Those two guys from the 80's who sang in every band. The one with the high, shall we say, less than masculine voice who sang for bands like Journey and Boston and Styx. And the one with the high scratchy voice who sang for bands like AC/DC and Guns'n'Roses.

Maybe it's because it was started with "so"...

It's simple....you're looking for people who have the same distinct identities. (man, do we have to spoon feed you guys?)

All those guys in The Beatles pretty much sounded alike to me. Maybe it was the accents.

Okay, I could pick out Ringo maybe....the one NOT singing....

it wasnt a question really as it was an observation that when phil collins sings genesis songs it sounds close enough to not effect the songs when greg lake replaced john weton in asia they sounded the same,like when wetoon replaced greg lake in king crimson,when pete townshend sings a daltry part they sound enough the same its hardly noticable.....just random thought appologies for the confusion

Ok... maybe I still don't get it... I'm not seeing the parings... or maybe I am...

Bon Scott/Brian Johnson
Both great singers each with their unique sound, and while they don't sound similar, you can tell it's AC/DC.

I can get that... but then there's comments like..
"The one with the high, shall we say, less than masculine voice who sang for bands like Journey and Boston and Styx.".. ok.. that's like referencing 5 people not one, who don't sound alike at all and never shared any bands.

so... I'm still stumped and need a bib too :(

Miles, to me they all sounded alike. (I HATED most of the music from the 80's so I was being a bit vicious.) I stopped listening to the radio then, but certain co-workers at a certain guitar factory listened so I couldn't help but be exposed to it. It was sometime in the early 90's when I heard a song being sung by a guy with a great voice and started listening to the radio again. That was Stone Temple Pilots. Then I heard Alice In Chains and I knew that music had gotten good again.

It might have something to do with the fact that when bands replace vocalists they tend to look for someone with the same 'sound'.
In the Townshend/Daltry case... more often than not Townshend wrote the song, so it's likely that Daltry was singing it in the style Townshend intended.
It might not be all that coincidental...

Ok... now I sorta get it. I think the confusion is that while to some "they sound alike" to others those same people (whomever) don't sound anything alike.

So.. Derek St. Holmes / Ted Nugent

I guess this is the only one I can think of.. In the 70's I didn't even know there was another singer in the band until I saw them in concert. Ted apparently at the time couldn't really sing and play at the same time. Derek and Ted would sing different lines of the same song and you could hardly tell the difference. Pretty cool actually.

Now speaking of STP that would be a whole nother thread...

People who sound TOTALLY Different in the SAME band. Scott Weiland sounds so completely different from himself in so many tunes it's hard to believe it's the same person sometimes. Axl Rose does a bit of that, but you can always tell its him.
