Best Lead/Backing Vocal Pair

[Night Prowler]

Schaffer/Barlow in Iced Earth

Staley/Cantrell in Alice In Chains

Hetfield/Newsted in Metallica

Discuss!

Staley-Cantrell is the clear winner for me. It's much more of a defining element for the band's sound compared to other pairs anyway.

This.
But I’d say that applies even more to Michael Anthony’s contributions in Van Halen.

 

[Welsh Phantom]

Harris / Di'Anno

.....wait.....

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Staley-Cantrell is definitely going to be the most integral pair to the overall sound of the band. Alice In Chains without those harmonies wouldn't have been nearly as special.

I will add...

Whoever is singing for Nightwish/Marco Hietala

 

[Sth2112]

The beatles
Crosby, Stills, Nash (& Young)
Kiss
Van halen
The who
King’s X
Pain of salvation
Alice in chains
Nightwish

 

[The Flash]

I don't think Beatles or CSNY count, not really a lead/backing situation there.

It shouldn't. Also applicable to Gilmour/Waters/Wright

 

[Vantage Point]

Bowes and Morley of Thunder.
Coverdale and Marsden back in the classic Whitesnake era.
