Did you hear Brian Oake's interview with Adam Clayton of U2 this morning? If not, check it out and note the section where Clayton explains the secret to the band staying together after 40 years.

In the spirit of U2, for today's Coffee Break we're looking for bands that are either still together with their original lineup, or even if they broke up, they never replaced anybody.

What bands do you want to hear that kept their original lineup throughout their career?
