[titanguy3]

and scott stapp!!!!

[paws skags]

fred durst is the coolest frontman...anydj you suck.

your a ***ing idot

[NiRvanAcobain]

this sucks. Axl Rose is just a screaming bitch. Kurt Cobain should of made the top 3.

[ahdokboy]

And please tell me Fred Durst was a joke.

fred durst is the coolest frontman...anydj you suck.

[fatherlaffypant]

worst list ive ever read

[AnyDJ]

For all you asking about Cobain...CLASSIC ROCK. Early 90's is not classic yet. Same goes for BJ from Green Day. And please tell me Fred Durst was a joke.

[Sum1]

great list except...

WHERE THE HELL IS JAMES HETFIELD

[Mus-guar]

WhiteKnight123:
I think Angus should be there, at least under notable, Brian Johnson is good but not that good of a front man, and wheres avril LAvine?

I just noticed this...you better not be talking about Angus Young...whos stupid enough to think he was the lead singer of AC/DC? plus, you guys are forgeting Nikki Sixx...or what about Joe Elliot? or maybe the guy from Blue Oyster Cult, whatever his name is I forget....

[Psykotik]

Real frontman, Fred Durst????? come on...

[praise2hendrix]

wheres mick?

[corey182__]

Bon was good, but not the best..pretty fair lookin list tho

[_PrIsOnSeX_]

I think the list is ok, expect for the Bon Scott being N.1, more people knw Angus than Bon, I didn't even know that was his name... since it's for Classic rock, I understand why Kurt Cobain is not there, and why is another memeber of AC/DC on the list..??32. Brian Johnson (Ac/Dc).. what the f-ck?? without the AC/DC shit, it's a fair list...

[PunkStarEM906]

also kurt cobain

[firenze, NY]

I truly hate rock lists. They always disappoint me and no one is ever satisfied with the final result. By the way, where the *** was Mick Jagger?

[Mike_uk2k]

good list, pretty fair. iron maiden owns all, hehe.

[jimmythehand]

wheres justin hawkins??? haha joke. bit pissed off axl is in there tho. hes a twat. james hetfields a good one he should be higher.

[MrMojoRisin]

Ah I love Janis and everything but is Janis a a front"man" lol she may not be the most attractive thing but she is a woman right lol

[jimmythehand]

oh n i think i shud be on there too. as well as BEN MORRIS!!! WOOHOO WELLY ROAD 2004!!!!

[patriot_73]

AND WHERE'S JAMES?!?!?!??!?!!!!.... I mean, never did anyone electrify energy in a crowd like James did back in the early 90's....

[patriot_73]

Axl Rose does not at all deserve a better place than James... (Hetfield that is)...

[bucky_2300]

Where's Kurt Cobain or Jello Biafra? What kind of lame arse list is this?

[WhiteKnight123]

I think Angus should be there, at least under notable, Brian Johnson is good but not that good of a front man, and wheres avril LAvine?

Joking

[Torn]

Don't exactly agree with Bon Scott being at the top... but whatever.

[gibsonsdh]

It is hard to make a article up like that. Your going to screw up or forget somebody.

[yertletheturtle]

Concured, except about Morrison. he should have been in Lynott's place.

[g_allmighty11]

pretty accurate, good job on the list

[justinscatsuit]

Bon Scott topped the list how?
*makes her own list with Robert Plant at number 1*
i think Phil Lynott deserved a higher place too

[Nacho2006]

oh, and billy jo armstrong, or allice cooper.

[justinscatsuit]

billy jo armstrong? *laughs*
i'm not surprised he's not there.. he could hardly compete with the likes Robert Plant, Freddie Mercury and Dave Lee Roth could he?

[justinscatsuit]

patriot_73:
Axl Rose does not at all deserve a better place than James... (Hetfield that is)...

^ to be fair, axl was good in guns n roses... the chemistry of that band was phenomenal, but yes i agree James Hetfield should have been higher

[metallicarulz89]

hmmm its an AC/DC fansite that made this list and it juts so happened that Bon Scott was #1, im not saying that hes not good or anything but this list isnt the best

[Lil_poot]

yea i agree curt kobain should be in there

and whats up with stevin tyler??he's to ugly to be there
STEVIN TYLER YOUR JUS PLAIN OLD UGLY

[Hendrix4ever]

of course cobain

[Hendrix4ever]

without curt nirvana wouldnt have done anything

[mark276]

In my list, Robert Plant would be number one and Rod Stewart would be in the top five. Laugh all you want, but then consider this. Before The Jeff Beck Group came out with Truth in 1968, name a band that featured a dynamic singer and a flashy lead guitarist. Since then there have been countless bands of the kind (Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, G'nR, every hair metal band), but the originals were Rod Stewart and Jeff Beck. And oh yeah, his voice is amazing.

