=== [[Real Life]] ===
* Of course, this happens outside the music industry. Bet you can't name more than two men who walked on the moon.
* [[Monty Python|The Pythons]] that aren't John Cleese, occasionally. Eric Idle even [[Lampshade Hanging|hung a lampshade]] on it in a 30- or 40-year anniversary special{{verify}} by naming them as "John...[[The Beatles (band)|Paul...George...and]]...[[Spike Milligan|Spike]]".
* In a non-music example, [[John Romero]] was this for [[Id Software]] at the height of their ''[[Doom]]''-based popularity. This was encouraged by the other company members, who preferred to avoid the spotlight anyway.
** If you read the credits at the time, American McGee wasn't an easily forgotten name. Even before ''[[American McGee's Alice|Alice]]''.
** After Romero left (and fell from grace), programmer [[John Carmack]], who creates all of id's engines, started to get his recognition.
* Thanks to his [[Shameless Self Promoter|constant efforts at self-promotion]], many people are under the impression that [[Stan Lee]] singlehandedly created all the [[Marvel Comics|Marvel superheroes]]. This is even more the case after the latest wave of Marvel
* Apparently a lot of people believe that the entire Apple Corporation consists of Steve Jobs putting together laptops and iPods in his garage. When people began hearing that Jobs was in bad health, Apple's stock took a dive.
* [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] ''is'' [[Nintendo]] to most people, even when the company has enlisted other talented producers like [[The Legend of Zelda|Eiji Aonuma]] and [[Kirby|Masahiro]] [[Super Smash Bros.|Sakurai]].
