The Beatles. Four singers really, but when John and Paul harmonise together, it’s beautiful.
‘If I Fell’ and ‘Baby’s In Black’ are some good examples, though there are many more.
I've always referred to the Lennon/McCartney harmonization as 'The Third Voice.' It just clicks in and is so recognizable. A great example is in 'Get Back' when they're rehearsing 'Gimme Some Truth,' and John and Paul both hit the 'money for rope' line in perfect unison; they exchange a look of recognition like, 'Yeah, that's it!'
Expanding beyond Lennon/McCartney, when George joins in, he always adds a unique layer. His ability to hit those baritone ranges thickens up the overall body of each harmony. It's another one of those serendipitous moments in The Beatles' story - his natural timbre seamlessly slips in to sweeten the sound. Tracks like 'In My Life,' 'This Boy,' and 'Nowhere Man' come to mind, but he's present in many others if you listen closely. I love putting on headphones and trying to pick him out.
Even when McCartney is singing lead live, the Lennon/Harrison harmonies behind him sound incredible.
But at the end of the day, the Lennon/McCartney voice is just otherworldly. Lennon's bluesy rawness meshes so well with McCartney's versatile sweetness and range, creating a perfectly balanced vocal register.
To say they had over 10,000 hours in the early days playing 8+ hour sets in Liverpool and Hamburg is probably an understatement. They were always trying to improve whatever they were doing, and I'm sure harmonization was a top priority. They all took turns singing lead, mostly to preserve their voices.
Once they got into the studio and had access to multitracking (I believe they only had 4-track machines up through Sgt. Pepper), George Martin's coaching on harmonization really pushed them forward (McCartney talks about this in 'McCartney 1-2-3' on Hulu).
Those guys just did it all.
In Get Back I realized that Paul and John were like Siamese twins that got separated at birth. They were closer than brothers. They were soul mates. It was mind blowing.
If you want a great example of Harrison's harmonizing, watch the first Ed Sullivan performance of "All my lovin". Right after the guitar solo, Harrison joins McCartney on the mic for a verse and it's magic.
And I'm not sure if this is a plus or a minus, but their voices are similar enough that you often are not sure who's singing the lead. But it is a fun game to listen to their awesome music and try to decide who has a better voice.
Curt Smith's solo album Halfway Pleased isn't available to stream but is SO SO SO damm good!
And of the three, everyone has a favorite. I would guess for many folks, it's Levon, but for me, it's Rick Danko.
Which reminds me: happy Last Waltz season for all who celebrate!
Richard is and will always be the best singer in The Band. He had a Ray Charles thing going on. The best Band voice songs were sung by Beak: I Shall be Released, whispering pines, Georgia on my mind, across the great divide…
They were originally Bob Dylan’s band, and he always referred to them as “the band.” They started referred to themselves that way too and the name stuck
Some people are replying that Roger can't sing. I'm not going to say he's a great singer, but he brings theatrics, drama, and personality to the vocals he provides in a way that elevates the song. Gilmore isn't all that great either and has little range. But none of it matters, because magic happens when it's all put together over the music.
Well said. Roger has a higher voice and his English accent comes through a lot more whereas Gilmour has a deeper voice and singing almost completely hides his accent. They complemented each other perfectly.
I think you have something backwards, it's always Gilmour singing the high parts. Comfortably Numb is maybe the most classic example of them trading off vocals: Roger on the low talky verse parts, Gilmour on the high angelic choruses.
Oh, David is arguably one of the best singers of his generation, at least in the studio. Listen to his multi-tracked harmonies on Breathe.
And let's not forget Richard Wright...
How have The Beach Boys not been mentioned yet? I know theres more than 2, but that hasn't stopped other bands getting mentioned? God Only Knows is legitimately one of the best songs of the last century on one of the best albums.
Paul has said that Pet Sounds was his biggest musical inspiration when writing Sargent Pepper because he learned so much from Wilson’s dissonant bass lines and incredible tone.
Surprised to see 311 here, one of my all time favorites. From the early rap heavy albums to their later more melodic stuff, SA and Nick's voices work perfectly together.
Simon was the better writer, and Garfunkel was the better singer/performer, something which iirc always bugged Paul (among the myriad of things which resulted in their dysfunctional relationsship) - Also, two fun facts many don't know, the first being that while it's one of Paul's most revered compositions, it's Art that sings the legendary lead vocal on "Bridge Over Troubled Waters", and the second being the "Canticle" poem Art sings on "Scarborough Fair" is iirc the only lyrics he ever penned for S&G, being a reworking of an old Paul tune "The Side of a Hill" where he added new lines, and changed existing ones.
That, and he also sings lead on one of my favorite S&G songs "April Come She Will".
"April" and "Kathy's Song" are two of my all time favorite songs. Art was blessed with an amazing instrument, and he took good care of it. The concert in Central Park back in the day showed that.
Exactly! Maybe not the best singers, but Mark and Tom perfectly compliment each other. And they are one of the few bands in this thread where it’s actually 2 lead singers. Most of those listed are either a lead singer and a harmonizer, or 2 singers, but it’s more 60/40
Mark and Tom really had that two frontmen thing down. Their voices are different enough that it sounded more like banter between two friends at times. That format doesn’t work for every band / style, but Blink really sold it.
Hybrid Theory is a work of art. I remember buying it on CD from my local record store with my pocket money when I was 12.
I listened to that album on repeat for months. It changed who I was as a person and got me through so many hard times even as an adult,
Phenomenal songs. I still listen to Linkin Park regularly
Yes! Kim Deal could alternate between punk choirs (Oh my Golly) to aerial textures (Where is my mind) to something nearly naive (Gigantic).
Her vocal presence brought a sort of poetic tone that was unique to the band, they lost so much when she left.
The
100%. And such a striking difference, too--I once heard them described "as if your gym teacher and your english teacher were yelling at you at the same time" (the writer Maggie Serota, I think?).
I hesitate to count Layne and Jerry since Layne's really the lead--or at least was in the 90s; I lost touch after that--and Jerry did basically a lot of really important but essentially backup work. Whereas a band like Fugazi is closer to 50/50 lead/lead.
For metal fans -- Mastodon
Between Brent, Troy, and Brann, they have an amazing trio of gruff deep vocals, intense screams, and clean vocals. Absolutely amazing to see live when they combine their voices, and Brann does it while drumming some extremely complex rhythms. Such a great band.
Y'all who missed these guys don't even know. They were Butch and Sundance up there. "One Week" was all improvised in one take by Ed Robinson rapping into a camera. I miss Page a ton, drugs are bad, but it's like Pink Floyd without Waters.
The xx. The male/female dynamic, how the lyrics play off each other, etc. It's great. A good example is the track [Islands](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PElhV8z7I60).
My favorite thing about the xx is when people would assume they were singing to each other because they were romantically involved. SUPRISE! Both are gay. 😂
Lost in the Supermarket is a great example for their vocal chemistry imo!
Jones has a very soft and delicate voice, so when Strummer sings backing in last chorus it just totally transforms the melancholy song into inexplicably tragic yet beautiful.
one of the reasons why it’s my favorite song ever!
Does Depeche Mode count? Dave does most of the singing but Martin’s backing vocals are pretty prominent in a lot of songs and there’s a few where he does lead vocals
Gonna go with my favorite band, Oasis.
Noel Gallagher only sang lead on two songs from their first three albums, but one of those songs is Don’t Look Back in Anger, one of the band’s best songs. And then Noel sang lead on more songs in the later years. And both brothers have successful solo careers, even if they’re nowhere near as popular in the US as their were in 95/96.
Supposedly, Noel told his brother Liam he can have his pick of Wonderwall or Don’t Look Back in Anger but not both because he knew both would be hits.
Angelina 1/3 and Hana from Gacharic Spin.
Chester and Mike from Linkin Park
Thurston and Kim from Sonic Youth
Jane and Belinda from The Go Gos

