Name a Band Where The Lead Singer is NOT the Most Famous of the Group.

[Runwildboys]

AC/DC

With Johnson, I agree. When Bon Scott was alive, too close to call. That man has a lot of charisma...I do love me some Angus though!

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

He wasn't at the time.

Not more popular.
But I do remember when I first got the CD and was listening to it with a friend.
We both were saying the best musician in the group by far was the drummer.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Dimebag Darrell when he was alive.

Trey Azagthoth of Morbid Angel

Jeff Waters of Annihilator

Jake E Lee when he was in Badlands...very underrated band IMO

George Lynch when he was in Dokken

Michael Schenker from UFO and MSG

Alex Skolnick from Testament

At the time, Dimebag Darrell was the only member of the band I could name.

Deep Purple

 

[HungryLion]

Morello also has his own show on Sirius. Very talented guitarist!

Interesting. I’ve never heard his show on Sirius.

I love his work with Rage and audioslave. The man can shred.

Jeff Beck

 

[Pola_pe_a]

Neil Peart - Rush
Dale Crover - The Melvins

Neil Peart - Rush
Dale Crover - The Melvins

I was gonna say Rush, but I thought maybe I was just biased, because I can't stand the shrill voice.

The Who. Most likely Townsend and possibly Moon the Loon.

I thought about that too, but I really like Daltry, as a frontman, a vocalist, and an actor. Townshend seems like a dick, anytime I read an interview. Moon was great, but definitely had issues.

Oh, I like Daltry and Townshend can be a turn off at times, but Pete was the meat of the band when talking song orchestration. Topic can be a little subjective depending on a person's perspective of any given band.

Yeah, I forgot, this isn't about popularity, but about who was more "famous". Tough call.
