[Music] Bands from the 60s or 70s of Which Every Main Member is Still Alive

[Herr Tubthumper]

Cheap Trick

 

[pearl]

Blondie?

More 70s than 60s then, which is sadly predictable. Bands like Sabbath and Genesis might have been forming in the late 60s, but their time was really the 70s.

Bands that were big in the 60s - Beatles, Stones, The Who, Small Faces, Gerry and the Pacemakers, and American bands like the Beach Boys, Airplane, The Dead, etc. are all likely to be well into their 80s now (those that survive).

All of the original members of Kiss are still with us.

 

[pearl]

This thread is depressing

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Dire Straits

 

[marlowe]

This thread is depressing

It shouldn't be, its a celebration of all those who are still with us.
A depressing thread would be one entitled "Bands of the 60s or 70s of which at least one member has sadly passed away".
But that could be a very long (and depressing) thread.

 

[marlowe]

Anni-Frid
Agnetha
Benny
Bjorn

brilliant ABBA.

....or AABB as you have listed them

Maybe I'm over sensitive, but the way I see it is .... this thread will date.
Tomorrow, next week, next month.
I thought of a (local) band, one of them has a big birthday (party) coming up.
I didn't feel comfortable posting them so I haven't.

Someone on a FB group I am in, pointed out, that we were in our 20s in the 70s, and now in our 70s in the 20s.

.........................and hopefully some of us who were in our 30s in the 80s will experience being in our 80s in the 30s!

Genesis:
Mike Rutherford
Phil Collins
Tony Banks
plus former main members:
Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett

Phil Collins wrote an autobiography called “Not dead yet” in case anyone was unsure

 

[Comrade Sam]

I remember about 20 years ago channel 4 did a top 10 soul acts of the 1960s. Over half were dead by then and 2 more (including Wilson Pickett) didn't last the year.

 

[Invicta]

Duran Duran, 70s version seem to be hanging in there.

 

[Comrade Sam]

Has somebody said the Kinks?

 

[pearl]

Sadly at least two have passed away

 

[Comrade Sam]

Sadly at least two have passed away

Just looked it up and only Peter Quaif. The other 3 are still alive. Lesson learnt, should have checked first.

And those of us born in 62 will be 62 this year.
