Longevity? Yes, Aerosmith, Bowie, Stones, are some that have covered many decades, always seem to stay relevant. Though the stones sold out to leftism here in their last effort, and that might be there last.

That stuff is too 90’s yo baby, roof on fire... Reminds me of Black Angus in Bremerton WA, and the fat girls trying to pick up a Sailor.

I like The Strokes. I always thought they would be more successful than they have been.

You Only Live Once

They remind me of The Cars

Thanks for putting Modern English - Melt With You up here. I've been fixated on that song for a ling time.

I really hated New Wave when it was new but now I find this song just sounds right.

I swear I remember hearing a DJ say Duran Duran would be the next Beatles.
