1. Robert Plant
2. Mick Jagger
3. Roger Daltrey
4. Van Morrison
5. Rod Stewart
6. David Bowie
7. David Byrne
8. Bono
9. Michael Stipe

You didn't list any reasons?....


Oct 21, 2019, 4:53 PM

I can understand not like Stipe as a frontman...heck, he couldn't even face the crowd in the early days of REM, but not thinking Bono should be on the list? I guess if you hate U2, but hopefully your music taste isn't that bad :)

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

My changes were my context.


Oct 21, 2019, 5:03 PM

But I've really no use for U2. Maybe they got Rock 101ed to death before I ever really gave them a shot. I see no real reason to go back and learn them now though.

OK, clearly Mick over Plant. Do you know how many bands


Oct 21, 2019, 6:42 PM

Plant has fronted since Zep? A LOT, at least on recordings and late nite TV. Wit zero recognition. Whilest Mick's been in the news and carrying shows for decades.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yea, top 3 is hard for me. You could arguably put Daltrey


Oct 21, 2019, 6:45 PM

number one. Mick has the biggest body of work for sure. The other two are more dynamic.




2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpgringofhonor-jospehg.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Playing no instrument is quite limiting, but......

David Lee Roth
Ronnie Van Zant
Johnny Rotten
Joey Ramone
Geoff Tate
Bruce Dickinson
Rob Halford

Pat Benatar
Ann Wilson (does flute count?)

less not even in a top 10.

badge-donor-05yr.jpgmilitary_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I don’t like Queen’s music, so talented front men like


Oct 21, 2019, 7:03 PM

Freddie, Steve Tyler, and Axel Rose are left off my list. If you don’t like their music, you can’t really list them.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpgringofhonor-jospehg.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


By this logic, since I don’t like Alabama football, they are


Oct 21, 2019, 7:09 PM

not in my Top 25 football teams this year.

I like the way you think. But for clarity, maybe the question should be favorite front men, not greatest.

badge-donor-05yr.jpgmilitary_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Not really. I’m sure there are some you’d leave off my list


Oct 21, 2019, 7:22 PM

I’m fully not all that big on Queen either, but Freddie was a helluva front man with a capital F.
