Rap groups and vocal groups that switch lead vocal on every song obviosuly should own this thread. My assumption was that Joe was asking about bands where a switch is unusual. I didn't consider that until, in a flash of rockist recognition, I saw that "Tempted" is a tribute to the Temptations.

obviosuly = obviously, obviosuly

― s trife (simon_tr), Saturday, 30 November 2002 19:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Even though Motown/Stax/Atlantic etc vocal groups are probably all eligible for this, I feel that the Floaters' serene "Float On" should own this thread ! ("Larry - Cancer - and I love a girl who" et al).

Destroy: the Sugarcubes stuff where Einar pisses all over Bjork's parade.

― Douglas, Sunday, 1 December 2002 07:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Once I figured out Einar was just a weird Icelandic Mark E. Smith, it all made much more sense.
