2. Ween - followed their summer tour of '99. seen 22 shows 1994-2000

3. Steely Dan - own every studio album including rarities. never seen

4. Flaming Lips - 27 years and still going strong. saw them a bunch in the 80's and not again until 2001

5. The Residents - maybe the longest running band still using the original line-up without ever taking a break, 41 years !! google them.They have done soundtracks for the Discovery channel and other similar ventures. They also did the music for the original Pee Wee's Playhouse. Saw them for the first time in 2002 after being a fan of theirs for 20 years. the reason, silly american audiences have no idea who they are so they don't play here. maybe 20 shows a year tops they will perform in the U.S. They go make their fortune in Europe. I flew to Cali to see them cuz I knew time was running out with getting a chance to see them. was worth ever stinking penny i blew to see them............maybe 125 in the crowd...unfreakingbelievable. they are performance artists/musicians that wear costumes for every performance. their identities have never been revealed, but there are people in the know .........who know. 43 full length albums plus many many ep's and other "stuff".Check out "Eskimo" an album of nothing but their interpretations of Eskimos living in the tundra of northern Canada...haunting, and received a grammy nomination.

p.s.

6. Pink Floyd - just had to let you know where they stood......hehe
