Thread: Are they still together after all these years?

  1. #26
    The Nits have at least 2 original members and Robert Jan Stips, who was a member on most of their albums.

    Other examples:

    Marillion with Fish (not an original member)
    Marillion doesn't Feature an original (founding) member since Script

    Current lineup consists of

    Lead Vocalist No.3
    Guitarist No. 2
    Keyboardist No. 3
    Bass Player No. 3
    Drummer No. 5

    Hawkwind
    Hawkwind never had a stable lineup fo more than 1 or 2 years. I guess there might have been up to a hundred guys and girl(s) in the band by now.

    Some less proggy bands:
    Pure Prairie League
    Aztec Two Step (local boys) - both originals
    David Bromberg Band - he outlasted his first two bands
    Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen
    Marshall Tucker Band - not many originals
    Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes - New album in 2015
    The Monkees - No Davy but new album
    plus some long lasting soloists are still on the road - Don Maclean (still in fine form), Gordon Lightfoot (who has lost his voice), Leo Kottke, Al Dimeola, John Mayall,
    The Culture Cafe, Sundays 6-9am on WWUH-FM
    Broadcasting from the University of Hartford, CT at 91.3FM, streaming at www.wwuh.streamrewind.com and at www.wwuh.org

    I recommend Wishbone Ash. The current lineup has been together far longer than any of their other lineups and has been doing 100+ shows a year for the past decade.
    I remember tomorrow

    Not true. Rothery wasn't a founding member of Silmarillion, but he has always been in Marillion.

    At least it's the most well-known line-up, that is still together.

    ^ my point was that the same 4 core members have been together for 46 of the band's 54 years. That's a helluva track record.

    You're right and they are still going strong.

    37 posts and no one's mentioned that band with the probing name that sounds better than "The Becker-Fagen Band"?

    Baxter, Dias, Palmer, Hodder, Carlton, Herrington, Bumphus and all the other partridges in pear trees over the years all played the music of "B-F", who are both still fronting that band with the probing name.

    You could put any combination of players with killer musical chops onstage, and if they were fronted by Fagen, you could still call it the probing name.
