Best frontman in music?

[Deleted User]

Came across this article from the NME recently, it's a few years old. Anyway, they picked their top 50 following a poll. Ironically, they excluded Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode from their choice of 50, even though he was voted no. 3 by their readers. Surprised to see Freddie Mercury as low as 6th, as would have though he's be many people's first choice.

So who would yours be? Have to go for Gahan myself, to see him whip the crowd up into the arm swinging in Never Let Me Down is almost like a preacher controlling a congregation...

Josh Homme. Now I'm seriously biased because QOTSA are far and away my favourite band, but the man is a god.

For me it has to be Eddie Vedder, nobody else comes close to frontman perfection in recent years

ceadaoin.

Im not particularly a queen fan but Freddie Mercury would be the best in my opinion. There is a live concert, I think its at wembley, and it's amazing the way he leads the crowd.

In terms of copycats, definitely. Every second busker tries to sound like him.

Morto.

Too young to have ever seen him live but Ian Curtis deserves a mention.

As above. They are both dicks. All hard and acting the big man on stage surrounded by security and roadies.

Knobs.

Best frontman I've seen live was Hank von Helvete, the mad ****.

I am basing my selection on the energy and how they hold the crowd in the palm of their hand during the entire show, almost leaving the rest of the band in the shadows.
I know it's been said already, and it will be said again.. but No 1 has to be Freddie Mercury,(Queen).
Dave Gahan, (Depeche Mode), keeps the crowd fully engaged.
Billy Joe Armstrong, (GreenDay), like being on a roller coaster. Great crowd interaction.
Others trail along somewhere behind.

But a special mention does go out to...

Christy Dignam, (Aslan).
Pete Doherty, (Babyshambles, Libertines).
Dave Browne, (PictureHouse)

Yep Iggy Pop and the Stooges get my vote.

Ed Winchester

Mentioned only twice in 8 pages, so clearly not a popular opinion, but for me its Liam Gallagher. i know a lot of people think he's a bit of a dick. But, the man has immense stage presence. And he does it all hardly moving a muscle. Great voice for Rock n Roll. I love seeing him live.

Poor guy opened for Madonna at Slane, no one seemed interested in listening to him.

Calling a fellow a fxxxxt while threatening to go down and buttfxxk him?

That's hilarious.

Drummer looks like he's squirming though.
