I have trouble telling David Gilmore and Roger Waters apart in Pink Floyd.

I didn't have any trouble with these two once I learned which was which. Waters usually has a higher-pitched grating voice while Gilmour is usually more on the lower, smoother end. Richard Wright also co-led vocals on "Time" and full lead vocals on "Wearing the Inside Out".

I want to say the Cars' similar sounding vocalists was done intentionally, in case one of them left the band. It ended up working well for the 2010 reunion after Ben's death.

Olive Garden must be stopped.  I must stop them.

Don't @ me. Seriously.

Surprised no one has mentioned The Band.
Rick Danko, Levon Helm, and Richard Manuel all sang, sometimes on the same song. Even Robbie Robertson did vocals on a couple of tracks. Really, the only one who never sang was Garth Hudson.

Does Bob Dylan qualify for a lead singer for The Band?

I would say technically no...
because they were his backing band in '66-'67, then Basement Tapes was unreleased until 1975... the only album in which he could be thought of as lead singer of the band would be "Planet Waves," but by then they had already established themselves as a separate musical act. And even on that album, they were just the backing band, they didn't write any of the songs nor sing. 
I think of them as two separate musical acts that sometimes worked together
