Sometimes, casual fans of a rock band can only identify one member by name. And sometimes, those fans are absolutely right, because that one guy is the band. There are a few ways this can happen: Rock music is perceived as unfriendly to solo artists: since The Beatles the functional unit has been the rock band, with artists like Meat Loaf and Elvis Costello the exception rather than the rule. Singer-songwriters who want to rock will avert this by taking this trope to its Logical Extreme and performing under a band-like moniker. You can identify this type of crypto-solo artist by these signs: They write all the songs by themselves. All of them. They appear in all the videos and publicity photos by themselves. They either play all the instruments on studio albums themselves or has other musicians (who are frequently replaced) to hold the instruments for them. Live shows require backing musicians. But they won't be listed as guest musicians in advertising for the show. In a Long Runner band, every member leaves, except for one. These splits can be friendly or not, they can happen all at once or over several years, but either way, the one founding member who doesn't leave becomes the only constant. Often becomes a case of Revolving Door Band and could lead to Artist and the Band. In a similar fashion to the above, a famous member of a band may leave and form a new group with several less well-known performers, thus becoming the most recognizable (and usually controlling) member of the new band almost by default. The band has a full and consistent lineup, but the face of the band exerts unilateral creative control over the group's music. Cases like these typically develop gradually, and such bands tend to dissolve once the lead leaves. The Beatles are responsible for creating the crypto-soloist version of this trope more or less single-handedly, despite never embodying it themselves. Before the Beatles, all the big-name acts in rock and roll were solo stars, sometimes with a featured backing band. (The situation was different in some other pop-music genres, notably Doo-wop.) As a result, when the Beatles first broke out there were attempts to fix on one Beatle as the leader or star of the band. Instead, they averted this now-Forgotten Trope so successfully (even individual songwriting credit was usually hidden behind the Lennon-McCartney byline) that their massive success turned the expectation on its head. Bands often break from the Beatles model by having a single recognisable frontman or a much less stable lineup (see Revolving Door Band) but the overall expectation that pop/rock acts be (or at least, be marketed as) Beatles-like groups without a billed leader has held firm. (The breakup of the Beatles led to type 3 of this trope, in the form of Wings.) A rare two-person variation exists, where there are two constant band members instead of just one, but the trope is still largely in effect. Super-Trope to Artist and the Band. Compare with Spotlight-Stealing Title, Only One Name. Also see One-Man Band, for the guys who play all their instruments simultaneously. May result in a Copiously Credited Creator. This is more or less the inversion of I Am Not Shazam. Sounds like, but isn't, I Am the Noun. |

Dream Theater is John Myung and John Petrucci, bassist and lead guitarist respectively, and the band's only constant members. That said, the rest of the lineup has been largely stable for decades. James La Brie has been the vocalist since 1991. Keyboardist Jordan Rudess joined in 1999. Even the newest member, drummer Mike Mangini, has been around since 2010. |

Daisy Jones & The Six: Billy Dunne, the lead singer of The Six, occasionally tries to claim that the band was a democracy but often contradicts himself and makes it clear he's in charge. When Daisy Jones demands equal songwriting input on their collaborative album the rest of the band take it as an opportunity to force Billy to finally listen to their input. | |

Inverted with Drowning Pool. They've had the same three instrumentalists (C.J. Pierce, Steve Benton, and Mike Luce) since the beginning, but have had revolving lineup of four different vocalists since their original lead singer Dave Williams died of heart failure. | |

Similarly to Pink Floyd, David Byrne held greater and greater power over Talking Heads' music and image over the course of their run; by True Stories, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth, and Jerry Harrison practically existed just to play instrumentals for the songs Byrne wrote. This, alongside long-brewing tensions between Byrne and his bandmates (especially Tina), is believed to be a major catalyst in Talking Heads' unceremonious and acrimonious dissolution in 1991. Also similarly to the Pink Floyd example, Byrne sued his former bandmates for trademark infringement when they tried to continue performing as "The Heads", though unlike what happened between Roger Waters and Pink Floyd, Byrne more or less succeeded in stopping the Heads from continuing without him (though how much of this was because of the suit and how much of this was because of the critical and commercial failure of the Heads' sole album is unknown). The sheer amount of control Byrne had over Talking Heads is visible just by comparing their last two albums with Byrne's 1992 solo album Uh-Oh, with the latter sounding quite similar to how one might envision a hypothetical ninth Talking Heads album. | |

