10 Rock Bands That Kept The Same Lineup

Whenever you talk about the greatest rock stars of all time, there's almost an unspoken rule that you only get one per band. Though you occasionally get pairings like Jagger and Richards or Lennon and McCartney, the public tends to focus on the singer or guitar player as the main force behind every single group that walks the Earth. Even though Muse fit pretty snuggly in that category, you can't forget the rest of this power trio bringing their trademark thunder.

Despite their Radiohead tendencies, Matthew Bellamy's way with songwriting has been a sight to behold over the years, as he takes bits and pieces from everyone from Rage Against the Machine to Tchaikovsky depending on what song you're listening to. If you venture further into the catalog though, Chris Wolstenholme is the real unsung hero behind everything, leading the pack across songs like Panic Station and being the owner of one of the greatest basslines of the '00s in Hysteria.

That's not to say Dominic Howard doesn't hold his own on his instrument either, bringing with him some of the most impressive drum performances of the modern age while also finding a delicate balance between synthetic and natural percussion. Although power trio can seem like a cliche term to use, Muse is one of those few bands that proves to have the same power as they did in the early days.
