And he wasn't "replaced" by Gilmour. Most of the current bandmembers when Syd was let go contributed vocals, and Roger Waters did a lot of the songwriting. When Waters left in 1985, Gilmour remained and the band kept going. Technically, no one was "replaced" they just left and the remaining members just kept going. I feel this was a bad example to include in a list of "replacements".

Luckily they got Bon who, according to Angus was "hardworking and really pulled us together". That's when they hit the big time...in Oz at least. They were on Countdown, doing live sellout gigs then started touring as backup bands to Rainbow and Kiss for e.g. Gene Simmons actually said they were the best and most memorable band to ever open for them. It's on a KZitem video. As for these guys, Bon was the personality and character plus the voice, Mal was the genious driving force behind everything and the main writer and Angus was the monster (his words not mine) let loose on stage. Hard to believe he called himself lazy ay? When Bon died, it was devastating. How could they call it quits like Led Zep who had over a decade of worldwide fame? So they persuaded Brian to join them who Bon admired. Brian was hardly just a replacement. Their fans did not change. It's idiots who try to invent controversy. I'm really disappointed in this clip.

Comparing Brian Johnson to Bon Scott is blasphemy. Brian did not "replace" Bon, he filled a void left behind by Bon. Yes, Brian Johnson was a perfect fit. But, ACDC was coming into their own as a band, same result if Bon would have been there - they were headed to the top regardless if Bon or Brian was fronting the band. Both are/were awesome, the idea that Johnson "replaced" Scott is not an accurate depiction of the change. ACDC probably wouldn't have achieved the heights without Brian Johnson after the loss of Bon - that goes without saying. Johnson was probably the only guy that could follow Bon with ACDC and keep the momentum. Back in Black is testimony to how well Johnson fit the band - perfect.

He got to the point he wasn’t even showing up for gigs, or he would walk around mumbling on stage. David Gilmore was already with Pink Floyd, and took over as lead singer. I should add that I have seen Pink Floyd 5 times in my life and have been a fan since the early 70s.

This comes from Malcom in a filmed interview. So the Youngs were and are and extremely talented family.

It's not like Bon Scott was a bad frontman or anything, and he certainly had a different charismatic approach to frontmanning than Brian Johnson did, but you can't really argue that AC/DC wasn't more successful after the lineup change. It's just a matter of how long would it have taken for Bon Scott's AC/DC to reach the mainstream worldwide success that Brian Johnson's did. Alas, we'll never know.

DURAN DURAN would not be the same without Simon. He definitely made the band more successful. As soon as you hear a DURAN DURAN song, you immediately know who they are because of Simon's vocals. His voice is very recognizable.

Duran Duran actually never released an album featuring Steven Duffy. They did submit their original demos with him though, which featured a sub-par version of "Girls On Film". Not sure they belong on this list because of that... however you folks did leave Duran Duran out of many lists in which they definitely belonged. Anyone who's seen them live knows they are one of the most underrated bands in history.

Bawbster1 Nope, the lead singer who recorded THAT set of demos with the band was Andy Wickett. Though Stephen and the band did record a demo called Dusk and Dawn back before they had a drummer. Anyway, this list is about lead singers period, not lead singers who recorded albums that were released to the general public, and had you gone back in time to 1978 Birmingham and seen Duran Duran live at Barbarella's, you'll have seen Stephen Duffy as their lead singer.

One band missed on this list is REO Speedwagon. Kevin Cronin joined the band briefly but they replaced him with Mike Murphy. Before Mike Murphy Terry Luttrell held the spot. So three years after they dropped Cronin for Mike Murphy they decided to get Kevin Cronin back and the rest is history. I think it's safe to assume that had they not got Kevin to come back, REO would have probably remained a regional band from Champaign Illinois. The song writing team of Kevin Cronin and Gary Richrath proved to be fantastic!! It's a shame Gary passed away a few years ago, he was a fret shredding dynamo that really cranked that band up!! Gary left REO in 1989 and Dave Amato replaced him. Dave is a good guitar player, but he is no Gary Richrath. Those big REO hits all have a bit of a solo spot for Gary and that made those songs something to remember or better yet something you will never forget!!

Lead singer position for REO Speedwagon was offered to Greg X. Volz in 1976, who turned it down and went on to fame in a smaller genre with the Christian band Petra.

@@Theospeak1 That's right. I read that on Kevin Cronin's wiki page. Kind of makes you wonder how the band would have turned out if Voltz had accepted the offer and stayed in rock. I always wonder why they took 3 years to get Kevin back. Obviously he didnt have much going on if he was still available after 3 years. I guess in the end it doesnt matter. He did come back and they exploded! They probably needed that break to realize what needed to happen to make it big.

@chowpuppy I grew up in Illinois back when REO was getting their start. I was in high school in the early 70's when they were starting to record albums. I was always and have always been rock and roll through and through. My wife is more country so on long trips we have to switch off on the type of music playing. When REO got Gary Richrath (RIP) in the band in 1970 his contributions really made a difference IMO. I for one just loved his lead guitar contributions he became the sound of REO. It's a shame he passed away so young. I still listen to some of their more lead guitar filled songs going to and from work. My favorite is the Flying Turkey Trot or Riding the Storm out, but that's just me. There are definitely many more. In regards to the change in personnel not having an effect, that one person has suggested, here is a bit of trivia that will change your mind. Gary left in 1989, as soon as that happened REO lost much of its fan base. People just didnt except REO without Gary. Dave Amato is no where near the same league as Gary when it comes to playing and people heard this. REO only put out one some since 1989 that hit the Billboard top 100 (65th). That speaks volumes about what Gary meant to REO and REO fans.

Clearly you don't know your history as much as you think you do Greg Rolie was lead singer on the first 2 Journey records, that makes him a lead singer whether you like or not. In fact Fleischman was only added due to pressure from there label and even then he continued to share duties. My father was a fan since there first record he actually still has them on Vinyl, having seen them in San Francisco before they hit big when he was stationed on Treasure Island and well when he saw them Rolie was lead. Just because he played an instrument doesn't mean he wasn't lead singer.

One big omission is Grace Slick replacing Signe Anderson in Jefferson Airplane. I guess they technically had three lead singers at their peak with Paul Kantner, Marty Balin and Signe Anderson to start (It's No Secret being her biggest song), but Signe was replaced by Grace Slick and we all know the hits after she joined, with White Rabbit being the most memorable.

... AC/DC was tremendously successful before Johnson joined. The point of this list is about bands who never made it huge with their original singer and then became huge with a new singer. AC/DC was crazy huge before Johnson joined the band. TNT, Dirty Deeds, Highway to Hell, Long Way to the Top, Big Balls... Dude, AC/DC was an international success before Bon Scott died. For that reason, they don't really fit on this list. Look at the other bands. Pretty much no one knows/cares what Fleetwood Mac/Journey/Pantera were doing before their new singers joined. AC/DC doesn't fit that criteria.

REO Speedwagon - Kevin Cronin replaced singers on 2 separate occasions, the second when they garnered the most success Rainbow - Dio left and Graham Bonnett gave them their 1st Hot 100 appearance. And Joe Lynn Turner replaced him, scored them their 1st Top 40 in "Stone Cold" and a handful of Rock hits, such as "I Surrender," "Can't Happen Here," "Jealous Lover," & Street of Dreams" along with "Stone Cold," which was their lone #1 Rock hit as well
