Subject: Bands that had mainstream relevance more than two decades?
Written By: joeman on 01/02/09 at 6:12 pm
What I mean here, that bands that stayed revelant in mainstream for multiple decades? This excludes bands that were forgotten for one decade but got revelant again like AC/DC.
My guess, Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, and possibly Tom Petty.
Metallica might join them in a couple of years.

How about the Rolling Stones, or maybe Yes, the Moody Blues also comes to mind as well as Neil Young.

Hmmm, are solo artists included? (Should be)

Good call on those.
How about Billy Joel, Sly & Family Stone, and C.C.R.?
Also multi-decade solo artists - I think that includes artists like Elvis, James Brown, Paul McCartney (solo), Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin.

Are we talking bands that have lasted and still have influence today?

Bands that stayed revelant in mainstream for multiple decades can mean a lot of things.

April Wine had 27 consecutive hits in Canada between 1971-1982, scoring atleast 1 Top 40 hit in each of those years. Their music is still a staple on Classic rock radio stations
as Philip Eno mentioned Cliff Richard, most success in the mainstream of artists should be defined by country, and speaking of the UK, how's about Status Quo?

Bryan Adams, last seen in the US Hot 100 in 1997. Still going strong in other parts of the world most notably the UK and Canada
Saw him recently on a bunch of US talk shows promoting his 11th album (aptly titled '11') and the single "I Thought I'd Seen Everything" but alas, no US success was to be found
