Good list, but I would replace Marilyn Manson with Charles Manson. The guy was so good people literally dropped dead around him.

Lotta similarities here, 2dogs.. It's almost like were brothers or something.

1. Freddie Mercury (Queen, Solo)
Can words even describe how epic everything Mercury did was? Embodying wholly the sheer excess of the 70s and 80s, there will never be a frontman as great as he.

2. Bono (U2)
One can dispute this choice as much as he wants, but unless you saw a ZooTV show, you have to see it to believe it.

3. James Brown
Get up

4. Joe Strummer (The Clash, Joe Strummer and The Mescaleros)
Fronting the greatest punk band ever is a big task, and one that required the coolest guy of all time to do it. Joe Strummer, the Man.

5. Robert Plant
Being the singer in a band means that you usually get all the attention. Getting attention as a member of Led Zeppelin required extreme charisma and presence, as the rest of the members were just so charismatic and larger than life. Plant did this perfectly, managing to shine despite the talent and presence of John and Jimmy in particular.

Bono over Robert Plant? Are you kidding me? That's ridiculous. You'll have to excuse me but I just watched Song remains the same, I'm a little biased. Sorry. But seriously? It's not too late to take it back you know?

Or lovers. Or both.

As for frontmen - sure, they're a crucial part of their bands blah blah blah, but a lot of them are just ****y sons of bitches to me. Even in unknown, local bands around here.
