10 Incredible Rock Singers Who Were In TWO Great Bands
10. Dave Grohl - Nirvana/Foo Fighters
Sure, it might be stretching by putting Dave Grohl on this list, but his star power has truly made him unable to be tied to one band. For most fans, Grohl has been known as the drummer of Nirvana and the songwriting mastermind behind the Foo Fighters, but where does the singing come in?
Though the Foos give Grohl a chance to let out his rockstar self, Nirvana didn't really lend itself to that kind of style due to the effortless star power of Kurt Cobain. Even though Grohl may not have had a hand in a ton of Nirvana's tracks, his vocal debut actually started with the grunge trio, with the B-side "Marigold" being a mellow departure from the band's usual feral attack.
In fact, Grohl was originally supposed to collaborate with Cobain with his own material on the follow up to 1993's In Utero, but things quickly went south when Cobain started to spiral, leading to his death in 1994.
Determined to pull himself out of depression, Grohl went into the studio and made the Foos' debut record all by himself. In addition to creating one of the biggest bands in the world, Grohl's collaborations with everyone from Queens of the Stone Age to Tenacious D shows how much of a musical marvel he truly is.
