You know, Larry of the Three Stooges has been said to be unnecessary, but it would not be the same without him. Well, using that as the premise, which people were in groups but really served no purpose?

Some examples

Ronnie Devoe New Edition
Left Eye TLC: They started getting away from her rapping, and she was crazy; ask Andre Rison. However, her life was taken too soon.
Victoria Beckham Spice Girls


I know someone will say Ringo, but when you have John and Paul, what is he really supposed to do?

CSN did pretty good without Y.

Not that he didn't do pretty good all by by himself.

I’m pretty sure you know he means Jannick Gers. Don’t try to get technical. Are you referring to Adrian Smith returning for Brave New World? And he’s right…I love Maiden more than anyone but Gers was not needed after Smith returned.

They were intended to be the next Simon & Garfunkel. But John Hutchinson's name was left off the "Space Oddity" single, leaving the fame to go to his onetime partner
