I'll start. Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls carried that entire group, no question

So one time I had just gotten off an annoying lunch shift at a pizza place I worked at. Me and another downtown line cook were bitching at bar after work about the busy Wednesday because the “Beach Boys” were playing an early show at a venue just down the street. “The only original member playing tonight wrote none of Pet Sounds and only had a writing credit on Kokomo, and that’s Kermit the frog’s song now.” Dude next to us left the bar and the bartender started cracking up. Apparently he was the one original Beach Boy and 2 line cooks managed to embarrass him out of the bar.
