If you go into the area of Classical Music, then definitely no. An example would be the Staatskapelle Dresden - a German orchestra based in the capital of Saxony and founded in 1548. It's considered to be the only orchestra still in existence that has played uninterruptedly for more than four and a half centuries and at the same time - as contemporary reports prove - has always been one of the leading orchestras of the various epochs.

One of the violin players was really beautiful back in the 1620s, but she's looking a little ragged these days.

This may have been discussed previously but I can’t find any such thread, so here goes my question.....
Beginning with their release of “Come On” in June 1963 to an official release of “All The Rage” via the GHS Deluxe album in September 2020, do the Stones own the current record for any musical act with the longest time span between debut and most recent official releases of unique songs (i.e. excluding re-issues) at 57 years, 3 months? Or can someone else lay claim to a longer span (perhaps a solo artist has had a longer career output of new material, but certainly not a band)?
Thanks all!

That's not relevant to the question, though.

Stones will have to stay alive, active, and keep recording and releasing music all the way to 2040
to top the world record currently held by Kaspar "Stranger" Malone,
a U.S. musician whose lifetime recording career prior to his passing in 2005 lasted 77 years,
from 1926 to 2003 -- that's 8 consecutive decades.

As far as bands go, the one that springs to mind for me is The Blind Boys of Alabama. Formed in 1939, first release was 1948 and most recent album - a collaboration with Marc Cohn called 'Work to Do' came out in August 2019.
So, 71 years and counting. With a career that's now 81 years long.

But it was relevant enough for a non-relevant comment. So: where's your useful reply to the original question?

Their best era was when Mikael "Mick" Taylor joined as a lead instrumentalist, 1869-1874, fans are still debating that over a hundred years later on their message board.

Except that Clarence Fountain, the last surviving original member, passed in 2018 and was only involved in his final 2 years after having been non-active since 2007.
It's like imagining the Stones with no longer the lineup of Charlie Watts, Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, or even Ron Wood.

He sounded rather bored on the 1873-tour, though...

I thought they relied rather heavily on the warhorses during the Crimean War.