Celldweller is Klayton due to being the guy who plays and writes all the music. Circle of Dust is also him, as well as Scandroidnote originally a duo, but Varien, another member, left due to unspecified reasons. Frequent collaborations between Klayton's projects are somewhat a running joke among the fans. |

The Lightning Seeds started as a complete solo (studio) project of Ian Broudie, who early on wrote, played and produced every note. They later evolved into an actual band, but Broudie is still the group's writer, singer, guitarist, keyboard player and producer, and other band members tend to come and go. | |

Major Lazer was originally a duo consisting of DJs Diplo and Switch. Switch left due to creative differences, and Diplo remains the only original member. Downplayed in that Walshy Fire and Jillionaire, the two members that replaced Switch, have more-or-less formed a permanent lineup with Diplo, and are equal contributors to the project. | |

System F was Ferry Corsten, until he started using his real name. Prior to those, Moonman was his primary solo moniker. He also released songs under the alias Gouryella, whose name was originally used as a musical project between him and Tiësto, who left the project in 2001. | |

The Temptations are Otis Williams (the sole constant) and 4 other guys — which is ironic, since Otis Williams is far less prominent as a lead vocalist than ex-Tempts David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams (no relation to Otis), and Dennis Edwards (Ruffin's replacement). Up until 1995, Otis Williams and bass singer Melvin Franklin "were the band" for the Tempts, being the only constant members since their early '60s formation, to the point that they (or Franklin's estate) own the trademark to the group name. Franklin died in February 1995 due to complications from diabetes. |

For the first few years of their existence, Chris Cornell was Soundgarden. Despite later being known for both Kim Thayil and Matt Cameron's distinct performing styles, the vast majority of their material during The '80s was written entirely by Cornell, and the rare exceptions were generally considered filler. Things changed a bit in The '90s, when Ben Shephard replaced original bassist Hiro Yamamoto and offered noticeably more input than his predecessor, along with the other members beginning to make writing contributions as well. After Cornell's suicide, guitarist Kim Thayil is the only remaining founder. | |

Guns N' Roses are basically Axl Rose and whoever doesn't hate him at the time. Tempered somewhat by the fact that keyboardist Dizzy Reed has been in the band for 22 years, while bassist Tommy Stinson and second keyboardist Chris Pittman were in the band for fourteen years. And in a miracle, Slash and Duff returned in 2016. |

DROELOE is essentially electronic producer Vincent Rooijers' project. The group originally started off as a trio, being a collaborative multimedia project between Vincent, graphic artist Hein Hamers and filmmaker Joris Weerts. Joris left not long after the project started up, leaving Vincent and Hein as its primary members from 2015 until 2020; Hein stopped touring in 2019 to focus on the band's visual identity and left entirely the next year. | |

Dio was Ronnie James Dio (naturally). Somewhat arguable, as Ronnie stated in multiple interviews that he personally always saw Dio as a band rather than a solo project. The name Dio was simply chosen out of marketing concerns - Dio was already well known due to Rainbow and Sabbath so people would instantly recognize the name. That said he obviously always had main creative control and wrote most of the music and lyrics himself, but he still invited band members to participate in the creative process. |

Wings: Mostly Paul McCartney. He was a core member in a band that changed personnel six times in ten years (twice to core members only), he wrote most of the songs himself (the ones he didn't write were generally only included on albums to make the unit seem more democratic than it was), and until 1976 he paid his band members a flat rate. Denny Laine got things fixed a little for himself after then, but still... By 1987 and greatest hits album All the Best, Paul had given up on pretending Wings was an actual band. That album is attributed solely to Paul McCartney despite being about half Wings songs. |

Though it's plainly impossible to imagine the band without Toshi's characteristic voice (and hair), and hide's death sent him into years-long Creator Breakdown, it's equally hard to deny that X Japan is first and foremost Yoshiki. He writes most of the band's songs and music, he's both the drummer and the keyboardist, he produces and arranges all their material by himself in his own personal studio, and he was responsible for their reunion in 2007. | |

Miracle of Sound consists solely of Gavin Dunne, who plays guitar, bass, piano, and keyboards, and performs all of the vocals himself, barring occasional guest singers. He's said that the reason he doesn’t have a full band for his project is both because he's a self-admitted control freak when it comes to his music, and also the simple matter of hiring session players and recording them all live can get mighty expensive for an internet musician (which is also the reason he uses sampled drums). However, he did hire a couple blues musicians for Sweet L.A. to push the track’s authentic feel the extra mile. | |

