* Twisted Sister seem to suffer this. Dee Snider is a very funny talking head on music anthology list shows, and everybody else is anonymous.

*** I disagree. The other members of that band wrote and sang songs on ''Outer South''--it's a far more collaborative record than Oberst's self-titled project.

** Not really. While they had a lot of lineup changes there for awhile, the band has been consistent since 2005--through the course of two studio albums and a live record.

** This Tropers experience with the fandom is that though Thom and Jonny are usually main focus, the fans also care about Colin Greenwood and Ed O'Brien. Not so much for drummer Philip Selway though. Even their producer {{Nigel Godrich}} and the artist for their album covers (besides Thom) Stanley Donwood get more attention. This works out though as he is never in the [[IncestYay extreme]] [[RealPersonFic cheesecake]] [[Shipping some]] [[FanGirl fans]] [[Squick produce]]

** Well, considering he's technically functioning as a solo artist with the Goddamn Band as a backing band, his work would be categorized as just "Kevin Devine". The Goddamn Band didn't exist at the beginning either, nor is it actually "necessary".

**Dominic Howard and Chris Wolstenholme. Even though Matt is the most prominent member, Dom is present in enough interviews that most casual fans could probably name him. I could see Chris being completely unknown outside bass player circles, though.
