Why: Robert Fripp, guitarist for the prog-rock heroes, has criticized labels for unfair digital-music payments, and Crimson was a longtime iTunes holdout until recently. Digital music, he told the Phoenix New Timesin 2013, is “just this disconnected thing that you can’t touch and feel and experience.” His longtime side project Puscifer, however, is available everywhere. Why: Frontman Maynard James Keenan is a physical-media purist, having never allowed his Nineties alt-metal powerhouse’s catalog on iTunes or any streaming service. “Until that’s resolved, we let very little out.” “The record business is 50 percent of what it was 10 years ago, so they’re trying to cut costs,” he recently told Rolling Stone. Why: Due to a longstanding dispute between Seger’s management and Capitol Records, the Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man does little ramblin’ or gamblin’ while streamin’ - or downloadin’, for that matter, as only a few of his albums are even on iTunes.

He refuses iTunes, YouTube (which he calls “the devil”) and every other online-music service except for his own download store Ghost Tunes. Why: The country megastar is pretty much a Luddite. Conversely, his two 2014 albums are on Spotify, as is most of his classic catalog, but self-released touchstones such as Emancipation are conspicuously missing. Why: Who knows? Prince has had a love-hate relationship with YouTube, posting awesome concert footage while yanking almost all the rest of his songs and albums. Notably, Swift’s catalog (if not 1989 itself) appears on paid streaming services such as Rhapsody, Tidal and Beats Music. “I’m not willing to contribute my life’s work to an experiment that I don’t feel fairly compensates the writers, producers, artists and creators of this music,” she said shortly after her blockbuster, 1989, came out in October. Why: Swift and her record label, Big Machine, appear to be waiting for Spotify to make her catalog available only on its paid “premium” portion.

While Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, John Lennon and others have all popped up on streaming services in recent years, here are some of the more notable artists you still can’t stream. It’s hard to keep all the on-demand streaming-music holdouts straight in a world where download and CD sales are plummeting and Spotify, YouTube, Beats Music and the rest are clearly taking over the record industry. Garth Brooks hates everybody (except himself and Walmart).
