    It's terrible isn't it?!

    Bruce Springsteen is better than Bono and should have been in the top 5 at least.

    Where's Meat Loaf?

    Even Mike Scott should be there...

    Jagger should have been much further up, as should the Boss.

    WTF is Matt Bellamy doing on that poll?

    What an awful, awful list.

    He's there just way down the list. Disgraceful.

    "Gallagher was placed first in a list of greats compiled from thousands of readers of Q magazine."

    Oh god. Why am I not surprised.
    Q is a terrible publication. Oasis win every award that they give out, despite not even being musically relevant anymore.

    To be fair,it was voted for by readers of the magazine....

    Thats the thing though, the magazine has such a pro-Gallagher bias that the majority of its readerbase can only be Oasis fans. Or Coldplay fans.

    No mention for Kurt Cobain? Granted he wasn't the greatest singer, or even guitarist of all time but he was still a freakin awesome frontman. He represented what Nirvana stood for, a true legend

    Stupid list: Bono #2, Robbie Williams #11?? But it's what I'd expect from Q these days...

    To try and turn the thread a bit more positive maybe we could just give our own top 5 or 10.

    In no particular order:

    W. Axl Rose - Guns n Roses
    Bob Marley - Bob Marely and the Wailers
    Phil Lynott - Thin Lizzy
    Lou Reed - The Velvet Underground
    Kurt Cobain - Nirvana
    Freddie Mercury - Queen
    Eddie Vedder - Pearl Jam
    Jimi Hendrix - Jimi Hendrix Experience
    Steven Tyler - Aerosmith
    Zach de la Rocha - Rage Against the Machine

    Chosen not because they were my favourite bands or singers (although some of them were) but because the were the perfect representative for their bands and what (if anything) they stood for. None of the bands could have possibly existed without them, which isn't the case with all bands, that's the definition of a good frontman in my opinion.

    So many others are far more deserving of this!

    -Jim Morrison
    -Robert Plant
    -Ozzy Osbourne
    -James Hetfield
    -Rob Halford
    -Bruce Dickinson
    -Bon Scott
    -Brian Johnson
    -David Lee Roth
    -Axl Rose
    -Vince Neil

    Worst poll ive seen in a long long time..

    1) Liam Gallagher

    2) Bono

    3) Freddie Mercury

    If Freddie isnt at no.1 the whole poll is invalid. And my god, Liam Gallagher at no.1 makes me die a little inside.

    Actually I'd have said that too before I saw him at Slane a few years ago. I actually went up to see Stereophonics but Robbie stole the show, he was absolutely magnificent. I would be into the metal/rock variety of music but honest to god he was amazing.

    Elvis Presley, Axl Rose, Eddie Vedder and Prince are all missing from the top of that list. I wonder what their qualifications are for best frontman in that list. To stand still straining your neck into a microphone stand that's too high for you?

    Wasnt Elvis like a solo artist. Not sure if he is a front man as such.
