Brian Eno is the best-known member of Roxy Music and his solo stuff is unknown except to rock nerds. He’s best known probably as a producer, second, for Roxy Music, and the weird stuff only last

The only thing is that that band never had much turnover so he may be anong the 15 longest-lived members

Bon Scott?

What about Ronnie van Zandt? If we’re talkimg pute longevity, most post-reunion Lynyrd Skynyrd members were in the band for decades when RvZ was only in the band fir eight or nine.
