’s still 2024, they could all split up tomorrow, and totally fuck this up.

R.E.M. should have at least been an honorable mention here.

26 years seems like an arbitrary number. Why not 25 😆

Magnificent. Before I even started I thought "The Jam should be there but they won't". In the end three of my life definers were there, plus the Beatles, every ones reference point.

Dude Oasis should definitely be in this group. They were at the top at the time of their split and 15 years later, God willing, will be back doing it again. I’m flying to London to go see them at Wembley night one

Pretty good

How about the Mamas and Papas? ‘’People Like Us’’ was a contractual obligation turkey, but their other albums are delightful.

Major omission: Phish. Same line-up for 41 years and counting. For line-up longevity, they surpass the other jam band on your list, Grateful Dead.

What about The Rolling Stones?
