Creative Differences

Do bands need two headstrong forthright members with that hint of genius about both to make something truly special?

        I'm sure there are plenty of solo artists who would disagree.

                  I'm swiftly coming to the conclusion I actually know very little about music...

                    Doherty/Barat are a prime example.

        That's the one I thought of! Perfect example of 2 songwriters constantly trying to out-do each other which led to greatness!

      Trend bucking wise:

      Ian Curtis?

      Parnerships, Gilmour/Waters or is that stretching it a bit?

        Curtis/hook

        You cant ignore peter hooks bass work, it was vital to the joy division sound. Hence so many people, including a lot of guitarists citing him as an influence.

    The only BS album they're both on is the worst one :P

    Although I agree both were great in their own right.

      Smiley, Bell was actually on Radio City as well. For some reason he was uncredited.

      Jagger/Richards

      Just going off topic slightly, what I can't understand is singers who take the credits for the songs of their band e.g. Julian Cassablancas gets the sole credits for the Strokes songs. Does he sit down & write every last bit of the tune, then shows the band how to play, like they're hired hands? Surely that can't be true?

        I think if you listen to the strokes you can tell that there's a controlling pair of hands at the root of everything. In my opinion they'd be much better if it wasn't just Casablancas and there was some creative dichotomy.

    Bono/The Edge
    Yorke/Greenwood
    Anderson/Butler
    Difford/Tilbrook
    Hetfield/Ulrich

    That's as many as I can think of at the moment.

      The one I thought of instantly was Bixler-Zavala/Rodriguez-Lopez... Sadly fullerov beat me to it but its nice to know someone agrees with me on a that.