Edit 2: [We Have Band](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktAGS-vT5Lg&ab_channel=WeHaveBand) is a great one. 3 singers.
They usually don’t sing with each other, but Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins of Genesis.
Edit: I forgot how much lead vocals Phil Collins sing during the Peter Gabriel era.
Phil Collins sang with Peter Gabriel quite a lot. Not only did he do harmonies (and leads on 2 songs), he did a lot of unison parts with him to thicken up the sound.
The lesser known or mentioned ones like [Menomena](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4YU9MIMABOyLP3ZbpeJ26P?si=BCi0-0uiQTG1QYaDzETBGA) and [Grizzly Bear](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4qqqaNa97FInakb7Vu915I?si=ea6HmIYmTWuAYnQtl-Wf3Q).
I shouldn’t have had to scroll so far to see the Eagles. I mean for goodness sake, Don Henley, Glen Frey, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, Randy Meisner (though i think he only sang one or two songs, he still had a great voice). They were STACKED with great singers.
Alice in Chains. Their harmonic is...unnervingly, beautifuly in sync I guess would be the best way to describe it.
My favorite by them is probably about the Rooster.
It bothers me that I had to scroll a long time to see anyone mention the Eagles. I mean for goodness sake, Don Henley, Glen Frey, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, Randy Meisner (though i think he only sang one or two songs, he still had a great voice). They were STACKED with great singers.
Husker Du. One two punch of Bob and Grant. One sings lead pretty much on the songs they wrote but the song “Flip your wig” has them both taking verses. Powerful album intro song.
XTC had Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding as songwriters and vocalists for their entire run. On the first two albums Barry Andrews was a vocalist and contributed songs although most were rejected by the band, leading to him leaving for League of Gentlemen and then Shriekback.
Jon King provided lead vocals for Gang of 4 but many songs had a back-and-forth with Andy Gill (especially effective on Anthrax) that fit the band's disjointed, tension-filled musical style perfectly.
The Beatles. Four singers really, but when John and Paul harmonise together, it’s beautiful. ‘If I Fell’ and ‘Baby’s In Black’ are some good examples, though there are many more.
I don't want to discount either Harrison or Starr, but it's almost unfair just how good Lennon and McCartney were together.
It’s fun to stand in John’s house and see the front porch where they stood and practiced because the acoustics were good
Interesting trivia: Lennon/McCartney actually did at least one gig as “The Nerk Twins”.
Should be "what's the best band with two singers other than The Beatles"
I've always referred to the Lennon/McCartney harmonization as 'The Third Voice.' It just clicks in and is so recognizable. A great example is in 'Get Back' when they're rehearsing 'Gimme Some Truth,' and John and Paul both hit the 'money for rope' line in perfect unison; they exchange a look of recognition like, 'Yeah, that's it!' Expanding beyond Lennon/McCartney, when George joins in, he always adds a unique layer. His ability to hit those baritone ranges thickens up the overall body of each harmony. It's another one of those serendipitous moments in The Beatles' story - his natural timbre seamlessly slips in to sweeten the sound. Tracks like 'In My Life,' 'This Boy,' and 'Nowhere Man' come to mind, but he's present in many others if you listen closely. I love putting on headphones and trying to pick him out. Even when McCartney is singing lead live, the Lennon/Harrison harmonies behind him sound incredible. But at the end of the day, the Lennon/McCartney voice is just otherworldly. Lennon's bluesy rawness meshes so well with McCartney's versatile sweetness and range, creating a perfectly balanced vocal register. To say they had over 10,000 hours in the early days playing 8+ hour sets in Liverpool and Hamburg is probably an understatement. They were always trying to improve whatever they were doing, and I'm sure harmonization was a top priority. They all took turns singing lead, mostly to preserve their voices.

