Dire Straits. Apparently there were other people in the band besides Mark Knopfler. Name one.

George Thorogood and The Destroyers
For the same reason I wouldn't include Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band or Bob Marley and the Wailers. If anyone has ever assembled more talented backing bands, I'd love to hear of it.

David, his brother.
Pick Withers.
Yeah, I figured someone would be able to.
Gaslight anthem I saw a few years back. They were very boring to watch play. Just stood there. Was still a great concert but not eye catchingOthers:
The Gaslight Anthem - Brian Fallon is a great lyricist, and IMO carries the band with his songwriting. The guitarist plays simple leads, bassist isn’t memorable and drummer plays pretty standard pop-punk beats mostly.
Manchester Orchestra - Another band centred around good lyrics and great singing. Think Andy Hull actually plays a bit of lead himself, and trades off guitar lines with the other guitarist. Drummer, bassist, keyboardist are nothing to write home about.
Silverchair - Daniel Johns is far and away the most talented, and mid-way through their career he’d essentially just write an album and call the other members of the band in once the songs were almost finished.
The White Stripes - Obvious nod, but Meg White is a human metronome for Jack White’s virtuosic guitar work.

Bands with siblings are always easier to remember IMO.
But your point is well made, the band is/was basically Knopfler and Co.
I was going to nominate Ziggy and the Spiders but Bolder, Ronson and Woodmansey were all fantastic musicians in their own right
The more I think about this, the more terrible this call becomes. Muse was a live three piece for a long, long time, often with Bellamy playing songs only on piano. Maintaining those chaotic, intense musical dynamics would never have happened if Wolstenholme wasn’t as prolific with his unique and more than competent ability to write and play quite complex bass lines with his signature style and sound.

Crazy Horse.
Setzer is more than good he's an incredible guitarist complete virtuoso.To a certain degree, Brian Setzer of The Stray Cats.
Not an amazing frontman, but a good, bluesy guitarist and the only member of that band who was even close to nameworthy. Later appeared on the Simpsons.
