Name a band where arguably their singer isn’t the most famous member

[paddingofpaws]

I have two considerations:

Blink-182 and Led Zeppelin

Bob the Builder, he is more famous than whoever recorded the song.

Blur now. Alex James although he’s more famous for his cheese I think.

Rick Allen from def leppard for his amazing one armed drumming skills ❤️🤯❤️

Why wouldn't @paddingofpaws be invested in the debate? They began it. You, on the other hand.......

Was coming to say Metallica. Lars Ulrich has mostly been the spokesman.

Who specifically do you mean? I would say they always had 2 frontmen.

Manfred Mann - named after the keyboardist

Mis-Teeq (Alisha Dixon)

Steve " steaming" clarke from def leppard for his guitar playing and tragic death ❤️

Dave Grohls behaviour has put me off watching him live. It makes me sad that he turned out to be a twat.

Eternal (Louise Redknapp)

What's he done?

Cheated on his wife and got the ow pregnant.

Yeah, no.

Even dead, Kurt Cobain is still more famous than Dave.
As much as I also love Dave and the Foo Fighters.

🤣🤣🤣.
Maybe he just wanted to avoid his clothes being soaked by all the bottles of piss that were being chucked about.

Fleetwood Mac was named after 2 people - Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, but in the days before the lineup from the 70s, Peter Green, vocalist, lead guitar, and the man who founded the band, was absolutely the most famous. At one time they were officially known as Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac.

My husband was saying yesterday that Morrissey's reputation has been trashed a tad because he somehow got himself associated with extreme right wing types. Have you heard of that? I haven't googled it yet, it just doesn't fit with what I thought I knew about him. Inc being a veggie.

Janes Addiction. - Dave Navarro

Another wrong answer.

Very very disappointing and sad

He's one of two lead singers though? He and Paul Stanley sing half the songs each, while Gene plays bass and Paul plays guitar.

And Dare of course. 😊

Fall out boy. I just had to Google the lead singers name as I had no idea. But I know who Pete Wentz is.

Fun little game...
The Yardbirds and Genesis are probably the most obviously correct answers. Could probably add Van Halen and Beats International to this 'of course' category

There's a whole subgroup of 'another band member is just as venerated / known as the lead singer' including Rolling Stones, Led Zep, Guns'n'Roses, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Ex

There is maybe another category where the band's most 'iconic' member is not the lead singer - Def Leppard which another commentor mentions, maybe also Public Enemy and Battles

Not quite sure where I would put ABBA?

Sleater-Kinney. Carrie Brownstein is a lot more known (mainly for being in and writing Portlandia) than her band mate Corin Tucker.
