This list was prompted by a question on University Challenge recently
- The Kinks, "Death of a Clown" (1967) Dave Davies not brother Ray
- Canned Heat, "Going Up the Country" (1968) Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson not Bob "The Bear" Hite
- Marshall Tucker Band, "Can't You See" (1973) Toy Caldwell not Doug Gray
- The Eagles, "Take It to the Limit" (1975) Bassist Randy Meisner not Glenn Frey
- Blue Oyster Cult, "(Don't Fear) the Reaper" (1976) Buck Dharma not Eric Bloom
- Police, "On Any Other Day" (1979) Stewart Copeland not Sting
- ABBA Does your mother know? (1979) Björn Ulvaeus not Agnetha Fältskog or Anni-Frid Lyngstad

- U2 "Numb" (1993) The Edge not Bono
- Oasis, "Don't Look Back in Anger" (1996) Noel Gallagher not brother Liam
(There are lots of Queen contenders but no obvious one. I toyed with including Ringo Starr singing With a little help from my friends. May be Happy Nightmare on the first Focus album where Martiin Dresden sings could be added but that's pretty obscure)
