> [@Enright3](#): > > The Bangles. I think I should be embarrassed that I know that; since I’m 54 y/o man. 🙂 Oh well, I found that out because I recently RE-discovered how hot Susanna Hoffs is at 57 years old! > [http://www.heart.co.uk/showbiz/celebrities/where-are-they-now/susanna-hoffs-bangles-walk-egyptian-eternal-flame/](http://www.heart.co.uk/showbiz/celebrities/where-are-they-now/susanna-hoffs-bangles-walk-egyptian-eternal-flame/) She arguably looked better in her mid-40s than she did in her late-20s during their heyday. (Maybe it was those ridiculous late 80s hairstyles?) Here’s a clip from a 2006 concert, where Ms. Hoffs looks ravishing: [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/j0mhoPCn2dA/hqdefault.jpg "Bangles - If she knew what she want (Live at The House of Blues 2006)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0mhoPCn2dA) ---

> [@bmoak](#): > > I’m pretty sure Garth Hudson never sang anything for The Band, much less lead vocals I don’t think Robbie Robertson ever sang either, did he? Gifted writer and musician, but can’t sing worth a lick. I wish the Stones would let Charlie Watts do a vocal just to see what he’d sound like. Also, did Ronnie Wood ever do lead vocals? ---

> [@DrCube](#): > > Jimi Hendrix did most of the singing for his Experience, but Noel Redding sang lead on “She’s So Fine” from _Axis: Bold as Love_ and Mitch Mitchell sang “Little Miss Strange” on _Electric Ladyland_. Didn’t Redding sing Little Miss Strange as well? I know he wrote it. Ron Wood took some vocals with the Faces, I think. ---

> [@BobLibDem](#): > > I don’t think Robbie Robertson ever sang either, did he? Gifted writer and musician, but can’t sing worth a lick… I’ve got his debut solo record, and he handles all the lead vocals on that one. Yeah, it’s a weak point of the album. ---

Journey, believe it or not. Pineda (now) and Perry (past), of course – as well as Fleischman and Rollie in the past. Jonathan Cain did “All That Really Matters” and they tried something with Red13 in which each artist took a turn at lead, with the stage revolving around when it was time to change frontmen. So that would be Augeri, Cain, Schon, and Castronovo around that period. –G! ---

Is it a cheat to include rap groups like Beastie boys, NWA, and Wu-Tang Clan? If we can convince Bill Kelliher to sing on at least one song, Mastodon would count. ---

Each of the four members of Sloan have written and sung their own singles. (Or so they say – I can’t reliably tell their singing voices apart.) ---

I’ve been listening to them for years and had no idea they had more than one lead singer. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bands-where-all-members-have-sung-lead-vocals-at-least-once/807599.md?page=3)
