Paul Rogers never gets the billing some of the other guys do but to me he's one of the best rock and roll frontmen ever.

 

[Hardline]

Robert Plant
Stevie Nicks

Englebert Humperdinck?? Are you sure?? .

I took a cougar to see Engelbert about 10 years... the ladies in the audience were still “dropping their draws”.


Humperdinck stays in the list!

MY personal favorite: Kurt Cobain

Frank Sinatra

I been listening to old AC/DC and INXS lately. Who's the better frontman?

Michael Hutchence or Bon Scott? No question Hutchence had the better voice but who was the better overall performer/frontman?

Probably the two best in Australian history. They got the two best selling records ever there i believe.

I'd like to amend my previous entry with this: Phil Anselmo

Bon Scott easily.

A thread about frontmen and no mention of probably the greatest band leader James Brown.

many have emulated his style and band leader on stage mannerisms and rules.

Bruce Springsteen, Prince and many others.

The following is a list of those that have personally affected me that haven't been listed so far I believe...

• James Hetfield
• Tom Araya
• Ozzy Ozborne
• Stevie Ray Vaughn
• Joe Bonamassa
• Kenny Wayne Shepherd
• Taylor Momsen
• Ric Ocasek
• Joan Jett
• Stevie Nicks
• Samatha Fish
• Whitney Houston
• Madonna
• Janis Joplin
• Steven Tyler
• Phil Collins
• Willie Nelson
• Don Henley
• Wilson Pickett
• Axl Rose
• Rod Stewart
• Kurt Cobain
• Chuck Berry
• Prince
• Michael Jackson
• David Bowie
• Etta James
• Tina Turner
• Robert Plant (was he already listed?)
• Stevie Wonder
• Joe Elliot
• Joey Belladonna
• Chris Cornell
• Layne Staley
• Scott Weiland
• Billy Gibbons

I'm sure there are a few I'm missing, but these are AWESOME.

Wow, nice list. Surprised to see Etta James on there and I completely agree. Also Willie, I've seen him several times and he never gets old (no pun intended). He's not always on his A game but there's just somehting about seeing him up there singing some of the most iconic songs of country music as he strums away on Trigger. He's also done several fantastic duos covering all genres of music. Unfortunately his days are numbered (but I've been saying that for years) so if anyone gets a chance to see him don't miss it.