[Whstripesrox]

i can think of alot of other people you should be higher

[mark276]

And I just noticed...where is Mick Jaggar? There is no reason why he shouldn't be in the top five.

[wonderboy47]

Hendrix4ever:
without curt nirvana wouldnt have done anything

And you believe that that merits a higher spot on the list? HA.

[RageOfMike328]

*** that Robert Plant is by far the greatest front man ever. period.

[Jesusdude89]

ewww... Freddie Mercury...

[MadFaDa]

i think David Lee Roth and Steven Tyler shud be a BIT higher, ELVIS was a frontman he INVENTED rock n Fukin Roll
other wise good list
HAIL RONNIE JAMES DIO!!!!
*Ronnie MadFaDa*

[homerjaysimpson]

i agree with mark276!
where is mick :

[Quel_Thezal]

I think Eddie Vedder should have been in there somewhere...

[Encore_God]

ewww... Freddie Mercury...

Give me a ***ing break, Freddie Mercury was the greatest front man to ever grace the earth.

[WrappedInCold]

if you think about it, there really is no lead man in metallica...you got kirk hammet doing solos whike hetfield and ulrich are clawing at each other throats on whos the better songwriter

[mojo_mattv]

that a pretty good list

[Laser]

Rovert Plan was the frontman of led zeppelin?! Psh... And since when was David Lee Roth the frontman of a band named after the guitarist, that list is much to partial to those singers, Bullshit

[Fenix-54]

suprised Kurt Cobain not in there. i'm not a big fan of him, but he's so ***ing big.

[dabonehead182]

How could they forget Kurt Cobain. He's like a frickin legend. I agree though on Bon Scott and Jim Morrison R.I.P for both. Also what about Sid Vicious, Zack De la Rocha, Dave Mustaine, or Anthony Kedis.

[Jhon_césar_]

WHere is kurt cobaiN?????????

[dotheevolution_]

This was in a Classic Rock Magazine you retards, that's why there is no Cobain or punk icons. Elvis should of been up there, that boy was bad in his day.

[six string king]

ZACH DE LA ROCHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[DoobieBrother]

Morrison should have been much higher, and where's John Fogerty, Steve Miller and Bono?

[saars5arania]

Pretty good list. Missing a few people, but still pretty fair.

[omega5]

Kurt Cobain,Mick Jagger, Marilyn Manson,and Paul Stanley

[Bustedstuff880]

lol good observation dotheevolution but mick should be there and wheres the rest of this list

[60shout]

1: Robert Plant
2: Ozzy
3: John Lennon

and cobain would be there somewhere

[realiztik]

AXL ROSE?! What a f*cking joke! Houw about the worst front man ever. He's a laughing stock. Slash and McDuff or whatever his name is could totally attest to that.

[LuisFM]

hmmm, missin' hetfield, mustaine, vedder, cobain, cavalera... shity list i would say...

[metaljunkie22]

ozzy should be at least number 3

[Got Chains?]

It's Classic rock, that's why there no Cobain or Hetfield.

Jim morrison didn't make the list?

Bon scott number one?

Put it all together You've got instant BULLSHIT.

Bon scott was good, but not number one.

Morrison should be VERY high.

Plant should be number one.
As muc has Axl rose is an asshole, he's amazing at what he does.

[realiztik]

I think there is no one better than the might Hetfield. He is the greatest frontman is history. IMO

[Psykotik]

Ozzy's the best

[NUBIENLOC76]

janis had bigger balls than most of the men on the list

[omega5]

yeah where is Hendrix?

[NUBIENLOC76]

RIGHT WHAT HAPPEND TO HENDRIX

[numnuts]

thats a good top 10 this magizine knows what its talking about, unlike rolling stone. who els saw rolling stone's 100 greatest guitarists? terrible

[The_zEPPELINS]

Robert Plant should have been #1. what the hell happened to hendrix, that man should have been #2

[Crux]

Okay Hendrix and Morrison should have had the top of the list.

