(discussion) the typical lifespan of a band's golden age - Darth-Apple - June 7th, 2013
With thousands of bands to listen to today, it takes many bands years to really make a name for themselves. Then of course there are many bands that become successful, then drop off after a few short years just as quickly as they hit the spotlight.
Many very good bands simply run out of creative ideas after they've hit their perfect album. More often musicians get old and lose the young sense of rock 'n roll. I'd say that few bands are lucky enough to see more than 5-10 years in the limelight of their golden years, with bands like Rush being the exception.. Any thoughts?
