Default Who Had The Best Overall Music Career?
Besides The Beatles of course..Who had the best career? as far as hits/selling albums/chart positions/making creative and innovating music/influencing many others/ had the most consistency & never stopped released great work..

There's a few in my head that had an perfect or almost perfect career
Who comes to mind when you think of a short lasting/long lasting career?(Great from Debut to Last Album)

The Ramones

though a lot of people may dispute that, seeing that they essentially put out the same album for 20 years, with different production values

If that's the criteria, can we just add a few years and count AC/DC?

For me, John Fahey had a pretty much perfect 'career'.

Buuuuut - not many number 1 hits

Yeah, John Fahey.

you're right to a certain extent but you forgot about "hits/selling albums/chart position?

i don't think they ever had any hits

nor did any of their albums chart particularly well

they were seminal in the pop-punk sub-genre though
