10 Bands Who Have No Original Members

Page 2 of 4

7. Heart Though Ann and Nancy Wilson have carried Heart since the sisters joined in 1972 and 1974, respectively, neither were original members of the Seattle band that began as White Heart about a decade earlier.

6. The Hollies Though it's close, with Tony Hicks and Bobby Elliott -- who joined in 1963 -- still kicking around with the Hollies today, neither were present upon the British Invasion band's 1962 inception.

5. Blood, Sweat & Tears BS&T has had so many members over the years it's ridiculous; check Wikipedia's section on exactly that and be amazed. One thing's for sure: none of the guys who are there now were there when it started. In fact, longest-serving member Dave Gellis joined in 1985, 18 years after the band formed.
