Fozzy

The original name of the band was Fozzy Osbourne, which of course was taken off Ozzy Osbourne, and was only a cover band, but they later changed the name, and began writing their own songs. Chris Jericho led a different persona known as McQueen, which was later dropped. They have five albums including Chasing the Grail which was released in January of 2010. With five albums, and multiple singles, Chris Jericho, both in the ring, and out, has made a name for himself in both sports entertainment, along with musical entertainment.
Iggy and the Stooges

This band hasn't sold many records, but are honored with being known as the band that started the punk rock era. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010. Though the span of years this band has been known is large, they have only released for albums to date, the last one being in 2007. Through the break-up ages, Iggy acheived solo success as well.