[DR132]

ok all lists like this are going to be missing people, but aside for the people it missed it's pretty accurate

[BrofUJu]

WHERE IS JAMES! HE SHOULD BE TOP 3 DAMMIT! (Good to see Iron Maiden)

[micha]

Dudes, the singer is THE frontman, singer/guitar/bass players should not be included, only cats who sing and dance in FRONT of the band. The top ten is this:

Robert Plant
Mick Jagger
Bon Scott
Jim Morrison
Freddie Mercury
Axl Rose
Steven Tyler
David Lee Roth
Johnny Rotten
David Bowie

Honorable mentions go to Iggy Pop(for his ability to piss off just about anyone and everyone) and Scott Weiland(for his uncanny ability to blend charisma and melody into an untouchable vocal style)

[micha]

Not to mention Perry Farrell, Marilyn Manson, Shannon Hoon, Joey Ramone, Bono, or Vince Neil

[estranged_2003]

axl is a great front man but scott no1 quite rite!rock and roll aint noise pollution rock and roll aint going to die! ac/dc the best band ever!

[biohazardous56]

wheres clapton????????????????

[futurelegend546]

what about paul mcCartney but i guess thats pop and ***ing Hetfield, hendrix come on

[Death Of Season]

pretty good list, but hetfield should definetly be there and maynard should probly be on there somewhere too.

[Death Of Season]

^cuz tool and apc kick major ass.

[sithian476]

^ agreed.

but lets not forget, the site is a AC/DC fansite lol

[thimsen]

ac/dc fansite made the vote??? come on...
my top 3 would be

1. james - metallica
2. axl rose - gnr
3. kurt cobain - nirvana

anyway, its what i think...

[Dr.Metal]

where's James Hetfield and Kurt Cobain???????

[csamgo]

so i have a ?.....were is KURT COBAIN....the ***in savoir of all things that are holy in music and he doesn't make the list....thats bull shit.....*** axl rose

[sensesfail1878]

ewww... Freddie Mercury...

freddie was was the most original and was THE MOST talented frontman of all time.

[pagegilmourgods]

ronnie james dio should be at least above 50 on the list...he has been the frontman for bands since the 1950's and has such an awesome voice

[estranged_2003]

cobain was a average song writer avarage guitar player and a average singer in a average band why would he be up there with the rock and roll greats?

[estranged_2003]

who would u take of the list and put cobain in?nobody!

[shreddgod]

To the guy who said elvis invented rock n roll, Little Richard invented rock n roll!!!! elvis just stole it and turned it into something white people could do!!!

As for the list, Axl rose deserves to be on the "worst frontmen ever" considering it was him who drove the other band members away and destroyed the "good" guns n roses....

Where the HELL is DAVE MUSTAINE!??

Heres my own top five:

1. Ozzy Osbourne
2. Robert Plant
3. Jim Morrison
4.Freddie Mercury
5. David Lee Roth...

i picked ozzy as number one because of all the crazy shit he's done and the fact that he was in TWO amazing bands, (one which invented heavy metal) and continues to rock and continues to have superstar status, unlike robert plant, whos solo career sucked, and bon scott, WHO IS DEAD!

Sure I believe that james hetfield should be on that list, definately in the top ten, but not the top five, he is great and everything but people will always remember my top five more than everything....and JAMES AND DAVE MUSTAINE ARE THE BEST RYTHM GUITARISTS IN THE BUSINESS!!!

someone said Malcolm young from ac/dc was the best rythm guitarist, I laughed and asked them if they've ever heard Dave play...

MY TOP FIVE IS BETTER!

kurt nobrain was shit by the way, he doesn't compare to anyone within the top ten....

Glad to see the OVERBLOWN AND OVERATED BEATLES didn't make it into the top ten, ugh they are annoying....

-shreddie

[gibsonsdh]

Where the heck is John Lennon.

[ILIKEMUSICALOT]

Yeah, Cobain wasn't that great, he played average talented music like bands of today. Just cause he died, he became famous. I believe Jimi Hendrix said something related to that. That when you die, you have finally made it. I can't remember the exact words. None of these legend bands wouldn't be legends if they weren't dead or broken up. Thanks Jimi.

[God of Thunder]

Thats actually a fair list, unlike greatest riffs of all time.

