I used to think Pete Townshend was the singer of The who

>>74352423
The Mars Volta kind of

>>74352423
Same with Guns N Roses for me. I knew who Slash was way before Axl Rose.

Sorry Mike, but it's true

Oasis

>>74352548
I think everyone just thinks of the Gallaghers as a unit. You don't know one and not know the other.

Rage against the machine

ac/dc

>>74352514
>>74352601
I think Guitar Hero helped on some level with both of these

maybe van halen

Led Zeppelin

Prof. Brian Cox is probably the most famous member of D:Ream, in spite of the fact that it was a solo project. But who can name the bloke from D:Ream's name without looking it up?

angus young is ac/dc most famous member

wrong

Santana

The Mothers of Invention

>>74352629
Yeah, and tom morello was always on the media with his activism as well.. at least in the 00s

>>74352567
this

Manic Street Preachers maybe

Can I guess

I'd guess Captain Sensible is the most well known member of the Damned, and maybe Rat Scabies second. CS is maybe more known for Happy Talk by a lot of people than as a member of the Damned.
>>74352809
Maybe. I don't know if any of them are too well known by the general public though. Nicky and Richey are/were definitely the spokespeople more than James is though.

Sid Vicious is certainly the second most famous Sex Pistol at least, which must be a kick in the teeth for Steve, Paul and Glen, but I don't know if him or John would be the most famous
>>74352838
Sure, go ahead

Genesis in their prime

>>74352423
Sleater Kinney

ramones

metallica

led zeppelin

>>74352972
On a similar note to this, I have to wonder if to most Brix Smith and Mark Riley are better known to the public for their post-Fall media work than Mark E. Smith is known for The Fall

Dream Theater
Nevermore
Rush probably

Butch Vig with Garbage

fIREHOSE

>>74352423
i always thought flea was in korn

Blind Faith

>>74353146
Same with Cream

Yes? Squire probably is most famous.

>>74353174
I'd say it's definitely Wakeman, at least over here in Britain. Wakeman's got almost like a second career as occasional bloke on telly.

>>74353006
I dont agree with neither ramones nor metallica. Joey and james are the most famous

>>74353321
I agree with the Ramones, they're all pretty well known equally, but I knew who Lars Ulrich was before I knew James.

>>74353345
same.

>>74353345
Ok you got me senpai. Maybe lars is better known because he likes to be polemical. And for the ramones i think joey and jonnhy are the most and equally famous.

a lot of swing era bands, count basie orchestra, duke ellington orchestra etc

>>74353030
Rush is 50/50. It's either Neil Peart or Geddy Lee, but Geddy Lee is more known for being an insane bass players.

>>74352423
Fall Out Boy
Guns N' Roses
Blink-182
Motley Crue
At The Drive-In

Welp, my answer has already been taken. That being The Who.

>>74352455
Then who is?
>>74352671
If Plant isn't, it's VERY close.

>>74353666
fripp my dude

Guns N' Roses Slash

>>74352460
Keith Moon is more famous than Daltrey as well

>>74353345
Lars? The shittiest member? I imagine the only context for that would be the copyright lawsuit shit they threw at fans.
>>74353030
Rush for sure. Everybody knows Neil.

>>74353801
>Lars? The shittiest member?
Doesn't mean he's not the most well known. He's definitely the most outspoken member of the band, lawsuits included, so I think that's why

Another one that's kind of - At the Drive-In.

>>74353763
Hell, Entwistle probably ranks near Daltrey in terms of popularity.

Animals as Leaders :)

>>74353817
he also has a weird asperger-ish charisma

>>74352460
>>74353763
idk daltrey is pretty famous

both my parents could name daltrey but not anyone else

for music fans maybe he is less known but for normie middle aged and old people no

>>74353684
Had a brain fart and thought Fripp WAS the singer. And honestly, if I were in his shoes my thought process after losing like three singers would have been "Ok, clearly I'm the only one dedicated enough to stick with this band so I'm taking over singing duties for good."
