7 Groups and Bands Best Known For One Member

So you’re sitting in your office cubicle or at a class lecture and daydream about meeting your favorite group or band. This is typical behavior for you, but don’t feel guilty. We at Brainberries often have those moments where we imagine ourselves hanging out with Paul McCarney and John Lennon, even though they are dead (according to 50 year-old rumors and actual 1980 assassinations, respectively). Of course, while you can’t think about the Beatles with imagining McCarney, Lennon, and all the people, loving for today (ah ah ah). Same deal with the Rolling Stones. It’s Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and then a bunch of other names you can’t remember. But then there are those times when you hear a song on the radio and think, “That’s the group starring one guy with a few nameless drummers, guitarists and cowbell players in the background.” So that’s what we’re going to talk about today, guys. So without further ado, here are seven bands that you only know for its leading member.

Jim Morrison – The Doors

Every teenager goes through a phase in their life where they discover Jim Morrison and decide to worship him. After all, he was the first genuine bad boy of rock who would show up on stage drunk, expose himself when it felt like the right thing to do, and impress everybody with his mediocre attempts at poetry. He also made the brilliant marketing decision to die of a drug overdose at 27, leaving him young and sexy in the minds of rebellious high schoolers for all of eternity. Oh, and we have no idea who the hell the rest of the Doors are.

Ozzy Osbourne – Black Sabbath

From time to time you hear about some kind of story about a rock star doing something completely insane, only to be heartbroken when you discover that, no, nobody went on a coke binge, set themselves on fire, jumped out a 10 story building, and still somehow found a way to make it to band practice later that afternoon. But there is one urban legend that is actually true: back in 1982 while at a Black Sabbath concert in Des Moines, Iowa, a fan threw a live bat onto the stage and Ozzy did what any reasonable person in his position would have done: he bit its head off. And that, my friends, is what we should all aspire to.

Adam Levine – Maroon 5

Take a look at Levine for a second. Don’t worry, you can return to reading this article once your done. We aren’t going anywhere. Okay, you’re back. You’ve probably noticed that Levine is objectively/ridiculously good looking. He’s got the tats. He’s a good singer, although autotune has helped. His square jaw and thin lips make you quiver, ladies and some guys. He has done a good job of cultivating an image of a good guy without coming off as a wuss, which makes him very marketable. Next, take a look at the rest of his band. No? How dare you disobey an order! Very well, we’ll do it for you. The six other guys (yes, Maroon 5 is actually Maroon 5 + 2 – 14 + 14 = 7) range from average guy who the ladies might date if Adam is not available to the average guy who the ladies don’t want to date because they are looking for Levine-level of good-lookingness.
