Technically, all four were bona fide excellent vocalists and could have all been lead vocalists in their own right, but both Steve Priest and Andy Scott would sing lead vocals occasionally and sometimes two or three would share/split lead vox chores in one song (for example: "Ballroom Blitz")
KISS had 3, and for a couple of albums they had 4
There was a local band in Boston in the late 70s called Human Sexual Response. They had four lead singers backed by a three-piece band. They mostly sang in harmony as in Three Dog Knight. They had a regional hit "I Want to Be Like Jackie Onassis."
Someone mentioned the Byrds. They would count twice. They had three lead singers early on with Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark, and David Crosby (and sometimes Chris Hillman). In the later incarnation, each album featured lead singing by Roger, Clarence White, and Skip Battin.
Another such band, if you stretch the rules a bit as members overlapped from album to album, would be the Move with Carl Wayne, Roy Wood, and Jeff Lynne, though I don't believe there was any one album on which all three were present.

Looking forward to my day in court.
Two biggies missed so far
Fleetwood Mac and The Who
Both have already been mentioned.Originally Posted by malterb
Missed it, my bad, sorry for wasting a post
The Specials

Nostalgia, you know, ain't what it used to be. Furthermore, they tells me, it never was.

If Cippolina ever sang lead (I'm not sure), then QMS. (W/Duncan/Freiberg and/or Valenti/Frieberg)

Also the later version of the band with Garcia, Weir, & Mydland.

Marvin, Welch and Farrar- two members of The Shadows plus John Farrar, an Australian musician who later went on to big success as writer of many Olivia Newton John hits. A vocal trio in the vein of CSN, as you'd expect. I love the two albums they made and play them regularly, all three share vocal duties. (There's another nice album as a duo after Welch left.)
Little River Band from 1981-1983..... Shorrock/Birtles/Nelson, then Birtles/Nelson/Farnham
oh and The Band
Status Quo - Francis Rossi, Rick Parfitt and Alan Lancaster
Esperanto - ? I seem to remember they had a bunch of em for one album
The Travelling Willburys
The Move - Roy Wood, Jeff Lynne, and Bev Bevan all sang lead on various recordings while part of the same line-up.

Transatlantic (Morse and Stolt are the primary lead vocalists but Portnoy and Trewavas handle a small share of lead vocals).
Another one: Jennifer Lopez.
Strange I haven't seen Queen listed yet: Freddie Mercury, Brian May and Roger Taylor. Although Mercury was the lead singer, May and Taylor sang lead on several songs throughout Queen's discography.

And Garcia, Weir and Donna Godchaux for the first two Arista albums.
Well, Split Enz had three (Tim Finn, Phil Judd and Neil Finn), just not at the same time, since Phil’s membership does not overlap with Neil’s.
Stackridge? Who sang lead other than James Warren? I know Gordon Haskell was a member for a time, but he never recorded anything with them (they did his song “No One’s More Important Than the Earthworm” in his absence).
How could I forget them? Four dedicated lead singers (Glenn Shorrock, Janice Slator, Joy Yates and Brigette Lolekani Du Doit) on their debut, Esperanto Rock Orchestra, and on three acetate demo tracks that later surfaced on the Si-Wan CD issue of Danse Macabre. Those demo tracks (versions of songs that were later done with Keith Christmas on lead vocals) kick serious ass, BTW!
Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883...
Early on, The Move used to alternate three lead singer in the same song... like Walk on the Water...
See post #3.
anybody mention Toto yet? (Kimball, Lukather, Paich)
edit: yes, Staun did
At one point, Styx had FOUR lead singers... Shaw, Young, Gowan, and Burtnik. Now it's just Shaw, Young, and Gowan.
Ambrosia's current line up also has four lead singers... Stacey, Puerta, Jackson, and Harris. Sometimes North belts out a tune, as well.
"The mountains are calling and I must go" - John Muir
"To breathe the same air as the angels, you must go to Tahoe" - Mark Twain
Sprung quickly to mind...
Styx (Dennis DeYoung, Tommy Shaw, James Young)
Queen - Freddie Mercury Roger Taylor, Brian May
The Who - Daltrey, Townshend and Entwistle
The Airplane - Balin, Kantner & Slick
Ditto for Jeff Starship
Greateful Dead (Garcia, Weir & Pigpen)
The Moody Blues- Justin Hayward, John Lodge and Ray Thomas.
Procol Harum - Gary Brooker. Robin Trower , Fisher.
Beatles - Lennon, Maca, Harry Georgeson (didn't Ringo sing Yellow Submarine?)
Gentle Giant - the three Shulman, and maybe more?
Chicago (Terry Kath, Robert Lamm, Peter Cetera
Fairport Convention (Sandy Denny, R Thompson, Dave Swarbrick, etc)
Steeleye Span (Maddy Prior, Bob Johnson, Tim Hart, Rick Kemp)
Argent - Argent, Ballard & Rodford
Fleetwood Mac, - too many to list over the years
Cream
Pink Floyd
Amon Düül II
Eagles

Pentangle - McShee, Jansch, Renbourn
Should they count?? I mean choirs??
OKay, now I know where their greatest track got onto my fave album of theirs, thanks

I don't know much about The Beach Boys, but I'd say most of them must've sang lead at one point or another??
