Maroon 5 is headlining the Super Bowl LIII halftime show in Atlanta despite the fact nobody knows who they are. Sure, on a macro level we all have at least some understanding of the band, but outside of Adam Levine can you honestly say, without looking at your phone, that you can name a single other member of the band?
Can you name a member of Maroon 5 beside Adam Levine?

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Here at SB Nation.com we sure couldn’t, and judging from your answers on social media you couldn’t either.
This wasn’t just a Twitter thing either — nobody on Facebook had a clue either.
“Singy Man, Guitar Boy, Bassy McBassington, Drumsy and Plays Another Instrument Joe. I assume there’s five of them.” — Jonny O’Brien
“Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, Mike and Ralph.” — Kraven Moorehead
“It’s not just the one dude?” — Joey Cocco
“Adam Levine, Sky Austin, Brent Dwade, Ricardo Shilly Shally and Tondoleya De La Ventimiglia.” — Michael Angelo Rayo
Okay, so just to be nice to Maroon 5 here are their names so everyone knows:
Adam Levine, Johan Graus, William Smith, Johnny D’Angelo, Steve Burton, T.J. Dunnah and Elvis LeGrange.
That was a total lie — but you believed it because you have no clue either.
Their real names (promise) are:
- Adam Levine
- Jesse Carmichael
- Mickey Madden
- James Valentine
- Matt Flynn
- PJ Morton
- Sam Farrar
