Top 5 Greatest Frontmen of All-Time (dance, pop, rock, albums)

Mojo · 12-08-2008, 07:13 PM

Iggy Pop
Ozzy Osbourne
Robert Plant
Morrissey
Bruce Dickinson

However Henry Rollins, Mick Jagger and John Lydon were just edged out. And I probably forgot some obvious choices.

I believe you were also talking about Thom Yorke.

Dac, frontman does not mean singer, the jobs are different. The frontman's goal is to get the crowd riled, which is why people like Iggy Pop and James Brown are great frontmen.

1. He was talking about Sigur Ros's frontman
2. Have you ever seen Thom Yorke on stage? He's quite the dancer.

I have to say that when I saw Radiohead, as fantastic as they were, Thom Yorke remained perfectly still and didn't utter a single word.

I know he was talking about Sigur Ros's frontman, but he almost perfectly described Thom Yorke's stage behavior since they've released all these electronic albums.

He must have been depressed cause he found out you two were in the audience. He was incredibly energetic and spirited in Cleveland this past summer. His dance to 'The Gloaming' was priceless.
