Top 10 Bands With Members Who Don’t Play Anything

Mighty Mighty Bosstones: If this category ever gets a Hall Of Fame — and lord willing, it will — The Mighty Mighty Bosstones’ dancer Ben Carr will be the first inductee.

In today's Listomania, we unveil our favorite 10 bands who have a member that doesn't play or do anything, and that's no intended sleight to these critical players, whether they be hypemen, "vibes managers," or just token old dudes to round out a musical family. Honorable mention goes out to Broken Social Scene's fourth guitar player, or to any band who has more guitarists than three -- we've ran the numbers, and there's a huge marginal decline after that third guitarist. Anyway, check out the list and let us know who we might have missed in the comments.
