It was thirty years ago today...

One of the top bands in the "You love 'em or hate 'em" category, Rush, is celebrating their 30th anniversary this year with a tour that will see them playing in front of European audiences for the first time in quite a while. Here's a decent piece on this from Billboard Magazine.

NEW YORK (Billboard) - Geddy Lee didn't know it at the time, but on his 21st birthday -- July 29, 1974 -- he and his bandmates hit a career lottery.

That was the day Neil Peart joined Lee and Alex Lifeson in their band Rush. When Peart replaced drummer John Rutsey, he cemented a lineup for the Toronto-based trio that has lasted for 30 years, with Lifeson on guitar and Lee on bass and lead vocals.

This brings us to the trivia question at hand, which will replace this week's "Crappy 80's Song of the Week" post. Name another rock band that has stayed together at least 30 years, while continuing to release new music and tour without ever changing their line-up.

Hint - it's not the Rolling Stones. They had about 17 years between Ron Wood joining the band and Bill Wyman jumping ship.