Since the mid-1990's, Heart has been Ann & Nancy Wilson and a revolving door of backing musicians, including former Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke. However, the band was founded in 1967, while the Wilson sisters only joined the band in the 1970s (1972 for Ann; 1975 for Nancy). Still, Nancy took a four-year break from the band in the late '90s to raise her family. | |

Scritti Politti is Green Gartside - he carried the name on after the original post-punk lineup disbanded to collaborate with musicians David Gamson and Fred Maher on the albums 'Cupid & Psyche 85' and 'Provision', but from 1991 onwards, it has been him plus whoever he is interested in writing and recording with. | |

Burzum is Varg Vikernes. This also goes for the hundreds (if not thousands) of other Black Metal solo projects out there. Other examples include Bathory (on several albums including much of the best-known "Viking metal" output), Panopticon, Gnaw Their Tongues, Hellveto, Nae'blis, early Windir, ColdWorld, Petrychor, Botanist, The Ruins of Beverast, Mirrorthone, Graveland, Ildjarn, Paysage d'Hiver, Leviathan/Lurker of Chalice, Xasthur, and so on. (Note that some of these bands, like Botanist and the Ruins of Beverast, have extra members for live appearances, but all the instruments and vocals on studio albums are performed by one person). One-man bands may be particularly common in Black Metal due to the often misanthropic and solitary nature of the genre. The list could go even further if you included all the examples of bands where the main creative force works with a bunch of studio musicians (Anti, Vintersorg, Ihsahn, and Abbath [of Immortal fame] are four examples that are dead giveaways, since the band name and the pseudonym of the main member are identical). |

Todd Rundgren is another example of the "solo artist who plays all instruments on an album" variant. The first three sides of Something/Anything? Everything you hear is him. He also did this on Hermit of Mink Hollow, Healing, The Ever Popular Tortured Artist Effect, and some of his other albums (with A cappella being a particularly strange example since every sound you hear on the album is Rundgren's voice). He also has an example with his band Utopia, which became more of a collaborative project as it went further on, but was still undeniably Rundgren's project. (The band's first album was entitled Todd Rundgren's Utopia, which is a pretty big indicator right there). His earlier bands Runt and Nazz were also examples; indeed, the former's two albums are frequently categorised as Rundgren solo albums. | |

Delain consisted of composer/keyboardist Martijn Westerholt, lyricist/vocalist Charlotte Wessels, and anybody else who was willing to stick around. With Charlotte leaving alongside all the other then-current musicians, Martijn is effectively the only consistently remaining member. Even though he called back several past members to fill in the new line up, bets are open on how long they'll stick around this time. |

Crystal Castles was a duo consisting of vocalist Alice Glass and producer Ethan Kath. Then they had a falling out, and Glass left. Sounds like a breakup right? Nope. Kath recruited an unknown girl named Edith Frances as the new vocalist and formed it as the "new" Crystal Castles, and remained the sole driving force...that is, until the band stopped producing music altogether in 2018 by abuse allegations against Kath. | |

Avant-garde/"outsider music" entity Jandek is a complicated example, which nobody realised was one until late in the day. Until Jandek finally started playing live, due to the lack of publicity material, most people assumed that it was a pseudonym for the guy who does most of the vocals and guitar, and is often the sole musician. When the live performances began, it was announced that "Jandek" is a broader name for the music project, and the singer-guitarist who is the sole constant member (other musicians being recruited locally for each gig) is referred to only as "a representative of Corwood Industries", Corwood Industries being the record label name under which Jandek's recordings are released. Despite all this, much of the media, and even some venue publicity, still treats "Jandek" as simply the performing name of the musician. |

Sirenia is Morten Veland. He writes all of their songs and lyrics and plays most of the instruments on their studio recordings. Even the URL for their official website is under Veland's name. Current singer Ailyn (who joined in 2008) is the first lead vocalist in Sirenia's 10+ year history to sing on more than one album. She's also the only band member who records with Veland in the studio, presumably because female vocals are the one thing he can't do himself. The rest of the band (which has been a revolving door except for drummer Jonathan Perez) only plays on tour. | |

Despite the lineup being (relatively) stable for most of the band's time, Emma Anzai is the only original member left in Sick Puppies, though most don't realise it since Chris Mileski (the original drummer) left after the release of Welcome to the Real World, which had a limited pressing. Though she's a downplayed case, being only the bassist and singing on occasion. | |

