bands with multiple lead singers

[luvgiraf]

More Alan Parsons Project (Eric Woolfson on lead vocals):

 

[Wasn’t me]

We can’t leave Keith Moon out - Bell Boy - Quadrophenia - lucky enough to see him 2x with The Who

 

[Bigboote]

Grand Funk Railroad -- Mark Farner and Don Brewer (another singing drummer). They trade lines in the middle of this one.

Loggins and Messina- of course they sang together, but sometimes one was the prime lead singer. "Be Free" is sung by Jim Messina, and "Sailin the Wind" is Kenny Loggins:

I’m somewhere between surprised and shocked that 10cc hadn’t occurred to me till now. They weren’t a supergroup, but they might’s well have been, having all written, recorded, played with, and/or produced many major acts before they set out on their own. All four were legitimate lead singers. I’m pretty sure they all take a turn at singing lead on this one.

The original Wailers had three leads. Bob and Peter cowrote and share verses on this one.

Bunny & Peter were highly underrated vocalists. Burning & Catch A Fire are classics. The Wailers. Didn't become BMW until Bunny & Peter left after those 2 albums.

Nobody has mentioned the Temptations? I know they had multiple lead singers at the same time, David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks being the most well known.

 

[Spaceman213J]

I admit I went through the previous posts quickly. Did anybody mention The Beach Boys? Or for more modern examples... Blink 182 and Linkin Park.

Was surprised how long it was before someone mentioned The Beatles.

 

[Spaceman213J]

The Beach Boys were mentioned. How about The Clash? And another modern example Taking Back Sunday.

Blink 182 and Linkin Park.

I didn't know about Blink. I almost posted something by Linkin Park but must've forgotten to do it.

 

[Spaceman213J]

I didn't know about Blink. I almost posted something by Linkin Park but must've forgotten to do it.

With Blink, Tom Delonge leads on songs like All The Small Things, Mutt and more, Mark Hoppus on Adam's Song, What's My Age Again, The Rock Show... and more and they share lead duties on songs like I Miss You, Edging. And when Tom left for a while, I think the guy from Alkaline Trio joined. I know he even joined them on stage sometime this year again, but it sounds like Tom is still back and they are already working on their next album.

Missed this thread. Most obvious for me is the Beach Boys.
Bands I didn't see listed in skimming through the thread.

Chicago. Peter Cetera and two baritones, Terry Kath and Robert Lamm.
The Eagles. Frey, Henley, Walsh. Like the Beach Boys, lots of harmonies.

Edit: I see the mentions now.

Fleetwood Mac was mentioned, as it should be with 3 lead singers in the Rumours era. But the original vocalist wasn't one of those, it was Peter Green.

 

[HuskyHawk]

The Band certainly belongs here. Levon Helm, Richard Manuel and Rick Danko all traded parts on different songs.

Robbie sang lead at times too.

 

[Lafayette]

Zero 7 for sure (and surprise if you didn't know who sang with them).

 

[husky8273]

Grateful Dead - Pig Pen, Jerry, Bobby, Phil all sang lead on some songs.

 

[superjohn]

Squeeze- Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford and of course Paul Carrack on Tempted

 

[Jackcatscal]

Grateful Dead - Pig Pen, Jerry, Bobby, Phil all sang lead on some songs.

Continuing with Dead & Company, where Bob, John Mayer, and Oteill all sing lead at times.