[kornunit7]

YHEA! Bon sCOTT!

[Dave_Grohl]

wheres dave, but oh well. go angry anderson!!

[Dave_Grohl]

where's kurt?
wheres jaymz?

[razorkiss]

Where's Kurt Cobain or Jello Biafra? What kind of lame arse list is this?

damn right!

[jasonbecker]

pretty nice list they have their.

what is bon scott doing at the top??!!! i'd say dave lee roth, axl and ozzy all own him by far.

[janecoffin27]

Fuck Kurt Cobain, it's good he's not here.

Bruce kicks ass (should be higher than Axl) and Ozzy, but where's Ronnie James Dio?

[fender rocker16]

OZZY!!!

[miKE13]

well i have not much to say obviosly the ppl who made this list are old and like classic rock which i have nothin agianst there are some great singer/songwrittersin the list so its cool

nothin against metalica but hetfield isnt a good front man i mean without ***en kirks solos and shit metalica would not be that great

well if i had to choose id put real front man like zack de la rocha or chino moreno or fred durst
jonathan davis

because of them the bands they are in are kickass
and they all have some ***en crazy fuken energy to get the crowd goin sure ppl might disagree but its all about the live shows and ppl like these make live shows an unforgetable expierience

ofcourse like i said nothin against the list perhaps mercury should ve been one but hey and i fuken hate ozzy that fuker is just fuken stupid thats y hes famouse like curt because he died yeh so fuk u all too if u dont like me bite me

[PunkStarEM906]

hendrix should be on there and robert plant should be higher up there

[fender rocker16]

oh and what about anthony kedis? hes a flamer and all but the peppers own and he has done some funny ***ed up shit.

[CS91253]

wtf, robert plant higher than david lee roth? bullshit 110%

[metallicmaniac]

where's hendrix???

[GLethal85]

where the *** is hetfield?????

[doofy_man]

where is james hetfield?!?!?! metallica rocks \m/

[hololos]

^^ Ditto, seriously, where are the 'real' frontmans? Bon Scott on the top...hmmm

[uragooch33]

freddy should have been #one and what about ted nugent!

[BobTheBuilder07]

Personally I wouldn't classify Roger Daltrey as the frontman for The Who, but thats just me...(glad to see him on the list anyway)

[jamesrivera]

Axl Rose and Freddie Mercury are both great frontmen. I would say that The list is pretty fair, but Kurt Cobain is always given far too much credit.

[XNiRvAnAX]

actually is wasnt the acdc site that made the list if you read it properly it said uks classic rock magazine

[Cyborg]

I Wonder where Anthony Kiedis of the chili peppers was?

[Ashutosh]

where the hell is James Hetfield????

[bucketheadshead]

like him or not, Axl Rose was a great and influential frontman, yall would not still be talking about him if he wasnt

[SeeinYellow]

R.I.P Bon Scott

[bucketheadshead]

btw, i hope Mick Jagger and Scott Weiland are on there somewhere

[koreazz7]

WHERE THE FUCK IS MR JIMI HENDRIX? HENDRIX REVOLUTIONIZED ALL THE GUITAR HUMPING, GUITAR BEHIND BACK SOLOS AND GUITAR BASHINGS ON STAGE

[thejester]

i agree bucketheadshead about mick jagger but not for scott weiland. please dont all make fun of me but how about the lead singer from RHCP. and maybe zach de la rocha

[The Jin]

yay dickenson

[JimmyVanHendrix]

pretty good list

R.I.P Bon Scott

ride on buddy...

[The Jin]

Steve needs a paper mask

[JimmyVanHendrix]

And by the way, for all you dumbasses out there, there are two ac/dc members on the list because Bon Scott died and was replaced by Brian Johnson.

[JimmyVanHendrix]

metallicarulz89:
hmmm its an AC/DC fansite that made this list and it juts so happened that Bon Scott was #1, im not saying that hes not good or anything but this list isnt the best

Dude...you ***ing moron...Classic rock magazine did the poll. It was on an AC/DC fan site because Bon Scott topped the list.....duh

[UJ_boy]

God. Hendrix and cobain should have been at the top of that list. T'is taking the piss!

[Cookie_master]

Jamez Hetfield?????

