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

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

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.

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.
