how can a band who havent recorded for 7 years and not toured for 4 years be a 'great active band' ?

Doesnt the question simply mean the best "on current form" ?

Thats how I interpret it anyway. So :

1) Springsteen
2) Dylan
3) Lucinda williams
4) Red Hot Chili Peppers
5) Steve Earle
6) Neil Young
7) Stones
8) Arcade Fire
9) White Stripes
10) U2

"Haris Alexiou...Eleftheria Arvanitaki"

no nervous breakdowns, are you from Greece? Do you like very much greek music? Or just...kidding?

FYI - Elvis, Pistols, Holly, Beatles, & Monkees are far from active. It helps to be alive . . .
