Top 10 Best Two Person Bands

1. The White Stripes

   

   The White Stripes were an American rock duo formed in 1997 in Detroit, Michigan. The duo consisted of Jack White (born Jack Gillis), who handled songwriting, vocals, guitar, bass, and keyboards, and Meg White, who played drums and provided backing vocals. Jack adopted Meg's surname after their marriage... read more

2. The Black Keys

   

   The Black Keys is an American indie rock and blues rock duo formed in Akron, Ohio, in 2001 by Dan Auerbach (vocals, guitar) and Patrick Carney (drums).

   The band has often been compared to The White Stripes, as both are garage rock duos known for a stripped-down sound and use of low-fidelity recording... read more

   Their style is rare, and it keeps me coming back for more.

   Every album is unique and original, and they are absolutely fantastic to listen to.

3. Tenacious D

   

   Tenacious D is an American comedy rock duo formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1994. The group consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Jack Black and lead guitarist and vocalist Kyle Gass. They have released several albums, including Tenacious D, The Pick of Destiny, and Rize of the Fenix.

   They are so good. Go on YouTube and look up Death Star live at BlizzCon. Listen to the whole thing, minus the end. You may say it isn't two people, but they have done concerts with just them. They are very good, so don't be upset that they are one. It is debatable, and I could most likely win the argument.

   Tenacious D: Jack Black and Kyle Gass, and sometimes featuring Dio and Dave Grohl. The Pick of Destiny is my favorite rock-related movie, next to School of Rock and The End of the End.

4. Twenty One Pilots

   

   Twenty One Pilots is an American musical duo from Columbus, Ohio, best known for their hits "Stressed Out," "Heathens," and "Ride." The band formed in 2009 with Tyler Joseph, Nick Thomas, and Chris Salih. Today, the lineup consists of Tyler Joseph (lead vocals. Piano. Keyboards. Synthesizers. Ukulele... read more

   Twenty One Pilots was not my favorite until Trench came out, and it became my favorite band. My friends and I go to each other's houses and sing some of the songs and listen to them when we play video games. I would say this is the best band ever.

   I've been a fan for a long time, and I have to say Twenty One Pilots is amazing. Their lyrics have meaning, and Tyler and Josh are great people in general.

   Always the best of the best. Josh and Tyler are the people who keep me alive.

5. Simon & Garfunkel

   

   Simon and Garfunkel were an American folk rock duo composed of singer-songwriter Paul Simon and singer Art Garfunkel. They rose to fame in the 1960s with hits like The Sound of Silence, Mrs. Robinson, and Bridge Over Troubled Water. The duo is known for their harmonious vocals and socially conscious... read more

   Simon and Garfunkel are truly one of the greatest gifts God has ever given to us. Deep lyrics and soothing music.

6. Death from Above 1979

7. Local H

   In my opinion, Local H isn't only the best two-piece band. They're one of the best bands to combine grunge and plain old rock to create hard-hitting tunes. They really resonate with me, at least. They could very easily be the textbook definition of rock.

   Their live sets inspire riots.

8. Matt & Kim

9. Tears for Fears

   

   Tears for Fears are an English pop and rock band formed in 1981 by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith. They were founded after the breakup of their earlier band, the mod-influenced Graduate. Initially associated with new wave and synthesizer-driven music, they later shifted toward mainstream rock and pop.... read more

   Been listening since 1985, since Shout and Everybody Wants to Rule the World (the Dennis Miller theme) came out. I thought they had folded, but recently found out they're going on tour in 2019. What rock have I been under?

10. Royal Blood

    

    Royal Blood is an English rock duo formed in Brighton, East Sussex, in 2013. The band consists of bassist and vocalist Mike Kerr and drummer Ben Thatcher. Their sound is influenced by blues rock, garage rock, hard rock, and psychedelic rock, and their self-titled debut album reached number one on the... read more

    If you see them live, you would put them at number one. I've been listening to them since they opened up for Foo Fighters in Camden, NJ. But when my number one favorite band, "Queens of the Stone Age," announced a tour, it said Royal Blood is opening up for them at Festival Pier. I immediately got tickets. Three months later, they played their set, and I was front row. Both bands kicked absolute ass. Royal Blood is now my second favorite band.

    The best: bluesy, dirty modern rock with a hint of metal. You haven't lived until you've heard their debut album.
