10 Rock Bands That Had More Than One Lead Singer

10. Blink-182

Pop punk tends to get a lot more hate than it is really deserves. Whereas some of the more cringey nostalgia acts like Simple Plan and Good Charlotte had their fair share of sore spots, groups in the genre's inception like Green Day and Weezer helped us move out of the doom and gloom we were getting after years of importing our music from the grungy Northwest. It may have been a little sophomoric at the best of times, but Blink-182 were the angsty bros you didn't realize you wanted.

Despite the more laughable memes that have come from songs like All the Small Things, these California brats' real appeal came from the fact that they had almost two separate frontmen. With the god amongst drummers Travis Barker letting his music do the talking, both Tom Delonge and Mark Hoppus offered two different sides of the teenage demographic, whether it be Delonge's delightful nasal whine or Hoppus' more subdued and thoughtful delivery.

Even when Tom decided to part ways to chase aliens, the arrival of Matt Skiba brought an even greater tinge to the group's usual formula, complete with a set of pipes that were as unnervy as they were passionate. Blink-182 might be a band that you remember blaring at the gym of your middle school, but when playing off one another, the vocal chemistry was actually fairly legit.
