13 bands where, for whatever reason, a band member is more well known or infamous than the lead singer -
1. KISS - Gene Simmons has the iconic demon image, the tongue, the tales of sexual exploits, hosts radio shows and generally acts as the mouthpiece of the group. Most casual music fans would know him, Paul Stanley not so much. (I know Gene sings lead on some songs, but not as much as Paul)
2. Cream - Jack Bruce sang lead on two of their most famous songs, White Room and Sunshine of Your Love. But even at the time from what I've read, Eric Clapton was the most well-known of the three band members.
3. The Yardbirds - at varying times in the 60s had Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck on lead guitars. Had to look up who was the vocalist (Keith Relf).
4. Deep Purple- Blackmore and Lord more famous than the assorted singers.
5. Digital Underground - Bit of a stretch this one but Tupac was a dancer for DU back in the day, he's infinitely more famous than Shock G or Money B
6. King Crimson - Robert Fripp has always been more well known than the lead singers the band had throughout the years.
