    For good old Rock N Roll and classic rock, id have to say Freddie Murcury. Excellent singer, great showmanship and a real talent for getting the crowd going.

    For metal, id have to say Bruce Dickinson (brilliant singer and great with the crowd. "Scream For Me Dublin!") or Phil Anselmo (unbeleivable energy).

    Rock On Teh Frontmenz0rs!

    At the risk of sounding mainstreamy, surely Keidis deserves a mention. Or at least an arguement.

    And Cobain. Someone had to say it.

    Ok, who is the best frontman of all time? Jagger? Mercury? Rose? Daltery? Plant? Place your bets now please.

    None of the above.

    Bono is the best frontman of all time.

    God of what? 'just for men' hair dye & pseudo west coast American accents? Sorry, he's not outrageous enough frontaman material, IMHO.

    It never ceases to amaze me how much bono is ignored in these conversations. When he's dead he'll be an automatic 'given' for everyone talking about said topic. It's no accident that U2 are still able to sell 170k tickets in less than an hour IN IRELAND.

    The best frontman of all time is prob and almost definetely in my opinion Jay K from jamouriquai.

    Hear me out. Front man as in performance, the man can dance better than any metaler! He can also sing like james brown but unlike james brown he writes all the music and he owns a ferrari, lambourgini and a ford GTO (the fastest production car in the world except the maclaren F1 but that isnt produced anymore so its now the fastest).

    Point proven, the finished article and while there are others who are better writers, players, singers etc you cant say ogh John lennon because he wasnt a front man. The beatles were a band with "two leaders" i.e. lennon and mccartney!!

    What exactly does any of that have to do with being a frontman?

    Some front men are dry ****s, hence for someone to be the best front man ver they must be more than just the music other wise it could be computer simulated. Personality!!!!

    Of course it is, but it is not the sole reason that such a feat was possible. I was implying that the fact that u2 put on a great show is the main reason this happened, and needless to say, bono is the main catalist in creating the amazing live atmosphere and show.

    I'd say Prince. He dances better than any front man I've ever seen. Plays all instruments exceptionally well. Gets the crowd going big time... he even gets the crowd up onstage and dances with them.

    Honourable mentions to Freddy Mercury, Jim Morrison and Elvis.

    Despite your mocking, I'll have to agree with 'The Jock', Glen Hansard is a good front man. He has lots of charisma and is able to work the crowd. I still wouldn't rate him as high as Freddie Mercury or Bono though.
