Bands In Which the Drummer is the Most Famous Member? ( no "solo" acts)

[DrakeSequation]

No solo acts like "The Ringo Starr Band" build around a drummer's previous fame.

Genesis with both Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins. The only other I can think of is Jason Bonham, although he is only (mildly) famous by proxy to papa Bonham.
