Didn't The Band have a buncha different singers too? I'm not familiar with them, but I thought I read that once that everyone in the band sang lead at some point in their career.

What about Pink Floyd? Gilmour and Waters sang lead (on separate songs) all the time.

Yes they all did and on their most famous song 'The Weight' three of the members take a turn on a lead vocal.

I'm a pretty big fan of the band Sloan (out of Canada). All four members within the band not only are responsible for writing, but they also share the lead vocals. It's a pretty cool dynamic.

Jerry did some of the lead vocals on the last two albums with Layne.

Since others have mentioned bands with more than two singers then we can count America.

Blue Oyster Cult, at least during the early days. Eric, Buck, Al, and Joe all sang different tracks. Allen even sung one.

I think it was the bass player that sang "Back On the Road Again" for REO Speedwagon, he might have sang more. Not a big fan, so I'm not sure.

You could sort of count Yngwie since he tends to do lead vocals on at least one song per album and always sings at least one live.

Queen: Brian May and (I think) Roger Taylor sang lead on a few songs. All three surviving members also took turns on "No-One but You (Only the Good Die Young)".

Another criteria is both vocalists have to be regualr contributors. There are some bands where one other member will do lead vocals for one song but they aren't who I'm thinking of. This is my list (apart from 3 Inches Of Blood, I can't think of any power, thrash, or any extreme band that has this feature, but that's just me-also, there may be some I forgot):

Styx-Tommy Shaw & Dennis DeYoung
Night Ranger-Jack Blades & Kelly Keagy
Kiss-Paul Stanley & Gene Simmons
.38 Special-Jeff Carlisi/Don Barnes & Donnie Van Zant
Kerry Livgren (When Things Get Electric line-up)-Darren Rogers & Jason Beddoe
The Storm-Gregg Rolie & Kevin Chalfant
Atomic Opera-Kemper Crabb & Frank Heart
King's X-Doug Pinnick & Ty Tabor
Galactic Cowboys-Ben Huggins & Monty Colvin
3 Inches Of Blood-Cam Pipes & Jamie Hooper

I really liked Ben and Monty's voices for Galactic Cowboys. Makes me want to listen to their stuff right now...

I count GB as one of my top 20 bands of all time.