[cannonball_900]

From Ahdokboy
'Fred durst is the coolest frontman'

and like you've got the smallest cock on earth..

dammit James hetfield shoulda made the list..but guess those guys arent as outdated yet..
this list shoulda been more updated

[battleofla]

But james hetfield really don't deserve to be top, considering hes a twat:|

[novemberlima]

***in stupid list.

[redwing_suck]

any more cries for cobain will be deleted, end of story. it will take me an hour at least to get rid of all the spammish, whiny posts about cobain that have no value for the article. some do, but most others have no purpose.

bah.

[muffin_man69]

James Hetfield should be in the top 5 easy

[strigoi_vii]

.

[r_lightning]

this list sucks! where the heck is metallicas James HETFIELD?!?! James has influenced a lots of other greats frontmens, so he should be on this least! like muffin_man69 sayss: "James Hetfield should be in top 5easy. And Axl Rose dont deserve to be on the list.. puh

[luka krolo]

you are bunch of idiots. james hetfield doesnt deserve to be top 50. axl is god this list is not bad

[xconaxm44]

You fools.

#1. Hetfield's gay.
#2. The list was published by a CLASSIC ROCK magazine. Metallica is not classic, therefore, not on the list.

[luka krolo]

and you r lighting you are more idiot than anyone what influenced are you talking about he didnt influence anyone like a frontman, maybe like guitar player

[down_in_a_hole]

where the hell is Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley and James Hetfield? why the hell is Axl Rose in there? such a bad list!

[furthernotice]

anyone who bashes Kurt Cobain is an idiot. I hope I could transport you to 1992 where Kurt was more powerful than the president.

WHERE IS KURT COBAIN?!?!?!?

[RatiugLink]

SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT KURT COBAIN!! WE KNOW HE ISN'T IN THERE!!

At least 20 people have said "Where is Kurt Cobain?" and it's getting redundant. He isn't in there because
1) this was taken from a classic rock magazine
2) he is highly overrated (I like him, but face it: he isn't a guitar god, or an amazing singer)

dabonehead182:

"How could they forget Kurt Cobain. He's like a frickin legend. I agree though on Bon Scott and Jim Morrison R.I.P for both. Also what about Sid Vicious, Zack De la Rocha, Dave Mustaine, or Anthony Kedis."

My main point about the above post (besides that it has yet ANOTHER Cobain rant) is that Sid Vicious was crap. Why would he of all people be up there?

[RatiugLink]

And why the hell do people keep saying Marilyn Manson should be up there?!

[Paulo]

Bon Scott a better frontman the David Lee Roth. Come on that's just stupid

[Teq]

James Hetfield is missing :-(

[allwithinmyhand]

Where is james hetfield, dave mustaine and for FUCKS SAKE WHERE THE HELL IS MAYNARD JAMES KEENAN!

[VanishedRocker]

Liam FOOKING Gallagher ......

[AusFender911]

^YES! maybe not number one, but definetly top 5 material.

Jim Morrison
Robert Plant
Jimi Hendrix
Axl Rose
Liam Gallagher

This is the list u sluts, and u idiot twats out there who keep going on about Cobain, he sucks the big dick. Totally crap at guitar, and not that great a voice, The coolest thing he ever did was bring grunge mainstream, then kill himself

[da_loyde]

wtf jim morrison is the top of my list he is ***ign god

[AlreadyTooLate]

Cobain...Hendrix they need cobain and hendrix

[Klown]

HENDRIX

[LastoBethLammen]

I miss James and Bonn scot pls lower and Ozzy ofcourse higher !! Very much Rock bands are inspired by his music

[LastoBethLammen]

yeah and by the way i miss hendrix !!!

[grunge_god]

it's from an AC/DC fan Site so no wonder ACDC tops the list. lame and biased list. FUCK U AXL. AND ALL U LIAM GAY GALLAGHER LOVERS. You cocksuckers!!

[DoobieBrother]

Oh and where the *** is Mick Jagger?!

[gurpreet]

whoze jim morrison.. sorry.. but i honestly am cluesless. n dont ge me some lame bullshit bout wat a lamer i am thank u..

[battleofla]

PEOPLE GET IT IN YOUR HEADS

C-L-A-S-S-I-C R-O-C-K

not grunge, not modern, not pop, not shit (as in hetfield ) but rock

point made!

[revolution]

wheres Liam Gallagher? to be fair he can be a pain in the arse but at least hes rock n roll

[strychnine_slut]

Kurt wasn't on the list because of the CLASSIC ROCK thing going on... I highly doubt Liam Gallagher is classic rock either.

