Best front man ever?

[Midnightangel]

Lots of choices on this one...to many for a poll.

Freddy Mercury - Queen.

His vocal range, and power added to the fact this man was acutely aware that it's about entertainment and always put on a great show have him at the top of my list.

agreed that there are too many to choose from but, for the very reasons you stated, my vote is for Steven Tyler

 

[RoboticDreams]

I'd go with David Lee Roth but Layne Staley would be a close second for me.

 

[David_son]

I hate when other people try to sing Queen songs he has such a unique voice that anyone else just messes it up. Kinda like steven tyler.

 

[redlegs@hokies]

Robert Plant.

 

[HammerDown]

Robert Plant.

...and when Mick was on, he was a force. Sammy Hagar was full-throttle too. The dude could sing Eddie's solos. Amazing.

 

[JuiceTheGator]

Wendy Williams of the Plasmatics. I know what you're saying, they suck. But hey, did your rock star go to the trouble to fuck himself with an axe handle in concert for your entertainment?

For as weak as their music is, you have to throw in Mick Jagger...who btw is 70 f'n years old today.

I'll go with Morrison:

 

[Midnightangel]

Steven Tyler is definitely up there. His range is sick. There are female vocalists that can't hit some of those notes - like that one in 'Dream On".

As for David Lee Roth - he's on stage with one of the best guitarists ever in Eddie Van Halen. He has to have the vocals and showmanship to keep up with that.

These two are in my top 5.

 

[HammerDown]

Yeah, was coming back to list Jim Morrison. Maybe the most profound frontman ever?

 

[Midnightangel]

How about some love for Roger Daltrey?

 

[HammerDown]

What about Lemmy or Halford? Ozzy? Bruce Dickinson? Dio?

 

[LeaderOCola]

Your answer SHOULD BE

Runhild Gammelsæter

 

[geneh_33]

Robert Plant.

All the way!

falsetto isn't really 'hitting it' either

Gets my vote but one who is often overlooked: Greg Lake

 

[packerzrule]

Jon Anderson
Roger Waters
Peter Gabriel

 

[WhiteMamba]

Andrew Wood 1966 -1990

What could have been...

RIP
