It's not longevity per se, it's just avoiding the one hit wonder and contributing* Archived Message Posted by Taz on February 12, 2025, 21:01:35, in reply to "Also longevity???" Previous Message One album of 10 great songs is equal imo to one great song every 3 years for 30 years. It's what you brought to music that matters, not how long you've been doing it. Previous Message Previous Message Jack White is also pretty influential as a guitar player as well as in the record industry I like Bad Co but they're standard fare classic rock. Black Crowes first two records were big a they were pretty influential IMO in that southern rock style, or whatever you want to call it. Joy Division/New Order was a pretty big influence on New Wave. Every tie I set foot in Cochrane's or a frat party New Order was being played No idea on Mana. I am not an Oasis fan, but the fact they are playing Soldier Field tells you all you need to know on their popularity.
