I was just listening to him and thinking...is there any other band where the guitarist is more famous than the singer? Maybe Santana on a few of his tracks?
As mentioned,
AC/DC is the Angus Young show
Cream; Jack Bruce was the lead singer (Eric Clapton sang lead on only a few of those tracks).
Ted Nugent Band; Derek St. Holmes was the lead vocalist for the first four studio albums and Double Live Gonzo (again, Ted only sang lead on only a few songs... and didn't write the Stranglehold riff...)
Rainbow; Ritchie Blackmore was always the most well known member of that band (Ronnie Dio didn't become famous until after he left Rainbow). You could make the case that he was the most famous member of Deep Purple as well. That's what happens when you write the Smoke on the Water riff.
No Ozzy/Dio, and Black Sabbath becomes the Tony Iommi Experience
Dream Theater; John Petrucci is way more known than James LaBrie (notice I said "known", none of these guys are famous).
The Who; Pete Townshend is arguably more famous than Roger Daltrey.
All the out-of-control-ego guitarist bands of course (Michael Schenker Group, Yngwie Malmsteen, etc.) cause their egos would never let them bring in someone of equal stature who would force them to actually write, you know, songs.
Dokken; George Lynch is more famous than Don Dokken, and the band is named after the singer (that's always chapped Don's ass, but fuck him, he's a prick)
I'm sure there's more, but it is a rare occurrence.
