This shit contains tons of shit. you might want to leave now.

I think the best way to clarify the issue is looking at who is the one that really holds the reins in the group and the way in which members operate between them. Are intuitives more prone to achieve recognition because of their weird nexus with mental illness in which every teenage in his angst ages reflect upon? Kurt Cobain, Marilyn Manson, M. Bellamy. Is it safer for the media to sell that kind of product instead of a flat SJ project? Mind we are not talking about disney here.

My conclusion is that both types contribute to the music but usually the thinking head in great bands tends to be an N or an SP. This is not always the case. AC/DC should be erased from music history. SJs tend to be pushed to the background, the typical drummers, 2nd guitars, keyboards players and to a lesser extent bassists and singers (look at that guy on the keyboard of HIM i bet he's an ESFJ, he's got even a cowboy hat).

Anyway SJs contribution is elementary to implement the general idea of the band's brain (Fe - Si) . This happens because of the conviction and blinded faith placed upon his own beliefs name it Ni or Fi by the composer himself in the material produced (Fi - Si / Ni - Se). Any external interference, in many cases even at slightest details, could have an unknown effect on the vision, furthermore it unleashes rage and misery among the other band members. To cite some examples: Thom Yorke, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, long etc. SJs try to find a confortable place where they can develop/show their skills and contribuite the team. In other words in a band with a N or SP art is not likely going to be frustrated, in other cases bands will pass the ball to each other end up breaking their feets or knees and needing a stretcher to leave the field in an, at least, honorable way. Oliver and Benji kinda stuff. Ugly stuff.

Really tired to give a full list of examples for each but here are three:

Gojira - Joe and Mario Duplantier - Most likely or maybe Both Ns N / SPs , the brothers lead the composition of the songs and overall artistic direction of the band , drummer ( Duplantier ) is also photographer , painter, etc. All of them, the other musicians help the project, not to remove merit but they do not affect the core foundation of the band. Their music is beyond technique even if they still use it. It's more about the agressiveness + they certanly have a Si vibe going on, i could consider one of them being a Ne dom/aux.

Ken Tamplin - ESFJ singer of religious music , singing teacher . His music shows virtually no provision for experimentation. Linear and traditional. Little public impact throughout his career. He's got the attitude, he's charismatic, his S strong functions make him do the right pose at the right time. The problem is that it's not cool enough for Fi driven era individualistic people we live on.

Of course not all Si doms are so flat. Take in consideration this guy and the way he creates the night air with sound. The song has the same chord progression from the start to the end. Kinda similar to the typical shopping music. Just above average:

NJs - weird ambience progressivily getting darker, specially in Is
NPs - blender
SPs - Emotions and passion and not just skills.
SJs - Skills and passiveness.

my prefered combo is when bands mix NPs + SPs composers, it comes off as something like this:

Thank me later for the fun.

And now those that desire to overthrow my argument citing Metallica i'll just say they started ripping off Dave Mustaine / Burton style and from there on developed their "own" style which was pretty damn meh. SJs are really good with scores and skills tho.

I would also like to add a graphic which represents pretty much how things go.
The N - SP above will stomp upon anything that gets in his way.
The "SJ band" will pretty much nullify themselves in the process.
Of course i guess there are exeptions to the rule.

Sure passion is not just agressiveness, i see all possible responses bashing me. hahahh i don't care *runs naked into the forest screaming:
