Lol actually he's one I would have a difficult time placing because "The E Street Band" has seemed to have varying levels of importance throughout his career, instead of an either/or proposition. So yeah, sometimes I'd say he's a solo act and others very much the lead singer of a band.

You're the one who came in to the post threads to deliberately poop all over what others were saying.

How lovely of you to presume.

I'm coming at this from the perspective of a multigenerational musician, who grew up with recording artists of various levels of popularity around the house, and who has both been the lead singer, the solo artist, and the writer who wasn't even on stage.

And I still disagree.

And songwriting is not the same as performance. Never has been. Never will be.

Just off the names given you've said yourself that "+ The Machine" and also 'the Night Sweats" make 'Florence' and 'Nathaniel Rateliff' both members of bands instead of solo acts.

The White Stripes was a band (albeit with only two members) while Jack White as a solo artist is a different concept. He also made music with The Dead Weather and The Raconteurs, both bands in which he was a member.

Micheal Jackson was a member of the Jackson Five before becoming a solo artist. Nobody ever thought he wrote and performed all the music, but there really aren't many people (outside of those in this post fighting against gravity) who would say he wasn't a solo act.

If Nick Cave releases a song with The Bad Seeds it's a group effort, if it's released under his name alone it's as a solo artist.

There's thousands of examples.

Edit- and I really don't know much about Bon Iver, but I probably ought to.

Rina Sawayama's version of Enter Sandman is seriously good.

That's good! At least I'm not the only one lol.

Lmao okay, so now another person wants to conflate 'solo act' with 'solely responsible'. That's fine, because just like with the other person, it doesn't change the definition for the rest of us, which is that a solo act is one that performs as the main interest, the reason the rest of the performers are even there.

Please, tell me about the Elton John concert you saw or heard about where Elton wasn't there lol.

Edit - or about any time an Elton John concert was postponed because Bernie Taupin had a head cold and couldn't sing.

It’s a banger for sure, but modern metal has so much more to offer. I would not even consider this in my top 100 metal songs.

1. Kelly Clarkson - Since U been gone

2. Maren Morris, zedd, grey- The middle

3. Cascada - Everytime we touch

4. Orianthi - According to you

5. Leona Lewis - Bleeding love

I'm sure, someone else mentioned nostalgia. So current, want and past.

Feel free to suggest some.

Cool, it's okay to have a bad take you won't drop, since it doesn't affect anyone else.

Who cares if Bernie Taupin co-wrote the songs with Elton John? He isn't a performing musician. You keep trying to say things that make no sense while presuming that others will agree. I don't. Others don't. The meaning of the words you're using don't agree with the intent you have given them.

That makes sense 😊
