Cool songs by your favorite band(s) that the lead singer does not sing?

The original recording of Pink Floyd's "Have a Cigar" was sung by Roy Harper.

Fantastic song indeed! I also love how Floyd changed it up with Roger and David, even though Roger was a huge control freak. David's voice was much more soothing than Rog's.
 
Chris Squire takes the lead (primarily) on this one:
Yes - Man in the Moon


Love these tracks with Pete taking the lead:
Cut My Hair


Blue, Red, and Grey


and a couple from The Ox

i don't think the beatles or pink floyd had a lead singer

I think it can be safely said that McCartney and Lennon shared lead vocals for the Beatles. While admittedly, George had 1 or 2 songs on every album and Ringo had 1 an album (excluding Hard Day's Night, Magical Mystery Tour and Let It Be, but 2 on the White Album), none of them except "Something" ever charted, putting them IMO in the same category as Keith Richards in the Rolling Stones' latest works etc - certainly not the lead singer, but regularly features on vocals anyway.

Feeling That Way/Anytime by Journey. Gregg Rolie is a solid singer in his own right as evident in his stint with Santana.
