Bands where people only tend to know one member


Evidently. However let’s be honest - the nature of threads like these is to attract music snobs! Normal “punters” wouldn’t give a shit anyways :lol:
Thats why my answer to the op was "about 80% " rather than naming people
Can’t believe someone mentioned The Sweet! Four names up there with the Beatles and the Stones
AFTERS
DESSERT
POSTRES
PUDDING

The whole thing's turned into a daft argument bout how much a certain type of person might not know. It's almost musical snobbery in reverse.

"Oh I've heard of Tony Iommi, but Joe Bloggs hasn't, so it doesn't count." Fuck off man.
I took the thread as the average person (which would probably change with the age group tbf) but I'd imagine a lot of people would know who Robert Plant and Jimmy Page were but wouldn't have a clue about Jones and Bonham.

Anyone into music as in buys records regular, goes to gigs etc would know all of them.

More modern example would be a fair few would know who Tom and Serge were out of Kasabian but probably not a clue about the rest.

And that would be the general consensus. Like Jim Morrison was a pin up and was culturally relevant outside of the band but doubt many could name another Doors member unless you were into the band. Probably under 30 now and they won't even know Morrison tbf.

Very open ended question tbf.
 
That's one I thought of.

Both decent shouts. I feel like I should know someone else in The Cure, but I don't, and he's the only mainstay.
Sort of, but the bass player Simon Gallup has been with Robert Smith since the early days of the Cure, he left after the tour for the Pornography album but was back by the Head On The Door and has been ever present since
 
Depends what you mean by a normal punter.

I took the question as anyone who are aware of the band and know one name and not the others. loads of people would know Ozzy was in Sabbath but have no clue of anyone else in the band.

fans of sabbath should have a good idea about the guitarist at least.

loads of people will have heard the eagles. will have eagles greatest hits and still not name one band member.
