To me, Ozzie was always the voice of Sabbath - I lost interest in the band after Dio took over the mic.
Someone mentioned Styx...same deal. Without Dennis DeYoung, its not Styx (I think Larry Gowan is doin' vocals for them current).
Doobie Brothers also come to mind. Tom Johnston is the only original vocalist I ever liked...the succession of others (worst of which was Mike McDonald) failed to keep the spirit alive.
But yeah - Freddie was Queen. Sure, Brian May's guitar work may still be there, but it ain't the same without Freddie's voice and charisma.
And what's Zeppelin without Jon Bonham? Ok, Jason's got the genetics, but he's no Bonzo.
