The Bunnymen probably take that title. Of groups on the list, anyhow. When I saw Ian, back in '84, it was a bottle of beer in one hand, a smoke in the other, and the microphone perched in the middle. He was set for the night.
I don't think anyone will go with bernard, but his anti-frontman thing was kind of the point, he was a neutral force which the music could wrap itself around.
