The Cars. Ocasek got most of the lead vocals because he wrote majority of the songs.

But I believe Orr had the better voice.

Frehley - Shock Me
Simmons - Calling Dr. Love

I think 3 or 4 different guys sing for String Cheese. The problem is that none of them can sing worth a damn. Great players though.

Sometimes Pete Townshend took lead vocals, and The Who became a trio:

If you're a Cars fan and haven't watched that long-assed, rambling interview they gave a few months before Orr died (he was dying, about 115 pounds and it is hard to watch), you're missing out.

They come to a point (Ben didn't say very much) where the interviewer asked something to the effect of how Ocasek (originally Otcasek, BTW) decided who would sing what songs and he said that if he thought the song required a stronger voice, he would give it to Orr.

Take that FWIW. frick it - it's true, so why would he say it if he didn't believe it (other than to compliment Orr while he still had a chance). Either way, I'm okay with it.

You're right, but how often does the better voice not get the majority of the lead vocals?

A few times Entwistle got a lead vocal. Three vocalists sang lead for the Who.
