1. AC/DC

(Dave Evans, Bon Scott, Brian Johnson, ?)

Prior to the mighty Bon Scott joining AC/DC, the Aussie rockers were fronted by Dave Evans for roughly 10 months, before he parted ways with the band. (Depending on who you ask, he was booted due to “jealousy” or disagreements with others in the camp.) Scott guided AC/DC to rock’s upper echelons before dying after a night out in February 1980. Enter vocalist Brian Johnson, who kept the band in arena-caliber shape for the next 35-plus years, until suddenly being forced to quit touring in early March, or else risk losing his hearing for good. To the delight or dismay of fans, AC/DC has vowed to keep motoring down the highway to hell with a new singer—inexplicably rumored to be Axl Rose—and finish out U.S. tour dates it canceled.

[Update 5/5/2020: Axl Rose did end up filling in for Johnson, who has since returned to the band and is working with them on new music.]
