You know that this is what I meant. I get that there's a difference.Peart is the lyricist, not the songwriter.
If you find the bootleg version, you’ll get see Neil Young with a huge streaks of cocaine under his nostrils before it scrubbed for comercial release.Plus, Robbie Robertson paid Martin Scorsese to put him front and center in the Last Waltz film.

It’s an acceptable argument to suggest Bonzo was the most integral or important member of the band, but he was never perceived as the biggest star in the band. Those are two different things. It was always Plant and Page who were on the magazine covers, were requested to do the interviews and had the adoration of the female fans etc.I’d argue Bonham over Plant, not Paige

the cars are such an odd band and it's always surprised me that ocasek got so much more of the attention over orr. both ocasek and orr put out an equal amount of hits (although i'd give orr the slight edge in regards to who sang the better songs)
Orr (just what i needed, let's go, drive, bye bye love, let's go)
Ocasek (magic, you might think, good times roll, shake it up, since you're gone, best friend's girlfriend)
its surprising why orr wasn't marketed more. he had the voice, the looks, and that whole 80s rock star persona. ocasek was far more reserved and didn't have that onstage persona/energy orr did. yet like you said it was ocasek who got all the fame and attention. orr was the far better vocalist in my opinion and even ocasek admitted (rather reluctantly) in their last interview together before orr's death that he would give the more difficult songs to orr
Yes for sure. Especially when their legacies became undeniable, but at the time, before they became guitar gods you could argue that Keith Relf was just as much and possibly even the bigger star.The Yardbirds. Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck all played guitar at various times.
Jaki Liebezeit is the strongest component of the band, Can, and he's the drummer. If not him, then it's Holger Czukay, the bassist, who seems to be the leader of the band.
Can's probably one of the few bands where the lead vocalist AND the lead guitarist are arguably the least involved members of the band (although Damo Suzuki is ****ing awesome in his specified role).
Mustaine's songwriting >>>>> Mustaine's vocals > Mustaine's guitar playingThere are a ton, because any major rock band that has any focus on musicianship is going to have a well-known musician that's at least on equal footing as the singer. And several singers are also known for playing their instruments in their own right (think Megadeth or Green Day, etc), which equates to the same thing. What's more important to Megadeth... Dave Mustaine's voice or Dave Mustaine's guitar playing? I'd argue the latter all day long.
Dream Theater is a good one, both Portnoy and Petrucci have always been at the forefront.
One I'm more curious about than anything: how were Ann and Nancy Wilson perceived back in the day? I wasn't alive then and I'm not too familiar with Heart's history but I've always felt Nancy was the standout performer for them.

There's a reason he always brings in a vastly superior guitarist. His skill hasn't really been outstanding since the early to mid 80s.
Also Travis from Blink 182 over Tom and Mark

Ocasek wrote almost all of the hits. Not sure why you're giving Orr credit for songs Ocasek wrote.
yes i know
i was talking about how it seems like they both sang on an equal number of the band's hits
King Crimson.
That was/is Robert Fripp's band with a rotating cast of other musicians and vocalists.
