8 Maroon 5 Maroon 5 is an American pop/pop rock band that originated in Los Angeles, California. Before the current group was established, the original four members, Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael Mickey Madden and Ryan Dusick, formed a band known as Kara's Flowers in 1994, while they were still in high school.

Adam Levine is an A-Class celebrity, whereas everyone else is literally a ghost (Unless you're a huge Maroon 5 fan). I'm pretty sure you've heard of Levine someplace outside of the band, which is really unfortunate when nobody knows any of his bandmates nor what sort of instruments they play, let alone their personal lives.

9 Drowning Pool Drowning Pool is an American Nu-Metal band formed in Dallas, Texas in 1996. The band was named after the film The Drowning Pool.
10 Papa Roach Papa Roach is an American rock band from Vacaville, California. Formed in 1993, their first major-label release was the triple-platinum album Infest.
