Then follows Robert Plant & ...Jared Leto .
What did I say ?
I am a Frenchie ,as Mick affectionately called them in the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1977 .
i know. i'm thinking of asking bv for a raise...
well, i've been working strictly on commissions up to this point. i get a quarter each time i upset someone here. no base wages at all. i'm thinking of foregoing the commissions altogether and having bv triple my wages....good thinking?? think bv will go for it? kinda nervous about asking.

What's the deal with the Oasis haters at this forum? I don't think that Liam is a better frontman than Jagger but Oasis is great and so is Liam.

Pretty loose list.
I don't think Lennon or Maccartney are frontmen really, and I wouldn't call James Brown a front man. He's just James Brown.
Springsteen seems more like an individual artist too.
I would think Micheal Stipe and Peter Gabriel (for genesis) and Ozzy would be somewhere on a legitimate list of great frontmen.

That list is rather embarrassing. A frontman doesn't play guitar most of the show, so that eliminates McCartney, Lennon, Springsteen, even Joe Strummer (and I am a big fan of all 4). A frontman is the focal point, you are watching his every move, what is he going to do next, he has the crowd in the palm of his hand. I love Oasis but Liam just stands there and sneers through most of the show...not the greatest band to watch visually.
The best frontmen (in no order):
Mick Jagger
Elvis Presley
James Brown
Bono
Michael Stipe
Freddie Mercury
Jim Morrison
Robert Plant
Roger Daltrey
Peter Gabriel
Jim Kerr
Ian Brown

Saw Oasis open up for Neil Young & Crazy Horse in Barrie, Ontario in 1996 - found them tiresome and boring. I'm not saying they are a bad band but clearly I didn't think they were any match for the Stones in their prime. The one name that keeps popping up is Freddie Mercury which I understand from the point of view of him being a good performer but I don't think Queen's music is really all that great. I can't stand We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions and Bohemian Rhapsody is a novelty song. A lot of what they did isn't really rock 'n' roll. Jagger in rooster on acid prime was the best white front man. James Brown, Michael Jackson and Prince are probably the three best frontmen I've ever seen. Yes Iggy is amazing.

Chris Martin a better front man than Jagger, Springsteen, James Brown and, in fact, every frontman in history bar four? I mean, seriously?
It's 'Q' magazine, for @#$%& sake. Why bother getting worked up. Everyone over the age of 25 that I know gave up on that tiresome publication years ago. Whereas it once led the field with sharp, incisive music journalism, almost every issue in recent years tends to be padded out with attention-seeking space-filling 'lists'.
Obviously compiled by a group of readers who discovered music within the last 5 years.

i always thought Ray Davies of the Kinks was an underrated frontperson...considered more of a singer/songwriter....saw the Kinks in the late '70s during the Misfits/Low Budget era and Davies was on fire

Liam Gallagher's not the best frontman ever but he's up there. Probably the single most charismatic musician I've ever seen. He barely moves onstage bar walking about a bit but his presence is so compelling - I'd take it over Mick's idiot dancing any day. He can make the crowd go insane by shaking a tambourine. Great voice too, needless to say, and he's written some very decent songs in recent years.

While Mick is my favourite, Freddy Mercury's legacy as a live frontman leaves me wondering who even came close to him. Watch Live Aid folks. Mick's still way up there though, that's why the Stones are the Stones for me.

mick certainly knows how to work a stage and a crowd and all that. and he is definitely one of the main prototype frontmen who have shaped all those that have come after him. having said that, mick stopped evolving his stage character several decades ago, and it's become a kind of rote thing for him...and frankly, as a result, kinda boring. he does his own nightly version of "good to be here/anywhere" stage act; the spontaneity has left the building....
