- Freddy Mercury: Do you honestly think anyone else could have pulled off the following songs in quite the same way? Bohemian Rhapsody, We are the Champions, You're My Best Friend, Stone Cold Crazy
- Thom Yorke: I like him and I am a big fan of Radiohead, but I can't put him in the same league Instead I'm putting the following 2...

- Jim Morrison: His charisma alone made The Doors soar into the upper echelon of popularity. They were considered the "dark horse" in an era of free love and Age of Aquarius. Songs like The End, When The Music's Over, and Riders on the Storm: My Lord he was amazing!
- David Gilmour: The Dark Side of the Moon. Need I say more?

1. Love the avatar.

2. I really feel that Roger Waters was a better frontman than Gilmour.

I don't think you can base your opinion somewhere really. I can accept that u may feel Waters was a better vocalist (I prefer Gilmour's singing myself), but he was never the frontman. He may had been the creative mind after Syd left, and he may even had been the leader of the band, but he was never the frontman. Just look at the photos of the band, David is almost always the one stanting on the front, and he was always in the center of the stage at concerts. Even the film "Live At Pompeii" presents him as the frontman during the scenes where they perform.

After Syd, Floyd weren't fronted by anybody. Waters was the man behind the curtains most of the time, but musically, at least up until The Wall, Floyd didn't really have a leader. Anyway.

Preference.

1. Robert Plant
2. Freddie Mercury
3. Peter Gabriel
4. Thom Yorke
5. Jim Morrison
