There's even people on here naming solo artists for fuck's sake. Probably not many bands where the general public don't think of them as being the singer plus anybody.

 

An interesting complimentary thread could be bands where the primary/best known member wasn't or isn't the lead siger.

I'll start with Van Halen.

Sorry, I have to politely disagree with this.

On another note...

I'd say no to that. Bernard was very important to their sound but he's been dead 30 years, while Nile has kept going and is still high profile. 

Tough. *folds arms and looks away*

Lol he wrote one of the most recognised and copied bass lines of all times. Good Times.

Far Cough UKunt" wrote: ↑07 Oct 2025, 18:32 Crazy Horse is an American rock band best known for their association with the musician Neil Young. Since 1969, fifteen studio albums and eight live albums have been billed as being by Neil Young and Crazy Horse. They have also released six studio albums of their own between 1971 and 2009.

I know Neil Young fired the band at one point so I don't know if that makes him a member but as above they recorded more albums with Young that they did on their own.
