Best frontman in a Band

[NorCalSeagull]

Liam Gallagher. I have seen Oasis loads of times (about 16) and he is such an immense presence without actually doing anything. He is everything that a rock star should be, his prowling the stage and staring out the audience is far more exciting than any elaborate act ( not that the likes of Mercury were'nt good). Pure rock and roll. simple

Only one man should have this honour, Mr Ian Astbury, The Cult

That would be Mr Ron Mael I believe.
He dared to wear the Chaplin moustache that (Nasty) Mr Hitler had made decidedly unfashionable.
Talented at weird detached staring whilst brother Russel was singing at mental octaves.
Legend.

There can be only one. Stand up Mr Ian Kilminster.

This is the end of this thread.

Only one man should have this honour, Mr Ian Astbury, The Cult.

I worked as a roadie for the Cult in the days when they were known as Death Cult. Ian Astbury is, without a shadow of a doubt, the biggest wanker I've ever met in my life.

Jagger

Bolan

liam gallagher-same as cobain. a defining voice of the 90's

one of the most ridiculous statements I've EVER heard!
Cobain - Legendary status around the World!
Gallagher - Legendary status to a few Brits acting like they love the Beatles

 

[Cian]

Cobain and Gallagher were both whiney, overrated GITS.

 

[Trufflehound]

Nicky Tesco of The Members

I always thought the lead singer of Black Lace was good

Johnny Rotten - Sex Pistols

....and still is, as frontman for The Doors .

I have it from an inside scource, he thinks he's 'it', and is not well liked.
