Sid was the basist... and not the original one. He replace Glen Matlock in '77. He was the most historically infamous (thanks to NANCY!), but not the front man.

He did sing on a couple of tracks, granted, but the question asks for the most famous lead singer. He may be famous, or infamous, but not as the lead singer.

I'm surprised Yorke is so low. Radiohead is one of the most popular bands in the world. But I suppose they don't create much media buzz outside of their music; no scandals, crazy relationships, things like that to make people recognize the name.

I'm not surprised at all. He was one of five I missed. Couldn't come up with Garbage or 2nd Van Halen, both of which I knew but could not get my brain to work at the time. The Clash rings a bell but never would have gotten it. Radiohead? Coldplay? These fall into the category of 'British bands I have heard of but I could not name a song or band member'.

Radiohead is worshiped among big-time audiophiles, but they do not have the mass appeal of most of the bands on this list (I think probably only Garbage and Hole are less famous). Their commercial peak was 20 years ago, and as you rightly point out, Thom Yorke has avoided the spotlight.

They had like one big song that was stolen from the Hollies and the Hollies did It better" The Air that I Breathe" geeks like them because Yorke is nerdy and stole Creep. They identify. And Creep was 1994 I think.

Haha. They are by far the least-known band on this quiz. They were moderately successful in the 90s, but Courtney Love is probably more famous for her ridiculous behavior, her marriage to Kurt Cobain, and even her acting by this point. She is much more famous than the band is.

Easily enough well known singers for a sequel to this. Linkin Park and My Chemical Romance (as others have said above), Soundgarden, Rage Against the Machine, Metallica, Credence Clearwater Revival, Slipknot, Electric Light Orchestra, Weezer, Foo Fighters, Nickelback, Limp Bizkit, Muse... plenty for another quiz of similar difficulty, I think.

Some of the names just wouldn't come to mind - even of bands that I know very well. I just couldn't remember Thom Yorke's name even though I could visualise his face very clearly. I was pleased though that I knew some of the more obscure ones such as Hole and Garbage.

I 100% agree with any comment saying Mick Jones was just as much of a vocalist as Joe Strummer. Considering he went on to do Big Audio Dynamite, his career lasted longer too.
jmellor13

Level 67
Feb 5, 2025
This is flatly incorrect. Jones sang lead on maybe 15% of their songs. Two of those songs--Should I Stay Or Should I Go and Train in Vain--happen to be their most played on the radio, so it feels like he is "co-lead singer," but Joe Strummer is without question the lead singer.

Two things: 1- Nico should be added as a lead singer for Velvet Underground. 2 - Less than half the people who took the bother to do this quiz don't know who Eddie Vedder, Johnny Rotten, Roger Daltrey, Michael Stipe, Lou Reed, Thom Yorke, David Byrne and Joe Strummer are. This makes me weep. (I just omitted those who seemed less monumental to me, no offense intended)
