[DrMaddVibe]

Plant

Morrison...Mojo Risin....

[Panamark]

DR, make another pick, this is living dudes..

(Agree on Plant !)

[ALMOSTsaved]

Steven Tyler

Ozzy

[moose]

Roth
Roth
Roth
Roth
Oh did I forget to mention Roth!!!!!!!!!
Of todays great frontmen that are still alive I believe that none can compare to their yunger yrs, Roth on the other hand can still create an atmosphere that resembles the good old days, minus the huge splits off the drum riser. Therefore my choice of five consists only of one man...THE Toast Master General"

Who says Jim Morrison is dead?

DLR7884
It's debatable.

[Carmine]

Roth
Ozzy
Plant
Jagger
Tyler


same as the rest of ya....

[moose]

So if I really had to pick 5 it would be as follows
DDLR
Klaus Meine
Plant
Mick
Daltry

[Hardrock69]

1. Dave.
2. Mick.
3. Plant
4. Gillan
5. Halford
6. Daltrey
7. Ozzy
8. Tyler
9. Dio


Yeah so I posted 9. These guys all fit into the "Living" and "Legend" category.

By the way, you guys realize that Dio has been releasing records since 1958?????
In 3 more years, he will have been a rock vocalist for 50 FUCKING YEARS!!!

That's why I stated "Mojo Risin'".

According to popular myth, Jim has stated that if he was to fake his death he'd go to Madagascar.

It was just a joke.

[Wayne L.]

Mick Jagger
Roger Daltrey
Robert Plant
Steven Tyler
David Lee Roth

[smaz]

DLR... Obviously
Roger Daltry
Alice Cooper
Ozzy

And someone else :)

[academic punk]

No James Hetfield?

If the reason "no" is b/c in some ways Lars is the frontman, the Robert Plant shouldn't be on there, since in some ways Jimmy was the frontman. And Daltrey shouldn't be on anyone's list, period. He may have been the singer, but Townsend was the frontman.

Aside from Dave, Freddie Mercury was the best. Never saw Queen live, wasn't even particularly a fan, but all the footage I ever saw (including Live Aid) that guy knew how to work a crowd and put on a show.

[BrownSound1]

Roth
Plant
Jagger
Big Jim Dandy

[DrMaddVibe]

Hetfield couldn't hack carrying the balls of ANY of the people mentioned in this thread.

He's a drunk fuck like EdWad that pissed away any greatness he once could've had by living in a bottle. Those 2 wrote the fucking book on how to alienate a fanbase!

I agree re: alienating the fanbase, but there's no question of the man's charisma in front of an audience.

One of the best rock photos of all time is the one where he's on stage and there's ten thousand arms up in there saluting him. (can anyone post that?)

[DrMaddVibe]

Here is the best rock photo...

[academic punk]

It is indeed one of the greats.

[Jack68]

1.Daltrey

3.Roth
4.Jagger
5.Halford

[Soul Reaper]

Does anyone think Bono should be in this 'living legend frontmen' category?

[CROWBAR]

No, Bono uses his band as, more or less his own political views, therefore, rendering U2 as shiite!

So did THE WHO, Hendrix, CSNY, Lennon, and countless others.

He follows in a great tradition of rock LEGENDS.

Lately their music is not political at all. I like that he separates his band's music from his politics these days.

It's not a bad thing that he puts his celebrity to good use instead of jumping on the reality show bandwagon. Ozzy and Vince lose points there in the credibility dept.

[pete]

I would also add that many people her do not like me from what they know of me but, they like the music I have made.

That's OK. I don't take myself too seriously anyway.

The music I make I treat sacredly. It's better than me.

I think U2 approach their music in a similar way. You may not like it but, try to justify that it sucks. It's the real deal in where it comes from. It's more ambitious than DIO, Ozzy, and Vince. That's for sure. I percieve that stagnance equals integrity to some here.

Growth is the sign of a true artist IMO.

There is growth musically in U2 whether they lose fans or not. the progression of what they do musically is obvious whether it's panned or not.

The music is important to them.

whether you like it or not.

U2 is the biggest band since the Beatles.


There is sincerity to their music and that is why they are huge. Even the bleating, sheep-like masses pick up on it.

Not because they write music on par with Brittany Spears. Their shit is real. It's rock n roll.

Not like DIO is (isn't) rock n roll.

Like the greats. The stones, beatles and who AND VAN HALEN. they write songs in the tradition that, even if you dont know the song, whether you hear a drum beat, or a guitar chord you know it's them.

they deserve the respect they get.

[tydhurst]

Ringo Starr (Fuck you all, i love him!)
Steven Tyler (he's still got it!)
Robert Plant (So swish!)
Bono (i hate U2, but he does get a crowd going)
and of course...

DAVID LEE ROTH (Why? Because!)

[Atomic_Rob]

David Lee Roth
Ian Gillan
Roger Daltrey
Robert Plant
Mick Jagger
