the most worrying thing for me is that chris martin is on there.

removes all credibility....

[grumpyhack]

No Springsteen? He leads a band, holds it together and drives it.

[strummer77]

Alex Turner a better front man than Plant, Strummer and Bruce?

Just shows why you don't pay any attention to lists.

[MrZigster]

That's bollocks, that is.

His brother is at least ten times better and goes up to eleven.

Dave Gahan & Brandon Flowers ffs?

Didn't David Bowie front a little known band called The Spiders From Mars or something?

[Katster]

It's according to Xfm listeners. Now, I do listen to Xfm, but I am not the average boon army I love indie cos its cool to be different chav

[The Nal]

No Phil Collins!? Tut tut.

[MrZigster]

No Peter Gabriel?

[rexclark]

Not even the best frontman in Manchester.

Ian Curtis and Thom Yorke are way too low!

[The Nal]

Thom Yorke is a great front man?!

[Kyelo]

Robert Harvey from The Music is my favourite...not because they are one of my favourite bands but because no front man in the world can dance like him!

As for that list barring the likes of Freddie Mercury, I don't think many of them are that great...oddly I would put Liam Gallagher up there and I despise him and Oasis. To me a front man should have something that makes them stand out, unique and the likes of Bellamy and Yorke are members of great bands, maybe they are great song writers and composers but front men, for me, no.

[The Nal]

Hang on a fucking minute!! Just noticed Iggy Pop isn't on that list!?

What more do you fucking want from a frontman?!

And heres Jim Morrison at his finest! 1 min 50.

Also, John Lydon isn't there either. That list makes my balls ache with a deep sadness.

That list is rubbish - trust xfm listeners to be thickest!

Liam Gallagher had all the front man charisma of a cabbage at their last Glastonbury show - and that's the best of all time? Is it April 1st yet?

No Robert Plant? ha ha ha

you sure it's not April 1st?

[jump]

Personally I find the list sexist! Women weren't even allowed to compete!

I'd actually go as far as to say Alex Turner is a *bad* frontman.

My noticeable omissions .... Plant, Daltry, Lynott, Kiedis (in his day), Ozzy, Steve tyler, Zach de la Rocha, Axl Rose (again, in his day), Trent Reznor, Perry Farrell, Iggy, Marilyn Manson, Alice Cooper, christ, the list is long

Including the ones I actually agree with, then there's not space for all of them in a top 20, but they're better than half the fuckwits in there (and as a Radiohead fan, I agree, Thom shouldn't be there)

Edit: "Christ" as in an expletive. I have no idea how good a front man he was

[Ed209]

He was the greatest frontman of all time. He's still worshipped as a legend 2000 years on.

[kaosmark2]

Depends who you speak to. The Jews and Romans thought he was shite

[Ed209]

He was a fucking nut job. Heroin and whores after every show. Pissing into the jar of M&Ms and everything.

[eFestivals]

he was always good for mid-party munchies too, as long as you liked fish and bread.
