Best Bands That Have Survived 20 Years

The Ongoing History of New Music is discussing bands that were around in the 70s and continue to make music to this day.  That got me thinking about my favourite bands that were making music twenty years ago and are still making new music today.

To qualify for this list, the band must have released material in 1987 or earlier and must be still recording new music today.  Here's my top ten.

1. The Tragically Hip
2. Public Enemy
3. R.E.M.
4. Beastie Boys
5. Red Hot Chili Peppers
6. U2
7. Blue Rodeo
8. The Flaming Lips
9. 54-40
10. The Cure
