DonS 3,243 Posted May 15 Wrapping up a long ass business trip drinking beers in the hotel and listening to music. Got me thinking about a decent (hopefully) non-political topic. What bands do you enjoy which have more than one member which take lead vocal duties on songs? Here's a couple bands to get it started... Queen: aside from Freddie Mercury some of my favorite songs are sung by Brian May and Roger Taylor Blue Öyster Cult: Eric Bloom and Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser What do you hömös got?

jerryskids 6,184 Posted May 15 Good topic. I'll start with Chicago: Terry Kath (my favorite), Peter Cetera, and Robert Lamm. Also the Beatles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DonS 3,243 Posted May 15 Fleetwood Mac is another good example. So many classic songs all sung by different members. Edit: don't think I've really listened to Fleetwood Mac with quality ear buds until just now until after making this post. Stevie Nicks vocals on "Dreams" is foxking amazing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeenHereBefore 1,404 Posted May 15 Seems like the 70's bands did it more and kinda died out after that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonS 3,243 Posted May 15 3 minutes ago, BeenHereBefore said: Seems like the 70's bands did it more and kinda died out after that. Agreed. With Queen I think it was due to getting away from songs where Freddie would play piano when May or Taylor would sing. As the music shifted to more electronic based songs it left him with less to contribute when he wasn't singing. Sadly I think the earlier years were their best when they had more variety.

As incredibly talented the group was, he was the real musical genius which put all the pieces together. This performance is off the chain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
