Which Band Had The Easiest Transition Between Singers?

[Grub]

I agree that Dio is a better singer than Ozzy, but all the songs that he writes sounds the same. Once you've listened to Holy Diver, you've pretty much heard all he has to offer.

Dude really liked his rainbows.

I don't think so, mainly because I listened to Rainbow, his band before Sabbath, and their album "Rising" is a masterpiece and did Maidens schtick before they did.

Faith No More

Nah, even his stuff with rainbow sounds the same.

 

[William Murderface]

RATM becoming Audioslave. Ditching Zach de la Rocha for Chris Cornell was a great move for the band end of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally different sounds and bands, but replacing the lead singer was super easy to do and took the band from just a "we're angry pseudo-Communists on a tour sponsored by a bank" to a legitimate rock band.

Pink Floyd

The Syd stuff sounds different, but not that different - and it's still identifiably the same band. I think Pink Floyd is a very strong contender.

I was also referring to how Pink Floyd was able to swap David and Roger's vocals for different songs and make everything fit.

Dance Gavin Dance.

 

[oldTireWater]

Crosby, Stills, and Nash by getting rid of Young.

 

[𒀭Δημιουργός χάος]

Nirvana

 

[The Connected Nose]

Once you've listened to Holy Diver, you've pretty much heard all he has to offer.

Do you really need anything else (other than Rainbow In The Dark)?

[Señora Airi]

I'd say Helloween, considering all three vocalists are in the band now.

 

[Johnathan Readit]

Van Halen, going from Hagar back to Dave

 

[Scritti Politti]

Dead Can Dance, effortlessly switching between Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry.

 

[Carlos Thin]

Van Halen, going from Hagar back to Dave

Well first they had to go to Gary Cherone to release one of the worst albums of all time, to go back to Hagar, to go back to Dave

Joy Division

My votes on this, New Order is light years ahead of Joy Division

Blaze Bayley was the best singer Iron Maiden ever had.

Yes, absolutely, I wouldn't mind telling you the story. Erm... I went to court today for a speeding ticket, and I told the judge, erm... "Let me tell you something, and you listen and you listen good, I'm only gonna say this one time and one time only, I don't repeat myself for nobody, " I said. I says... "I'm here to pay a speeding ticket, not to listen to your lectures and hear you run your mouth for an hour." I says "I'm here to pay off my speeding ticket ...and I'm here to get my fines out of the way and get the fuck to work." The judge says "You can't talk like that in my courtroom, you're in contempt of court." then I said... I told the judge, "If that's the best you can do, I feel sorry for you." I said "Why don't you just shut your fucking mouth for once and listen." I said "I'm not gonna take any shit." I said "I'm gonna pay my speeding ticket like I said." I walked up to the god damn judge and I hand him my 25 dollars and I says "Here's my money, now I am leaving."
And I left it at that.
Then, before I left, I turned around and told the judge "I'm here to state who I am and be honest with you." I said "If they thought I was dangerous on the road like you're trying to accuse me of, wouldn't they have taken my license when I first got it? Yes they would." And the judge says "Yeah, you have a point, " He goes "You don't need to get loud, " I said "Don't get loud?" I says "I've got every right to get loud." I says "You can't do a god damn thing about it, because I'm expressing myself in your court, and there is nothing you can do about it. You think you're god because you have a robe and you can put people up the goddamn river for 20 years? Well you're not."
And I left it at that.

 

[Lil Miku]

Dance Gavin Dance.

I was going to stay, when I listened to their discography I somehow didn't even notice that there were different singers lol.

 

[Pee Cola]

and why is it AC/DC?

Because they did it twice. Nobody remembers Dave Evans because he was kinda meh, and Bon replaced him back when Acca Dacca was still just a pub rock band gigging around Sydney.

Bon Scott was a fan of Brian Johnson, and Bon's family encouraged the band to hire Brian after Bon's passing. Can't get higher praise than that.

Axl Rose doesn't count as an AC/DC singer; he was just on loan from Guns 'n' Roses to help the band fulfil tour commitments while Brian took time off due to hearing problems.

 

[Rocinante]

Deep Purple
Ian Gillan was the superior vocalist for their hard rock direction, and we got Captain Beyond out of it
