I like to compress instruments in the tracking stage somewhat. Not to the point of lifelessness...within reason.

Then, in the mix, put a compression on the lead vocal, and nothing else. Let all the instruments and backing vocals breathe around that one solid lead vocal at the center.

Works for me.
