Random thought but why have there been no other groups since the Beatles that have split lead vocals on songs roughly 50/50 across their output? Or have there been and I missed it.

3 bands off the top of my head, although not always quite 50/50 but enough of a split to think of them as having 2 lead singers - BRMC, Ringo Deathstarr, Ride. Joy Zipper, I’ve just thought of too.

Oasis sprung to mind but I thought Noel only sang a few as I lost interest during the second album. Turns out he sang on quite a lot. The AI search tells me 24%. So not Beatles level split but a good shout.

A blast from the past. Did Voice of the beehive alternate the lead each track or was it more shared vocals.

Shared vocals and harmonies I think but open to correction..Let It Bee is a classic to these ears

I'll take your word for it. You could argue the Beatles were shared vocals in many instances.

Teenage Fanclub have always split vocals (and songwriting), initially across three and then latterly across two (Norman Blake & Raymond McGinley) after the departure of Gerry Love.

Thanks Tarik. A band I dip in and out of. Good nomination. I'm still struck by how uncommon it is given how many bands there are.
