Greatest band, greatest frontman

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I dont remember seeing Brian Johnson mentioned..

Probably for a reason; this is a thread about the best frontmen, not some bloke who got lucky and who lost his voice 3 decades ago

 

[Dave 123]

Gary Barlow.

 

[raleighnut]

#72

Must have missed that, worth posting a bit more of him though.

 

[Tin Pot]

Bryan Ferry and roxy Music

Obviously a joke

 

[Tin Pot]

Eric Clapton - Cream
Jack Bruce - Cream

Take yer pick.

Ginger can be on his own in the Greatest Drummer thread

Eric Clapton a Front Man - are you on the same heroin he needed to overcome his stage fright?

I think not.

 

[Tin Pot]

Kelly Jones of the Stereophonics. Plays guitar well and writes a good song, but it's the gravel soaked in honey voice that's great.

Great but he's a singer not a performer.

Another aging rawk fan here, I agree with almost everything posted thus far, some that may not have been though....

Robert Plant, at the height of their power nobody could even come close to Zep.
Ozzy, in Sabbath on on his own
Steve Marriot in either the Small Faces or Humble Pie
Ronnie James Dio
Prince - credit where it is due!
James Dean Bradfield -Manics
Marc Bolan - T Rex
David Bowie - In all most all incarnations, though tin machine was cack.

Some kind of illness has taken you.

Plant, Ozzy are contenders. The rest are in no way seminal front men.

 

[Tin Pot]

I would choose Axel Rose - Guns N Roses as they are my favourite band but there is no doubt Freddie Mercury was the master entertainer

Axl in the same league and Freddie - finally - an obvious choice. <applause>

 

[Tin Pot]

For the Manchester crew..
Ian Brown..Stone Roses
Liam Gallagher...Oasis

If you have seen these people on stage, then You are on Crack.

 

[Tin Pot]

No mention yet for .......
Bob Marley and the Wailers.
Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath. (Edit ... Oops, at least 2 mentions already!).
Jon Bon Jovi; Bon Jovi.
Sting, The Police.

Do you know wha a Front Man is?

 

[Tin Pot]

it's almost as if the OP asked us to list a sh!t band and a tosser.... so in keeping with the trend

U2. Bono

Points for the band but the front man can't pip Freddie or Jagger.

 

[Thomk]

Geldof - The Rats.

 

[Tin Pot]

I dont remember seeing Brian Johnson mentioned..AC/DC..

He best band Id agree, but no world changing front man - and that hurts me to say it.
