Pretty much every tag team has one. Even if it isn't super clear or both guys are fairly even, one is almost always better or had a stronger singles run. When deciding if there is any exceptions to this rule, I thought of some that spring to mind:
Public Enemy
Misawa & Kobashi
Jumbo & Tenryu
The Wild Samoans
The Ascension
The Highlanders
The Dicks
The Heart Throbs
The Gymini
8-Ball & Skull (The Harris Brothers)
& ofcourse Los Conquistadores
Most but not all of these are teams that never truly broke up and either partner didn't have a notable singles career.
Three modern examples I can think of are the Revival, AOP and American Alpha but ofcourse since this is classic, forget I ever said that.

The Ding Dongs
The Conquistadors
(Wow, imagine them in a feud!!)
The Headhunters
The Cole Twins
The Highlanders
The Bushwhackers
The Beverley Brothers
The Harris Brothers
The Miracle Violence Connection
The Colossal Kongs
Sheik and Volkoff maybe?
The Koloffs? Nikita was heralded as a potential up and comer at one point and Ivan was a former WWF world champ.
What about the Killer Bees? Wasn’t Brian Blair in AWA or was he just a jobber to the stars/mid carder like Brunzell?
The Dream Team, Rhythm & Blues and the Nasty Boys are debatable and I personally can’t quite decide.

Okay, well let's be honest, everyone is pretty much naming off tag teams who didn't split up and if they did, they didn't have a huge break up.
To me a tag team that didn't have a Jannetty when they broke up was the New Age Outlaws. Both Billy Gunn and Road Dogg were gonna be fine on their own. And they were in 1999 when they split. And in 2000 again when they split. It wasn't like one of them did nothing while the other did great things. Both were super over one way or the other.
Edge and Christian
They broke up in 2001 and both went on to win the IC Title, Christian won the European Title, both went on to win the Tag Titles with different partner, and both went on to win World Titles.
Same with Jeff and Matt Hardy
So there is quite a few right there that didn't have the Jannetty complex to one of the teammates.

Yeah I didn't include the Nastys since Knobbs had a brief singles run and is generally considered the more well known of the two (that isn't to say he was better, he just did more). |

I'd say the APA didn't have a guy in the "Janetty" role. It may have been at different times, but they both had main event runs.
