Rock band in which every core member did lead vocals
Ivan "Maximus" Lendl
----------
Paul McCartney (sang almost all the songs he wrote, their main lead
singer in my opinion)
John Lennon (sang almost all the songs he wrote, their second lead
singer in my opinion)
George Harrison (all the songs he wrote)
Ringo Starr (a few songs he wrote and song other)
Moody Blues
------------------
Justin Hayward (the main singer)
Ray Thomas (sang in all the songs he wrote, some of their best ones)
John Lodge (sang some of the few songs he wrote)
Mike Pinder (very few songs that he wrote)
Graham Edge (a few poetry recitals, I think should count)
Pink Floyd
-----------------
Syd Barrett (the original lead singer)
David Gilmour (the latter lead singer)
Roger Waters (started singing more as he started dominating the band)
Rick Wright (few songs he wrote or co-wrote, some of their best ones,
also few Barrett songs)
Nick Mason (very few songs)
Any other bands?
Joe Strummer's Nose
The Clash
Ivan "Maximus" Lendl
Did Keith Moon do lead vocals? If so add The Who to the list as well.

No, he did on Corporal Clegg.

Come to think of it, The Who and Pink Floyd are probably the only rock
bands which did not do a lot of harmonies but still had every member
singing leads. All other rock bands did a lot of harmonies, especially
Bee Gees, Moody Blues and Beatles.

JohnBL
I'm not aware of anyone other than Frankie Valli singing lead on
anything. Unless you count Nick Massi's "duh"-voiced interjections as
lead vocals.
I have a couple of 4 (rarely styled as "Four") Seasons albums, but I
know them mainly by their hits. I could be wrong.
JL
richforman
Absolutely. I seem to have it in my mind that drummer Danny Serapine
sang one along the way too but I'm not sure. But if not *all* the
members of the group sang lead, a whole slew of them did! Obviously
Robert Lamm, Peter Cetera, Terry Kath, Jim Pankow and Lee Loughnane,
and later Bill Champlain, etc; and these guys all sang lead on *hits*,
not just obscure album or novelty tracks.
Ah yes! Every member of the 1976 line-up of Wings sang lead on the
album Wings at the Speed of Sound. (For drummer Joe English, that was
the only time - and on a wonderful song IMO, "Must Do Something About
It" - but Denny Laine, lead guitarist Jimmy McCoullough, and Linda
all sang a few other scattered tracks over the band's career.)

No knowledgable rock fan would ever consider anyone but John Lennon as
the lead singer of the Beatles.
But then, of course, nobody would ever use the words "Raja (or Ivan,
or whatever)" and "knowledgable rock fan" in the same sentence, either.

Songs - plural. They were:
I Need You (which he wrote)

They were a soft pop band that girls liked, just like Cat Stevens,
only with a terrible drummer. The only song they did that "rocks" in
any shape, form or description was "I'm Just a Singer in a Rock and
Roll Band," which is funny, because he wasn't.

Dave Gilmour sang "Learning to Fly." Nick Mason made some barely
audible noise in the middle. That's not "singing." Neither is
growling "one of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces"
through a synthesizer.

Are you joking? They have plenty of rock songs. If the Beach Boys
rocked, so did the Moody Blues.

Oh dear. Based on this post, it appears we've discovered someone who's
sillier than Raja.
I'll give you a break though, since you're apparently not very familiar
with the Moodies' catalog. Try this:

Well, it started out that way but after a couple of albums they
more-or-less shared lead-singing duties.

Can't expect much from a musically illiterate retard Who fan.
JohnBL
I'm probably too much of a purist for my own good. It's great that the
Seasons had a few late-era hits in the '70s, but it ain't the Seasons
without Bob Gaudio, AFAIC. Frankie was the front man, but Gaudio was
their Lennon-McCartney, George Martin, and Brian Epstein rolled into
one. I know he produced their later hits, but I think the "Jersey
Boys" when I think of the 4 Seasons.
You're correct, of course. I'm just being difficult.

Don't forget "Song of the Evergreens" (from *VII*), "Together Again"
(from *X*) and "This Time" (from *XI*), the last two of which he wrote.
"This Time" should've been a single, but by then it seems Columbia
Records had decided for themselves that they'd only release singles sung
by Peter Cetera (who, to be fair, takes over on the choruses). He's a
pretty good singer, much like Terry Kath, though more laid back.

Nope. (Well, unless you count Walt Parazaider's *vocalise* accompanying
his flute solo during "It Better End Soon".)

Daltrey, Townshend and Entwistle had a lot of three part harmonies.
Even after Entwistle blew his voice out from drinking and smoking,
Roger and Pete sang together a lot.

Didn't everyone in The Band sing?
I used to love the Tremeloes, though little they did was really rock
("Call Me Number One"?). But if you include some pop bands, ABBA has
to be there. Not sure about the Hollies?
As for the Beatles, how many tracks are there where all four sang? Any
where Ringo isn't singing lead?

Is that a sock puppet or are we getting a double dose of stupid?
I'm not a huge fan, but they were nothing if not a rock and roll band.
Try listening to more than what you hear on classic rock FM. Or you
could keep quiet about things you don't know about.

He wrote "Cold Gin," but I really think Gene did all the vocals on
that one. (From "Dressed to Kill.") As someone else mentioned, Ace
sang lead on "Shock Me" from Destroyer, "Rocket Ride" from Alive II,
he sings three songs a piece on Dynasty and Unmasked....as mentioned
the remake of "2000 Man," but not being a big 80s music person, I
couldn't tell you the other ones.

Garth Hudson did not. Robbie Robertson had exactly ONE lead vocal
while the Band was together.

It was the way John stood on stage that make him appear as the lead
singer for the Beatles.

I never considered *anyone* a "lead singer" for the Beatles. I thought
of them all as co-singers. (Except poor Ringo...)

Jack Bruce the lead singer
Eric Clapton the second lead singer
Ginger Baker sang lead on "Pressed rat and warthog" and maybe some others..
who?
I agree, but I just meant that other fans might have seen John as the
lead singer. Yep, poor Ringo.

Keith also say back up harmonies on alot of the pre-Tommy stuff.

Next to a mic with his lips moving? Other than that, what did he do on
stage that would make him look like a lead singer?

He also sang lead on his self-penned '22,000 days', I think it was.
It was on a later album. Might even have been on Octive. I don't
remember off-hand.
But I'm SURE you will!

Didn't Robbie sing on both "Out of The Blue" and "Last Waltz Refrain"?
Of course, in a band with three amazingly gifted vocalists, Robbie
should consider himself lucky to get any mic time at all.

And also Manhattan Transfer
Calvert, Elliot and Haydock never sang lead on the Hollies (to my
knowledge)

Oh, well, if you're going to include Manhattan Transfer, I'll throw in

Ginger sang "Blue Condition" on "Disraeli Gears". He also sang on
"Mother's Lament", but that one really is best forgotten about ;-)

It's mildly amusing the first couple of times you hear it -- "your baby
has gorn dahn the plughole" ha-ha-ha. Not exactly in the same league as
"Strange Brew" or "We're Going Wrong" though, is it? They should have
given it to Chas and Dave.