Static-X, an Industrial Metal band, was named after its lead vocalist/guitarist Wayne Static. The band itself was mostly a Revolving Door Band, with Static and bassist Tony Campos as the only consistent members. So much so that, when the band broke up in 2013 due to a dispute with Campos using the Static-X name for live shows not involving Wayne, Wayne Static decided to just use his backup band from his solo material as "Static-X" for live performances before deciding to retire the band name entirely and just keep up his solo career. After Wayne died, so did the chance of reforming the band, until Tony Campos stepped in, brought back the original lineup and a new singer with a mask in Wayne's likeness. | |

Black Label Society was originally Zakk Wylde's solo project for when not working with Ozzy Osbourne. He wrote everything and performed the guitars and bass (his live band's drummer has always recorded for him) for studio recordings. After four albums, he realized he hated playing bass and felt that the bass felt empty with a guitarist playing it, so he brought his live band's bassist(s) to the studio for the next album. He still writes and records everything else himself. | |

Fear Factory is mainly Burton C. Bell and Dino Cazares. However, Burton C. Bell remains the only consistent member in the band, as there was a time Dino was not in the band. Dino Cazares also said the 2 albums the band made without him (Archetype and Transgression) didn't count as Fear Factory albums. |

Nightwish - The most likely candidate for the actual face of the band is the main songwriter and keyboard player Tuomas Holopainen who gets most of the fan attention. However, Tarja Turunen began to think of herself as the band and above the band and said so in interviews. The rest of the band then fired her for this attitude. | |

Nick Mason was the only one to be "officially" in the band for all the albums. Waters quit in 1985, Barrett left in early 1968, Gilmour joined the band in early 1968, and keyboardist Richard Wright was fired by Waters in 1979 during the recording of The Wall (but allowed to play in its ensuing tour) before being rehired by Gilmour after Waters quit. By the time The Endless River had been released, Wright had passed on, though the album relied heavily on recordings he'd made during the sessions for The Division Bell. | |

AC/DC was brothers Angus and Malcolm Young from 1973 until 2014 when Malcolm had to leave due to health issues, leaving Angus the only original member. Downplayed somewhat by vocalist Brian Johnson having been a face since 1980 when previous vocalist Bon Scott died, and bassist Cliff Williams being a constant member since 1977. Unfortunately, this became a true example when Brian Johnson left due to hearing problems, and Cliff Williams left because the others were gone, making Angus the band for real. Brian and Cliff, alongside drummer Phil Rudd, all rejoined the band in 2018. | |

Okay, yes, Wham! was always marketed as a duo. But c'mon. George Michael was the group's singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist; Andrew Ridgeley sometimes strummed a guitar. In fact, they recorded tracks where George Michael and ONLY George Michael was credited with writing, producing, arranging the track — as well as singing all vocals and playing every single instrument. I Am The Band, indeed! | |

The Faceless is, at this point, Michael Keene. While always the band's creative centre, their third album had his clean singing become a much more prominent feature, and this, coupled with his being the only remaining founding member of the band and no-one being able to remember the new growler's name, has made him one of the few frontman guitarists in a band with a dedicated singer position. | |

Tubeway Army was so closely associated with singer Gary Numan that when he started releasing music under his own name instead, using former members of Tubeway Army as his backing band, no-one really noticed. Partly averted due to the importance of drummer Cedric Sharpley to Tubeway Army's (as later Gary Newman's) electronic-era sound. | |

The first Foo Fighters album was performed entirely (guitar, drums, bass, and vocals) by Dave Grohl, with the exception of one guitar part played by Greg Dulli on the song "X-Static". He only assembled a band after the fact. The second album also features Grohl's drumming, due to the band re-recording most of it without William Goldsmith. |

Curt Kirkwood pulled this for a couple of years with Meat Puppets: For the albums Golden Lies and Live he was the only original member of the band. To be fair, this was Executive Meddling of sorts - this lineup had been playing as Royal Neanderthal Orchestra previously, but he couldn't get a label to release their album without it being under the Meat Puppets name. At one point, they went back to two-thirds of the original lineup: Curt's brother Cris Kirkwood was back on bass, but original drummer Derrick Bostrom was absent because he declared that he had no interest in playing in a touring band anymore. | |

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were actually a subversion, despite being named for the frontman. They had a stable lineup and lead guitarist Mike Campbell and keyboardist Benmont Tench were a key part of the band's sound. Petty also reunited with his high school band Mudcrutch, which also subverts the trope since several other members have also contributed songs (although Petty did write or co-write more than half of them). | |

Jupiter is an inverted Type 3. After Versailles (itself an aversion of this trope) went on hiatus and vocalist Kamijo began his solo career, the band's instrumentalists (i.e., 4/5 of the band) formed Jupiter with a new, largely unknown vocalist. The result: Jupiter is Hizaki, Teru, Masashi, Yuki, and the new guy (Zin, who had previously sung in a couple of small bands under a different name). | |

