SupertrampStyx

For me it's Styx and Foreigner.
Add one more pairing - Rush and Yes - and you have a quadruvium of AOR that seemed interesting at the time but has aged badly. Add REO Speedwagon and Chicago, it's a sextet of boring.
I hate Supertramp but I am not in danger of confusing them with anyone else. I firmly believe that tenor voices and falsetto were in vogue in the 70s because they worked on the radio and could cut through chunky guitars (cf. Robert Plant and his many spiritual descendents).
I am also working on a companion theory that lower male voices coming into the culture (cf. Crash Test Dummies and the late-career resurgence of Johnny Cash) were partly a result of better audio technology.

Those are interesting theories!

I do not have the energy for an exhaustive study but one could look at male vocal ranges vs. chart positions there may well be a trend.
Bon Scott, Steve Perry-era Journey. Look at Paul Simon solo vs. Simon & Garfunkel. I believe better studio tech (and the parallel development of better home sound systems at home) may have allowed Simon to function effectively alone, and he needed Art less and less.
This is probably not the thread for it though

Add REO Speedwagon and Chicago, it's a sextet of boring.
Largely agree, but early Chicago still holds up, and "Roll with the Changes" is a banger.

Daisy Ridley is the great-niece of Arnold Ridley! Not sure that makes her a nepo baby though.

Careers overlapped by three years ('85-87), both played for the Brewers. I had to choose one of them for Immaculate Grid today--Brewers/Jays--went with O'Brien and got it right. Charlie Moore would have worked too!
