to be honest im not sure paul was as good as john :(

but of course i forgot to think about the beatles, but excluding them considering they were one of a kind, and actually if you wanted to argue youcould say george harrison was just as good of a singer, and even ringo can sing, but i meant post Beatles


Answers:

How about one of the best rock'n'roll bands of all, one that no one seems to know except fans from the Northeast, "Simpsons" fiends and fellow musicians: NRBQ? Keyboardist Terry Adams and bassist Joey Spampinato, the band's two remaining founders from 1968, share vocal duties. And when guitarist Al Anderson was in the band (early '70s-early '90s), he sang some leads, too.

They haven't been especially active in recent years, though they did play a couple of reunion shows in Northampton, Mass., in the spring, and all of the band members plus Al were backing musicians on the last SpongeBob album, "Best Day Ever." They're one of the best bands America ever produced. Together, the band has swallowed a couple of encyclopedias of American music among them, and if you don't have fun at a Q show, you have no pulse.

Musicians sure know who they are. Joey was in Chuck Berry's band (with Keith Richards, Eric Clapton and others) in "Hail, Hail Rock & Roll," and was rumored to be in line to replace Bill Wyman when he left the Stones. Their horn section has included members of Sun Ra's Arkestra. Terry has played jazz with the likes of Carla Bley. Al was a successful blue-eyed soul singer/songwriter/ guitarist before joining the Q (with The Wildweeds of "No Good to Cry" fame) and a successful Nashville songwriter afterward (he wrote a lot of songs for The Mavericks at one point). Drummer Tommy Ardolino produced several collections of cheesy set-your-poetry-to-music records from the '60s and '70s. Their songs have been covered by the likes of Bonnie Raitt (three songs on her "Green Lights" album) and Dave Edmunds ("I Want You Bad," "Nothing Takes the Place of You"). And the band got a lot of mileage in the late '80s and '90s out of an Elvis Costello magazine interview where he said he'd rather hear NRBQ than one of his country's bands, something to that effect. Also, one of the executive producers of "The Simpsons" was such a fan that the band eventually "appeared" on the show in the '90s.

If you've never heard them, start with their best album, "NRBQ at Yankee Stadium," from '78 ...
