Snarky Puppy

Preoccupations
That name change is gonna hurt the band I think...
I miss creative Di'anno-era Steve. He was better than modern triplets only Steve.

Early Korn
Pink Floyd
kek
Magma
This and Riverside
Hella

thin lizzy
But still, Iron Maiden is better with Bruce on vocals.
Royal blood.
Alex writes a lot of the material tho
the police
His basslines make up the chord progressions in most Joy Division songs and the guitar just sort of dances around them and in New Order he was basically the equivalent of a lead guitarist.
Death from Above 79
No one mentioned Om yet ?
So Om
SBTRKT
Motorhead
Don't get me wrong I love Dunn but there's no way in hell that he's the creative force of Mr. Bungle, no joke. Now him alongside Patton and Spruance, hell yes but alone? I don't think so.
really? out of all of them i'd assume Tommy would be the main creative force behind the band, but then i always figured they all contributed equally given the nature of the band
steele
Well I mean, you're not wrong
...
kek
Migos
I really don't care as long as their next album lives up to the last.
...
Hella
NOFX
NoMeansNo
Both drummer and the bassist are main writers
I don't know if he's the leader but I swear to fuck he comes up with the best bass lines and that tone is something else, Jesus Lizard would suck without him
Billy Cobham
Overall better but less diverse imo. Too many songs follow the same formula.
Death From Above 1979
Millencolin
The Police
Ye but I'm pretty sure Peart is the main lyricist
Is that Howard Moon?
les claypool, but nice try user
Greatest band of all time.
