Which one of your bands has been pivotal in the rock music scene for 30+ years?

The Band. 10 years later, I'm still grieving over Rick Danko's death.

I’m a huge fan of The Band (especially the “Brown Album” from ‘69), but the fact is their prime was very short. ...around four years (from “Music From Big Pink” through “Stage Fright”). Robbie saw the writing on the wall.

Bob Dylan is the only guy to last nearly a half century with little to no drop-off in (extremely high) quality songwriting and recording. ...although even Bob went through his dry spells.

“Big Pink” was so huge back then. Eric Clapton was very affected by and wanted to jam with them.

Rick did some great live versions of “It Makes No Difference” just him on guitar pretty much
