About all you don’t know about the top four is the pecking order. Yep. All the old favorites are here for the top four favorite bands who utilized more than one lead vocalist. Who’s up next? You (better, you) bet!
#4: The Who
Here’s a little piece of shocking history for you, considering the classic configuration of this group: Roger Daltrey wasn’t originally pegged as lead singer. He was looked at as lead guitarist.
I’m sure everyone will agree that everything turned out fine with the way they ended up.
Everyone except Keith Moon sang....and if you remember him singing “Fiddle About” and “Tommy’s Holiday Camp” in the film rendition of Tommy or have heard his solo album, you understand that was a VERY wise idea.
John Entwistle sang lead on some of the songs he wrote (including “Boris the Spider,” “The Quiet One,” and “My Wife”). Pete sang for the heck of it (such as on “Going Mobile”).
An all-around group effort from one of the greatest bands of rock and roll.
The Who
Primary lead singer: Roger Daltrey
Other lead singers: Pete Townshend, John Entwistle
Here’s Pete doing lead on one of the great Who classics:

Great beginning instrumental to Eminence Front leading into the vocals. Entwistle's song "My Wife" is one of my favorites... Gonna buy a tank and an aeroplane, When she catches up with me, Won't be no time to explain. One scary lady!
Who's Next one of my all-time favorite albums...

All I remember about The Who is the rock opera, Tommy.
