This is a discussion i've had many times with a friend of mine. Just how many bands are there where the bass player is also lead singer?? Seems to be a rare thing.
Here's my first, and a damned good one Geddy Lee: Rush

Phil Lynott - Thin Lizzy
Phil Lesh - Grateful Dead (not their main vocalist, but he did take the lead on a few songs) "With breath in our bodies, we sing the refrain"

Mark Sandman(rip) - Morphine Les Claypool(is that described as singing, Les??) Tony Levin - when he is in his own band, backing vox for King Crimson, AWBH and Peter Gabriel John Wetton - Asia(uughhhh, terrible stuff, but a great player and very good singer), King Crimson Demis Roussos - yep, the tent man played bass and sang for Aphrodites Child and is most impressive on the 666 album they did Gail Ann Dorsey - played bass and sang for Bowie

Richard Hell while with The Voidoids.
I try not to remember the nightmare vision of his kind of thumb-bass hell but in the spirit of the thread I will mention Level 42's Mark King. Almost forgot - Burke Shelley of Budgie.

Sorry Martin - it was against my normal instincts and I can only roll out the lame excuse that had it not been me it would have been someome else.
Here's another choker - Nick Beggs of post-Limahl Kajadodoo. Sorry again.

Nick Beggs played a blinder with John Paul Jones, who also plays bass and sings lead voice on his last solo album, on the tour for the Zooma album. He however did not sing.
