50 FINEST FRONT MEN AND WOMEN

http://www.udiscovermusic.com/50-finest-front-men-women

We thought we’d have some end of year fun with a list of the finest front men, and women, in rock history. As regular readers will know this is not the first list we’ve put together, and every one previously has caused a good deal of controversy. While there is always some subjectivity to these lists we have done our best to come up with a democratic top 50. We have trawled the internet and come up with our list, based on nearly two dozen other lists that have been compiled by radio stations, magazines, and other reputable sources.

As always we’d love to hear from you as to what you think about the list, who we may have missed and who you perhaps think shouldn’t have made the list at all. We are dusting off our hard hats and flak jackets!

What a joke. I've seen Nick Cave several times and he is no "frontman." Neither is that buttfucker Morrissey. Dave Gahan just loves to shake his ass and sweat his drugs on to the audience. Tom Petty? Really? The man is so arthritic he needs a orthopedic microphone.

The only thing that really shocks me about that list is that Rotten was in the top 5.

[vandeleur]

orthopedic microphone.

hahaha

. Tom Petty? Really? The man is so arthritic he needs a orthopedic microphone.

For the record, I've seen Tom Petty at the Gorge several times, and he still puts on a great live show... but the quote just fit this song.

I thought the same thing, Rotten 4??

[DONNIEP]

Bono and Cobain - two sides of a coin drenched in gayness and covered in doo doo. Why the hell does everybody think Cobain was so great? Filthy hippy. Everybody acts like the guy invented fire...

Gotta agree with Freddie getting the number one spot. Greatest front man that ever lived.

[vandeleur]

Greatest front man that ever lived.