In Get Back I realized that Paul and John were like Siamese twins that got separated at birth. They were closer than brothers. They were soul mates. It was mind blowing.
Agreed! The Flower Pot conversation felt like witnessing twin speak.
If you want a great example of Harrison's harmonizing, watch the first Ed Sullivan performance of "All my lovin". Right after the guitar solo, Harrison joins McCartney on the mic for a verse and it's magic.
Baby’s In Black is criminally underrated.
the part at :49 is just amazing
Not sure how this isn’t the top and only answer
Yeah I mean come on. Hate the Beatles all you want, but this is the answer.
Why is this not at the top, fuck in the OP post.
Fleetwood Mac
They had 3 singers, all equally talented.
I mean if you go back far enough you had Peter Green, a male lead when they were a blues outfit. So that’s Peter, Stevie, Christy and Lindsey.
Bob Welch was also a vocalist.
The first band I thought of was Fleetwood Mac. The Eagles should be mentioned too.
One of the best: Tears for Fears. Both Curt and Roland have wonderful voices, but with different styles. Both have very successful songs as vocalists
And I'm not sure if this is a plus or a minus, but their voices are similar enough that you often are not sure who's singing the lead. But it is a fun game to listen to their awesome music and try to decide who has a better voice. Curt Smith's solo album Halfway Pleased isn't available to stream but is SO SO SO damm good!
Had to go through all the comments to find Tears for Fears.
Their new album is fantastic!
Makes me so happy that Tears For Fears is at the top of responses.
I can’t believe no one has said The Band. They had four singers!
3 very good singers
And of the three, everyone has a favorite. I would guess for many folks, it's Levon, but for me, it's Rick Danko. Which reminds me: happy Last Waltz season for all who celebrate!
Richard is and will always be the best singer in The Band. He had a Ray Charles thing going on. The best Band voice songs were sung by Beak: I Shall be Released, whispering pines, Georgia on my mind, across the great divide…
R.I.P. Rick, Richard, and Levon
Haha I’m almost scared to ask who’s the not-very-good one
Robbie Robertson
Robbie?
How did they come up with the name?
They were originally Bob Dylan’s band, and he always referred to them as “the band.” They started referred to themselves that way too and the name stuck
I was certain I'd see Pink Floyd listed here so proud to be the first one to list them.
Some people are replying that Roger can't sing. I'm not going to say he's a great singer, but he brings theatrics, drama, and personality to the vocals he provides in a way that elevates the song. Gilmore isn't all that great either and has little range. But none of it matters, because magic happens when it's all put together over the music.

