Who were the most stable group?

[irocfan]

Being a lover of Rush I was always impressed at how stable they were as a group after their change to the late, lamented, Neil Peart which got me wondering which is the most stable band.

Whilst Rush are, I would imagine, right up there can anyone beat ZZ Top - 50 years with the same lineup (I've just finished watching the Netflix docu)

It's got to be U2, surely.

Nope, - though to be fair they've been around at lot longer than I realised

The Stones? Even with their line up changes they've probably been stable for longer than most groups have existed

This. Mick, Keith and Charlie for nigh-on 60 years?

Fairport Convention.

Nope the stones had personnel changes in the 70's and 90's

I think U2 were the longest/oldest band touring with the same members since inception

Rolling Stones would edge them with their 4 current members but they are not the same original members

See above. Sparks were touring when U2 were in nappies.

Ditto ZZ Top
