    Bands with lead singer bassists
    I've been wondering about them for a while. Here's a list of the ones off the top of my head.
    • Motorhead (Lemmy)
    • The Police (Sting)
    • Rush (Geddy Lee)
    • Primus/Flying Frog Brigade/Sausage/Oysterhead/a billion bands that are essentially the same (Les Claypool)
    • Beatles/Wings (Paul McCartney) (yeah, I consider both him and John as lead singers)

    Pink Floyd (Roger Waters) comes to mind as well...

    Al Cisneros (Sleep)
    John Doe (X) - well, he split singing duties
    Phil Lesh (Phil Lesh and Friends) - also, of course, did a bit of singing in the Grateful Dead
    Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy)
    Mike Watt (fIREHOSE) - again, he split duties

    Mega-Tallica
    Tom Araya from Slayer as well.

    I know of a few more that I can't come up with names on the spot right now.

    Peter Steele from Type O Negative, just remembered. And that dude from Blink-182, Mark Hoppus, yeah...

    +44 (Mark Hoppus) and for that matter Blink-182, if you're counting Paul and John as equals in The Beatles

    And so too Paul Simonon with The Clash, if that counts.