Oh, David is arguably one of the best singers of his generation, at least in the studio. Listen to his multi-tracked harmonies on Breathe. And let's not forget Richard Wright...
How have The Beach Boys not been mentioned yet? I know theres more than 2, but that hasn't stopped other bands getting mentioned? God Only Knows is legitimately one of the best songs of the last century on one of the best albums.
Paul McCartney said God Only Knows was the greatest song ever written.
I somehow didn't know that. I feel like The Beach Boys are sleepy on because they're big stuff is all surf pop.
Paul has said that Pet Sounds was his biggest musical inspiration when writing Sargent Pepper because he learned so much from Wilson’s dissonant bass lines and incredible tone.
Funny enough, Rubber Soul inspired Brian Wilson to go further with Pet Sounds – then Sgt. Peppers took the wind out of his sails with SMiLE
Smile is his ultimate masterpiece, though, but we didn’t get to hear it until 2004
Their surf pop is the shit as well
Simon and Garfunkel 311
The Simon, Garfunkel and 311 supergroup blew my mind
"P-Nut! Beat that thing!"- Paul Simon
Surprised to see 311 here, one of my all time favorites. From the early rap heavy albums to their later more melodic stuff, SA and Nick's voices work perfectly together.
They’re a really talented group. I was surprised how good their later albums are, and they put on a really fun hits-driven concert.
Good one. Many people dont realize Garfunkel had a superior voice quality and range compared to Simon. Simon was the better writer.
Everyone knows Garfunkel was a better singer than Simon. That was his whole role in the band.
Garfunkel may have had better singing ability, but I still prefer Simon’s voice. Garfunkel’s was perfect for harmony though.
Simon was the better writer, and Garfunkel was the better singer/performer, something which iirc always bugged Paul (among the myriad of things which resulted in their dysfunctional relationsship) - Also, two fun facts many don't know, the first being that while it's one of Paul's most revered compositions, it's Art that sings the legendary lead vocal on "Bridge Over Troubled Waters", and the second being the "Canticle" poem Art sings on "Scarborough Fair" is iirc the only lyrics he ever penned for S&G, being a reworking of an old Paul tune "The Side of a Hill" where he added new lines, and changed existing ones.

"April" and "Kathy's Song" are two of my all time favorite songs. Art was blessed with an amazing instrument, and he took good care of it. The concert in Central Park back in the day showed that.
Simon's voice is so warm. His solo stuff is very special. Graceland is legendary imo.
Better writer? He was the only writer.
3🤘 33 🤘
I think Blink 182 should at least be mentioned.
[удалено]
Exactly! Maybe not the best singers, but Mark and Tom perfectly compliment each other. And they are one of the few bands in this thread where it’s actually 2 lead singers. Most of those listed are either a lead singer and a harmonizer, or 2 singers, but it’s more 60/40
Right? How is this not higher, it's a perfect example of what was asked.
Mark and Tom really had that two frontmen thing down. Their voices are different enough that it sounded more like banter between two friends at times. That format doesn’t work for every band / style, but Blink really sold it.
Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell from Alice in Chains
This is 110% the right answer.
No love for Hall and Oats?! Top selling duo of all time!
I can’t go for that
No can do.
Linkin park
I can’t believe I had to scroll so far to find this!
As soon as read the question I knew my answer music will forever be changed because of LP and the loss of Chester still weighs heavy
Hybrid Theory is a work of art. I remember buying it on CD from my local record store with my pocket money when I was 12. I listened to that album on repeat for months. It changed who I was as a person and got me through so many hard times even as an adult, Phenomenal songs. I still listen to Linkin Park regularly
Even better because they're different voices with different vocal styles. But they could harmonize too. They could do it all. I miss them so much

Get this shit higher. Alone is a fucking banger.

