Bands In Which the Backup Singer Should Have Been Promoted

A good example where the thread title actually happened is Goo Goo Dolls. Haha their stupid-looking bassist/original singer was sidelined by the pretty boy with the pop melodies. What a dumb loser

shit! this made me think of The Who. I mostly prefer Pete to Roger.

I do not. Naked Eye might be my favorite Who tune and Pete's verse almost ruins the song.

Yeah...Roger is a much better vocalist. I think Pete Townsend’s voice is a great touch where they used it over the years but that is juxtaposed to Roger’s big wail. Roger fits The Who’s Sound perfectly.

That's Liam. Noel sings about two songs per album.

What does Liam do during the Noel songs?

Coke.

The Edge's work on Numb is sublime. I wish they had just relegated Bono to guitar at this point and let the Edge take over from here on out. 100% less Jesus Christ posing!

I think Spiral Stairs should have gotten more appearances on Pavement albums. Also, Spiral kind of sounds like Lee Ranaldo when he sings.

'2death's love of Spiral is well documented on this board.

Roger Taylor of Queen is a strong enough singer to be a lead vocalist, just not in Queen.
