Modeliste. Perhaps not only the greatest band with no members to die, but also simply the greatest band ever.

Broke up, but not dead. Bob Pollard is bullet-proof.

7. I'll Go With King Crimson
To my knowledge, the original guys are all still alive, and the guys from the greatest incarnation are all alive. I think a vote for Yes might be appropriate too. The Professor

11. Isn't Steve Howe dead?
Or does he just look like he is?

20. Nah! He's Alive. He's Looked Old For 30 Years!
He must have one of those "old" faces. I saw them the first time in 1973. I thought someone's dad was playing guitar. The Professor

29. Although how many lineups did King Crimson go through?
It seems to me like it's just Robert Fripp and whoever he feels like playing with when they decided to make a new album.

14. I don't think those two diminish their work in any way
when you take their career as a whole.

40 years and still touring! Oh and before you say Brian Jones (bass player during the 60's) - just remember - he wasnt technically a member of the group before he died, so that doesnt count.

32. Like scorpions, cockroaches and Cher, Keith Richards is one of the few
things that can survive an atomic bomb explosion.

27. The fact that in 6 years, they will celebrate their 50th anniversary,
makes me feel REAL old. And I'm almost a generation younger than them. I guess time really is on their side.