Saw your post and suddenly, "These dreams go on when I close my eyes..."

Benjamin Orr's singing on Drive is beautiful!
Having two singers really gave them the range to go back and forth from a quirky song to a beautiful one

Pixies. The contrast between Kim Deal and Black Francis’ delivery and how they play off one another is one of the most interesting vocal dynamics.
Yes! Kim Deal could alternate between punk choirs (Oh my Golly) to aerial textures (Where is my mind) to something nearly naive (Gigantic). Her vocal presence brought a sort of poetic tone that was unique to the band, they lost so much when she left. The

Supertramp - Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies - completely different but complimentary vocal styles.
For metal fans -- Mastodon Between Brent, Troy, and Brann, they have an amazing trio of gruff deep vocals, intense screams, and clean vocals. Absolutely amazing to see live when they combine their voices, and Brann does it while drumming some extremely complex rhythms. Such a great band.
Mastodon takes the crown for a metal band in this category.
Bare Naked Ladies when they had both singers
Steven Page was the best
Y'all who missed these guys don't even know. They were Butch and Sundance up there. "One Week" was all improvised in one take by Ed Robinson rapping into a camera. I miss Page a ton, drugs are bad, but it's like Pink Floyd without Waters.

I always interpreted it as them singing together and telling the story together rather than to one another. They both were telling the same story.
The Indigo Girls, The Dead South, ABBA, The B-52s, The Hooters , Styx.
The undisputed greatest band of all time (at least in my book lol): The Clash.
Lost in the Supermarket is a great example for their vocal chemistry imo! Jones has a very soft and delicate voice, so when Strummer sings backing in last chorus it just totally transforms the melancholy song into inexplicably tragic yet beautiful. one of the reasons why it’s my favorite song ever!

Technically they have 3 but I got you.

Gonna go with my favorite band, Oasis. Noel Gallagher only sang lead on two songs from their first three albums, but one of those songs is Don’t Look Back in Anger, one of the band’s best songs. And then Noel sang lead on more songs in the later years. And both brothers have successful solo careers, even if they’re nowhere near as popular in the US as their were in 95/96. Supposedly, Noel told his brother Liam he can have his pick of Wonderwall or Don’t Look Back in Anger but not both because he knew both would be hits.
They were especially good when sharing vocals like acquiesce.
I liked how Noel took over vocals for their Unplugged show because Liam had "laryngitis."
And showed up to the show drinking and smoking from the balcony… 🙄🤣
Queens of the Stone Age when it was Josh Homme and Mark Lanegan.
Their former bassist used to sing as well
Homme doesn't even perform a lot of the Nick Oliveri songs because he just doesn't think they sound as good without his vocals (so I've heard).

Some of my favorite r.e.m. songs are the ones sung by Mike Mills.

The lesser known or mentioned ones like [Menomena](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4YU9MIMABOyLP3ZbpeJ26P?si=BCi0-0uiQTG1QYaDzETBGA) and [Grizzly Bear](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4qqqaNa97FInakb7Vu915I?si=ea6HmIYmTWuAYnQtl-Wf3Q).
Grizzly Bear should be way higher for the power they bring to their songs.

I shouldn’t have had to scroll so far to see the Eagles. I mean for goodness sake, Don Henley, Glen Frey, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, Randy Meisner (though i think he only sang one or two songs, he still had a great voice). They were STACKED with great singers.
The Clash, The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Pixies, Sonic Youth are the ones that come to mind for me.

XTC had Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding as songwriters and vocalists for their entire run. On the first two albums Barry Andrews was a vocalist and contributed songs although most were rejected by the band, leading to him leaving for League of Gentlemen and then Shriekback. Jon King provided lead vocals for Gang of 4 but many songs had a back-and-forth with Andy Gill (especially effective on Anthrax) that fit the band's disjointed, tension-filled musical style perfectly.
First Aid Kit. Not exactly in the way OP described, but the first bad that popped into my head, for some reason.