Black Sabbath essentially was Tony Iommi; even though Ozzy Osbourne is its most famous member, Iommi came to essentially own the name just by being the only constant member. When Iommi reunited with Ronnie James Dio and the Heaven and Hell-era Sabbath lineup, they were billed as "Heaven & Hell" to distance themselves from Ozzy-era material. | |

Magma is Christian Vander. There is no version of the band which doesn't include him. The group was disbanded in 1986 when he decided to pursue other projects such as his bands Offering and the Christian Vander Trio, and was brought back in 1996 with Vander at the helm. Various members have left Magma to start their own projects due to creative differences with Vander, as was the case with Zao (not the metal band) and Weidorje. He is the only founding member still with the group and is one of only two performers from before the 1986 breakup who is still a consistent member of the band today, the other being his ex-wife Stella. | |

While they had a few stable lineups, most notably in the 1970s and 1990s, Tangerine Dream was essentially Edgar Froese and a revolving door of musicians who worked with him over the years. Taken to its logical extreme in 2007 when for the first time Froese began releasing albums under the Tangerine Dream name that were composed and recorded by him alone. Froese died in 2015, but his widow and the other three members of the current lineup at that time agreed to continue working together under the Tangerine Dream name. | |

Sepultura is Andreas Kisser. It used to be the Cavalera brothers of Max and Igor. Then Max quit in 1996, which left Igor in control of the band. Then Igor quit in 2006, so since then, Kisser has taken control and been behind much of Sepultura's songwriting and composition, as well as appearing the most in the band's press conferences. (though he's not the singer, and the one who never left, bassist Paulo Jr., is a minor presence) | |

Iced Earth is an odd example. Guitarist Jon Schaffer is the founder and has been the sole constant member, writes almost all of the material, and has gone through more band members (most of whom have been hired guns anyway) than one can count on fingers and toes. But Matt Barlow is generally considered the definitive vocalist, and despite leaving in 2003, overwhelming fan support saw him return for a short time in 2007. | |

Guy, with the exception of early member Timmy Gatling, was always Teddy Riley, Aaron & Damion Hall. However, Teddy was always the principal producer and cowriter, and arguably the most visible, despite not being the main singer. So really, not an example of this trope in any way at all. Kind of ridiculous that it's here, actually. Forget we said anything. | |

Played straight and subverted in Showbread. Josh Dies, the lead singer and songwriter writes 100% of the music and lyrics and COULD record every instrument on every album by himself... but chooses not to. However, with as many line-up changes and member replacements as Showbread has had, it's still Showbread as long as Josh Dies doesn't decide to hang his hat. His side band DIES is just him, and has no modesty about it. | |

Pere Ubu's lead singer David Thomas is the only one to have been continually performing since the band started in '75, outlasting numerous other performers.

The Church has always been the baby of lead singer/bassist Steve Kilbey, the only member to remain from the band's inception, and new hires were always his call. However during their heyday as a four-piece in the 80's and 90's with their classic lineup the other members would typically collaborate on some cuts and often at least would have a chance to sing their own creations. | |

Destruction spent years as a rare two member version with Schmier and Mike. Three of the four releases with Mike but not Schmier were rendered Canon Discontinuity and the two were the only constant members and primary songwriters from 1999 up until mid-2021 (and before then, from 1984 to 1989). Mike left in mid-2021 and left Schmeir as the sole founding member, leaving an odd instance of a case of this trope where the bandleader hasn't actually been in the band the whole time (Mike was, but Schmeir spent a whole decade not in the band). | |

Other examples include Bathory (on several albums including much of the best-known "Viking metal" output), Panopticon, Gnaw Their Tongues, Hellveto, Nae'blis, early Windir, ColdWorld, Petrychor, Botanist, The Ruins of Beverast, Mirrorthone, Graveland, Ildjarn, Paysage d'Hiver, Leviathan/Lurker of Chalice, Xasthur, and so on. (Note that some of these bands, like Botanist and the Ruins of Beverast, have extra members for live appearances, but all the instruments and vocals on studio albums are performed by one person). One-man bands may be particularly common in Black Metal due to the often misanthropic and solitary nature of the genre. The list could go even further if you included all the examples of bands where the main creative force works with a bunch of studio musicians (Anti, Vintersorg, Ihsahn, and Abbath [of Immortal fame] are four examples that are dead giveaways, since the band name and the pseudonym of the main member are identical). | |
