Top 5 Greatest Frontmen of All-Time

[TexasGirl15]

Hmm... I don't feel like thinking enough to make an order, so here's 5:

Mick Jagger
Robert Plant
Kurt Cobain
Freddie Mercury
#1 - Jimi Hendrix

This has to go to Jimi Hendrix however you look at it. Just hearing him play guitar live would put him near the top, but on top of that he put on one hell of a live show as well.

Jim Morrison would go here, except for a little incident where he decided to take the phrase "Rock out with your **** out" a little too far.

[Just a gurl]

**** cobain. Novoselic is where it's at.

[Kat T]

As far as Cobain is concerned, I don't know. He was kind of a ****, and had all the same pressures as Vedder... except Cobain buckled and shot himself in the face.

You tell me who's "greater". The one who broke and killed himself, or the one who's still around writing music?

I guess I see your side with the arrogant bit. He did insult both the Monkeys and what was it, Glasvegas? But he says he has reason. And tbh, I dont really rate banRAB on their merabers, for me its the music that counts. Then if the menbers are cool, it makes them cooler (: get what I mean?

I see where shes coming from. Being a girl, I do admit he is pretty hot. Sorry.

[Masaki]

Not for me, certainly not top 5. Not even top 10. Sure you'll find some that will say yes though.

My top five is weird. I can only list people I have seen live, because I can only get a full grasp of what front men can do when I see the live right? So this is my top five according to show I have seen.

Cedric Bixler-Zavala (the Mars Volta [wish I saw him with ATDI])
Atsuo Mizuno (Boris, BORIS, boris)
Daniel Johnston
Conor Oberst (bright eyes)
Jordan Blilie and Johnny Whitney (the Blood Brothers)

it's 6 but The last two had a two frontman thing goin with the blood bros (gonna miss em). But thats my top five, in no particular order. All of them were amazing live, alot of energy and allaround connection with auidence and band. Almost to the point ware a set list wasn't really needed, you could tell they read the band merabers minRAB.

[Becky O]

1. Dio
2. Freddy Mercury
3. Alice Cooper
4. the duo of Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell
5. Ozzy - not a great singer, but a great 'mad man'

I'd like to put King Buzzo in there, but I really can't call him one of the 'greatest'.

[This is Me <3]

In no particular order I'd say:

Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters)
Corey Taylor (Slipknot)
Hayley Williams (Paramore)
Serj Tankian (System of a Down)
Freddie Mercury (Queen)

Not necessarily because I love their music, but because they are/were great at being frontmen in terms of being an image for the band, making their live shows stand out, etc.

[Sparkles]

Most rock and roll lyrics are silly, nonsensical, chauvinistic and sexist. that's what makes some rock n roll banRAB fun. AC/DC for example.. Pearl Jam aren't great by any means but they aren't terrible either. Couple of decent recorRAB.

[wookiee lover]

What has he done to lead you to believe that he is a great guitarist?
