Stating the obvious is pretty pointless too.

Just because your post was immediately after mine, is there a relation? If yes I don't see it.Confused
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Smile No relation. In fact, it was an entirely personal, inward rambling that I just decided to post as I thought it.

Oh! He's a good singer with a weak voice, isn't it somewhat ridiculous?


What exactly?

No, no! Dylan hasn't weak voice at all, rather expressive, rough and nasal timbre. He's typical solo singer and I can't imagine him as a backing vocalist. Contrary to Wright.
 
Better example? I'd suggest e.g. Andrew Latimer...
A Elbereth Gilthoniel
silivren penna míriel
o menel aglar elenath!
Na-chaered palan-díriel
o galadhremmin ennorath,
Fanuilos, le linnathon
nef aear, sí nef aearon!

Rick Wright has a beautiful voice and his choruses on Time and especially his harmonies on Echoes are absolutely stunning.

I believe on Echoes, Gilmour and Wright sang at the same time, and I would say they were both the "lead singers", it didn't feel to me like any of them was the backing singer of the other.

I love Townshend vocals, such a nice contrast to Daltrey, and a big part of their formula
...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell"
