There are indeed bands known for their exceptional guitar work but subpar vocals, and vice versa.
One notable example is The Troggs, an English rock band from the 1960s. They are famous for their catchy guitar riffs and solos, particularly in their hit song "Wild Thing." However, their vocal performances have been criticized as lacking melody and polish.
On the other hand, there are bands with incredible vocal talent but guitar work that falls short. For instance, the band Boston is renowned for their soaring vocal harmonies and powerful lead vocals. However, their guitar solos, although competent, are not particularly memorable or influential.
It's worth noting that opinions on guitar solos and vocal performances can be subjective, and what one person considers exceptional, another person might not appreciate as much. Nonetheless, there are many bands that exhibit a notable discrepancy between their guitar work and vocal performances.
