Who are your top 5 front men, heres mine: 1. Feddie Mercury 2. David Lee Roth 3. Mick Jagger 4. Steve Perry 5. Anthony Kiedis
So much of this depends upon how you define a front man. There are Bands (the Stones, Zep, U2, Queen, etc.), and then there are Artists with Kick *** Bands (Springsteen & the E Street Band, Dylan & the Hawks, Petty & the Heartbreakers, etc). For my money the guys who best controlled everything on the stage & commanded your attention for every second of the show are: Springsteen The Glimmer Twins Prince Mercury Bono
Perfect front man pulls lots of ***, and not the male variety. Freddy Mercury is disqualified. Instead give me guys like David Lee Roth, Jim Morrison, Robert Plant, Vince Neil, Bon Jovi, Mick Jagger, Roger Daltry, etc.
1) Mick Jagger 2) Jim Morrison 3) Springsteen 4) Bono (equal with Springsteen IMO) 5) David Lee Roth Dylan as great as he is, doesn't fit into the genre as I see it, as you don't come out pumped up after seeing them play which is how you feel physically after seeing all of the above perform. Probalby have Jim Morrison overrated because of his early demise.
Steve Walsh Darryl Hall Peter Wolf They may not have been part of any mega-legendary bands like Zepplin or The Who or U2 or whatever, but none the less three of the most entertaining front men ever
