That list is kinda heavy metal/hard rock oriented, no surprise for Jagger so down on the list.

If Bruce Dickinson is such a good singer, shouldn't he find a better
band than Iron Maiden...no wonder I never heard of him before.

you seriously have never heard of iron maiden or bruce dickinson before? i find that crucially hard to believe considering they are one of the most popular bands in the entire world right now

No, I have heard Iron Maiden before...but did not know the singers name.

so that proves what???

That's the cowbell dude, right?

Mick Jagger, easy choice.

No Expectations
I always thought Ray Davies was a tremendous frontman.

I agree -- way different than Jagger but both share the ability to quip.

What about Sinatra, if we're talking through all genre's. He was the Elvis of pop music.

Most important thing in this thread: Who's that girl next Iggy Pop?!?!

She was (is) hot!

LOL, you said it before me...

Mick, Rod, Plant, Mercury, Bon, and just to throw a bit of gas on the fire... Kind of, eh, like Robbie W. I see Freddie in him.
Oh, and Morrison

Oslo

If Freddy Mercury was still alive...he was the greatest!

+1

Greatest: Elvis Presley for sure.
His body language and movements are most musical and natural too me.
He melts with the music, a nature talent.

Second: Jagger is certainly amongst them.

So this poll assumes that Kurt Cobain is a bitter singer than Mick Jagger, that the dude of Muse, Ronnie James Dio and Bruce Dickinson(AHAH!) are all better singer than Mick Jagger.

Sure

are you seriously trying to say jagger is a better singer than dio or dickinson? that might be the funniest thing i've heard all day

Yes, i'm totally serious.
What's your definition of a great singer? The one who can rich the higher note? someone who have perfect vibrato technic?

Assuming that, anyone from America's Got Talent is a better singer than Mick Jagger or Lou Reed or Jim Morrison or Iggy Pop. Even my singing teacher from my district is.

For me, Bruce Dickinson can park Mick Jagger's car.

thats a pretty ridiculous statement. of course you define who is a better singer by who has a better technique and range. same way you help to figure who is a better athlete by who has better stats. they don't give the gold medal to the guy who came in last just because he was more popular or a crowd favorite. the give the gold to the person who from better training and technique came in first. you are saying jagger is a better singer than guys who practically are singing opera over hard rock which is something jagger could never do. on top of that dio was roughly the same age as jagger and his voice was still solid enough to carry an entire concert without tons of backup singers

Again, no.
Is not a metter of having a better technique or range. Assuming that, like i said, anyone from America's Got Talent is a better singing than Mick Jagger or Lou Reed or Jim Morrison or Iggy Pop.

And is not a matter of being more popular. Assuming that, Britney Spears is a better singer than Wilson Pickett.

Music is another. Being a GREAT and complete singer (meaning the best in the world) is a matter of having a great interpratation capacity, a recognizable and unique voice, a huge sense of melody, and being influential to following singers. Is a matter of leaving your personal contribution to the discipline.

And of course, of having a superior artistic taste.
Singing opera over metal is the trashiest thing humans ever expressed, so thanks God Jagger can't do.


Who is a better painter? Picasso and Van Gogh or anyone who studied at the academy for 10 years, with perfect technic.

Both types of painters can be good. I read somewhere that Van Gogh had much respect for an academic painter like Bouguereau. In my experience, professionally educated musicians generally have more discipline, and that's definitely a big advantage, but not at all decisive for their quality.

Here's my choice :

Agreed.

It's a gray area to a certain extend.
Talent, discipline and creativity are the key words. What you do with it is another matter.

well sorry you don't think dio or dickinson weren't influential or don't have an easily recognizable voice

There´s only one:

anyone who says it is not jagger is a fool

well there is a difference between being a great frontman and being a great singer and in the vocal department jagger is pretty low

Huh? I certainly do NOT define who is a better singer by technique and range. Technique and range are not music, they are tools an artist can bring to bear in making music. What good do technique and range do me if nothing meaningful is conveyed.

Frontmen?

Jagger
Elvis
Bon Scott
Rod
Freddy
Ronnie
and of course... Phil Lynott

this guys have (had) all the rules!

Others

David Lee Roth
Tyler
Iggy

Another "suspicious" list:

[www.digitaldreamdoor.com]

Why respond? It is not even close. Jagger by a million miles.

Iron Maiden is pathetic!

You're right, stupid question, dumb poll. Polls are simply a sampling of the population who vote on a given topic. Every sampling will turn up different result because different individuals are responding. But, yes, MICKSCAREY, you're absolutely right, Mick is the ONE!

The best frontman since Elvis is undoubtedly Jagger. These tabloid polls are piffle. Elvis, James Brown and Jagger - these are frontmen, Axl Rose etc are pretenders who would themselves admit so.

Mick Jagger is not alone in the world, there are many good frontmans equal as Jagger!!

ah...that's not true

isn't it a bit silly to question who the greatest frontman is on a rolling stones messageboard? the answers are rather biased. what's next, who is the greatest road manager? ian stewart, of course!! by a million miles!
