Rare Lead Vocals

[ThomasKDye]

Stewart Copeland did "On Any Other Day" and first verse on "Does Everyone Stare", and Andy Summers sang "Mother". "Sally" was spoken word, so not really counting that one.

I'm not sure you can count "Mother."

[Progbear]

10cc had some of the “new guys” singing on a couple of tracks of their later albums. Stuart Tosh sings the main lead vocal on “Reds in My Bed.” Rick Fenn sings lead on “Don’t Send We Back.” Neither is particularly brilliant, but it is interesting.

[Dan Roth]

Guitarist Don Felder sang lead on only one song with The Eagles, “Visions” from the 1975 One of These Nights album.

[BravadoNJ]

very rarely Jon Camp of Renaissance sang lead. most notably The Sultan part of Scheherazade.

[Progbear]

As near as I can tell, this is the only ABBA song with Benny Andersson on lead vocals:

[Camelogue]

Robbie Krieger - Runnin Blue

[GuitarGeek]

Did anyone mention Nick Mason? He sang on Corporal Clegg, Scream Thy Last Scream and something called The Xmas Song, and he also did the spoken word bits in Signs Of Life, Learning To Fly, and of course One Of These Days.

[TheH]

Hawkwind - Keith Hale - Dangerous Visions

[Progbear]

Fanny are mentioned in a parallel thread, there’s one song featuring lead vocals by their drummer Alice de Buhr: “Solid Gold.” And she can’t really sing, so as you might imagine it’s more of a joke song.

[mozo-pg]

Todd Rundgren sang lead on "Kiddie Boy" by Nazz, and afaik Stewkey sang lead on every other song on all 3 Nazz albums (we all know who wrote almost all of it).

I still miss you Steve! RIP.

[Progbear]

As near as I can figure, “Time Takes My Time” is the only Dave Greenslade lead vocal.

Distantly related, Paul Karas got the occasional co-lead (with Steve Gould) during his brief time with Rare Bird, notably on “Baby Listen.”

[Gravedigger]

As near as I can figure, “Time Takes My Time” is the only Dave Greenslade lead vocal.

I always thought the "weariness" in his vocal was perfect on that song; I loved it!
I don't know how he would have fared on other tunes.

[kayfabe58]

very rarely Jon Camp of Renaissance sang lead. most notably The Sultan part of Scheherazade.

What about Kiev on Prologue? Pretty sure thats Camp

[Digital_Man]

Chris Squire on Man on the Moon from the Open Your Eyes album. Yeah, I know most consider it one of their worst but it's still Chris singing lead which is the only time he did that afaik.

[dgtlman]

Unless I missed it somewhere, Albert Bouchard of BOC Cities On Flame. Everything back then was usually Eric & Buck

[Sturgeon's Lawyer]

Tight harmony here with lead vocal by Keith Moon...

[Crawford Glissadevil]

Journey, Neal Schon: "I Would Find You" and "Karma"

[Progbear]

What about Kiev on Prologue? Pretty sure thats Camp

I forgot to include it on my Camp Vocals List on page 2

Chris Squire on Man on the Moon from the Open Your Eyes album. Yeah, I know most consider it one of their worst but it's still Chris singing lead which is the only time he did that afaik.

He has a few lead bits on Drama, notably on “Machine Messiah.”

[Progbear]

Another rare Amon Düül II vocal, the only song sung by Robby Heibl:

[GuitarGeek]

Unless I missed it somewhere, Albert Bouchard of BOC Cities On Flame. Everything back then was usually Eric & Buck

Albert also sang lead on Fireworks, Revenge Of Vera Gemini, Sinful Love, Death Valley Nights, Debbie Denise, You're Not The One (I Was Looking For), Hungry Boys, Career Of Evil, Dominance And Submission and Cagey Cretins.
