A lot of experimental or industrial acts fit this description.

-Wumpscut
-Lustmord
-Muslimgauze
-Leatherstrip
-Rapoon

and I'm sure many more that I'm forgetting.

...and then I got thinking about the converse of this topic: bands with names that sound like one person, like Matt Bianco, Hubert KaH, Danny Wilson.

Heh, Mazzy Star...she's great. [:D]

I think there was a guy in that band. It was two people, but Hope Sandoval is the one everyone remembers of course[:)]

Yup...Dave Roback is the other one...

cheers!

"I like lectric motors" and "Oneno", I would like to post a question : Did Bill Nelson (and his mates) ever have an album called DAS KABINETTE which contained the track THE CABINETE OF DR CALIGARI ? Please answer me this if you know.

Sisters of Mercy and the Sisterhood were always just Andrew Eldritch.

As for discounting non-writing band members, such as those mentioned in Be Bop Deluxe, the real criteria would be if the song writer made the same kind of music without them.
In this instance, I would say that Bill Nelson never made Be Bop Deluxe style music ever after.

Now Billy Corgan has managed to sound very Smashing Pumpkins even still.
