And how about a huge omision:  ZZ Top!  This band has been
together--with the same lineup, no less--continuously since 1971!
And, unlike a lot of groups in the HoF, they have been successful
throughout their career and are still touring [well, they were until
Dusty got sick]

Whatever your opinion of them, their longevity and success earns
them a spot.  What other band has had the same personnel
unchanged for 30 years?
