Oops. I wasn't paying attention. Tell me again what is going on.

[BIGBADZERO]

Bon Scott is Eddie's favorite frontman too.

Great Eddie will be joining him shortly!

[Rebel]

How the hell is Bono #57? Should be top 10 no doubt, maybe top 5.

“Music is art form, and art is subject to individual taste and perceptions.”

This is a classic rock poll.

In my opinion, Bono does not belong in the top 10 of a classic rock frontman list . I have never viewed U2 as a classic rock band.

Just my 2 cents

[EddieFan4Eva]

Freddie Mercury is my pick for #1. A great showman....an incredible voice, and alot of musical talent. Nobody quite like him.

[DaveIsKing]

Freddie Mercury? A fag who ran around in his underwear? :D

Over DAVE?

That's fucked up, man.

[Hecubus]

No fucking way that Morrison's not top 5.

[dave_is_vh]

Where's Graham Bonnet??????????

[horty07]

Vince Neil at 72? Thats fucked up, he should be in the top 15 at least.

[dave_is_vh]

Bono sucks.

[FORD]

Bono definitely does not suck. You can point to a list of rock n roll frontmen who are true originals. Dave's on that list. So's Freddie Mercury, Robert Plant, Mick Jagger. Bono belongs on that same list. Every band that wasn't trying to be Van HALEN in the 80's was trying to be U2. Bands like Coldplay are STILL trying to be U2. And the fact that they're still here, with the same four guys 25 years later, that has to count for something.

[POJO_Risin]

Yeah...I can agree with that FORD...

I'm a U2 fan...and thought the Rock songs on the last album were fantastic...

anyone that went to the Zoo shit...and doesn't think U2 is classic rock...is insane...he should be higher...

And Hec...you nailed that one...Morrison should be five...right behind Roth...

I would then follow up with any of those five in the top five could be interchangable...

and fag or not...Mercury was a frontman...and a showman...

I'm not a big Queen fan...but he certainly belongs top five....

[rustoffa]

*Note to self* No Bono comments.
Those lists are subjective to put it mildly.
I'll give Dave the #1 spot over Freddie.
Bon Scott, Wendy O Williams, Lux Interior, Mick Jagger, Phil Lynott,
Dee Snider, Joan Jett, etc....it's only rock and roll and the list goes
on.
