It was interesting to see that the fourth to sixth spots on our survey featured bands that were most successful in different decades. Bon Jovi finished sixth with only 6.40% of the total vote, and it's not much of a shock, considering they broke out later than the other bands in the poll, doing so with their 1986 album "Slippery When Wet." As reported by USA Today, the band fittingly released their 15th album, "2020," on October 2, 2020, and while they have no immediate plans of retiring, frontman Jon Bon Jovi told the outlet that it's important to "know when it's time to go."
Amazingly, the Rolling Stones, who remain mostly intact almost six decades after their formation, were "only" fifth with 12.65% of the vote. Although founding members Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are closing in on their eighth decade on this planet, Richards told Rolling Stone in 2020 that retirement is still not in the cards and that he's looking forward to playing shows in 2022 to mark the band's 60th anniversary.
At fourth place was Lynyrd Skynyrd, and while they overcame the tragedy of losing their original vocalist, Ronnie Van Zant, and two other band members in a 1977 plane crash, 14.39% of you felt that we've probably had enough of that guy yelling "play 'Free Bird!'" at concerts. They are, however, on their farewell tour, which recently resumed after the COVID-19 pandemic put several dates on hold, per Fort Worth Magazine.
