List of Bands That Are Couples, loosely ranked by fame and popularity. Music is a very personal outlet and it can unify people in a totally unique way. It's no surprise that some very successful bands are comprised of members who are romantically involved. While a couple can create magical music, the end of a romantic relationship usually means the end of a band.
Who is the most famous band that is a couple? Blondie tops our list. Blondie was formed in 1974 by Debbie Harry, Chris Stein, Clem Burke, Jimmy Destri and Gary Valentine. Harry and Stein became romantically involved during their time in Blondie together, and while they have never married, they have been together since the 70s. The band split up in 1982 due to various tensions amongst the members. Blondie has since gotten back together for several reunion tours.
Arcade Fire formed in 2001. Current members include Win Butler, Regine Chassagne, Richard Reed Parry, William Butler, Jeremy Gara and Tim Kingsbury. Win Butler and Regine Chasagne got married in 2003. The couple and the band are still strong today. Other bands that are comprised of couples include The White Stripes, Matt and Kim and Sonic Youth.