[Butters]

I'd say that's a pretty fair list, in terms of great front men it works well, Axl in his hey day more than deserves that position but now he's become a bit of a fat twat, kurt cobain should sure as hell not be in there and i'm so glad he's not but yeah good list

[13JimmyPage13]

for all of u idiots asking where curt koban is he made nervaina well thats bullshit he didnt make nirvana who they were because they never were anything they only got popular because of timing otherwise they wouldnt have even been considered good if u hand some1 a nervaina album today they will most liklely trash it now if u hand them a Led Zeppelin album they wont trash it because every1 likes Led Zeppelin no matter what age so shut the hell up u little puppets of curt koban oh and yes justin hawkins should be on there hes a genius musician and u cant get mad at him for speaking his mind i mean i liked a lot of the bands they mocked but still i respect him for speaking his damnj mind so shut the hell up u darkness haters

[thebrad]

i swear to god if anyone says wheres kurk or wheres james im going to take your life. this is a classic rock hmm wasnt nirvana grunge? ***in retards

[im still alive]

GOOD JOB IT'S ONLY CLASSIC ROCK CUZ IF IT WAS ALL MUSIC THEN KURT COBAIN AND MORRISSEY SHUD BE AT THE TOP.

[garagerocker69]

go bon! hey wait.....whers jimi?

[jimmypagerules!]

u are all dumb in my opinion jimmy page will always be the greatest frontman of all time if anyone agrees contact me

[bucketheadshead]

i believe that Ronnie Van Zant from Lynyrd Skynyrd should be on there as well

[bucketheadshead]

Ronnie Van Zant

[Saltank]

Where is Maynard James Keenan?

[shreddgod]

Mike13:

Zack De la rocha, fred durst, that guy from the deftones?!?

you say these bands are "kick ass" with them in it???

Okay zack de la rocha is a total prick, thats why he left RATM, FRED DURST, lol I am not even going to get into talking about him and LIMP Bizkit.... The deftones suck!

You actually think that these guys compare to legends like Ozzy, or freddie Mercury, half of them can't even sing right

Your opinion sucked ass

Also, wheres tom araya from slayer, Sammy Hagar, and the singer from deep purple

Ronnie James Dio within the top 10, I don't think so, sure he was good and stuff, but most people will only remember him as the guy who filled in for ozzy in black sabbath, not for rainbow, etc, like you guys... And anyways the singer from iron maiden is far better than him, so he'd deserve it more...

Somebody also freaked saying it was a CLASSIC ROCK list, um hello, JAMES HETFIELD IS ON THERE, and FYI david lee roth and van halen aren't considered classic rock!!!!

WHERES FRANK ZAPPA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aetherFox]

OMG...Some people don't get it.

Dudes, its CLASSIC ROCK.

Maynard and Vedder are absolutely unbelievably frontmen, but their music certainly isn't classic rock. Personally, I don't think Hetfield is that great a frontman, he's a bit of a dick, and HE'S NOT A CLASSIC ROCKER!!!

This list isn't that great...lists like these will always be like that. Everyone has an individual opinion. I don't see Ronnie Van Zant, Mick Jagger, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Eric Clapton, or David Bowie. Eagles, Floyd, Jethro Tull and many other bands had awesome frontmen. I think Robert Plant was the greatest frontman ever, personally.

Kurt Cobain wasn't that great, but yeah, he was a good frontman. Not good enough to take one of the top spots, even in an all time frontman list...that would be the same as this but have Eddie Vedder and Maynard on it.

[IAMIRONMAN]

WTF IS THIS. OZZY SHOULD BE #1

1)Ozzy
2)Hendrix

3)Dio
4)Robert Plant
5)Bon Scott

[IAMIRONMAN]

dio did invent this \m/ (the devil horns} for christ sake.

[fuuckuall]

f.u.c.k u all gaylords

[DearMrGallagher]

The who had three frontmen.... and i feel all three should be atleast notable.... Keith Moon, Pete Townshend, and Roger Daltrey

[Lucifer II]

good list.......although where is alice cooper??

[EarlofGrey]

Well, I entirely disagree with Bon Scott being the at the top. I can't decide who SHOULD be first, but it's certainly not Scott. I'd probably end up choosing Mercury.

And to all of the fucks who wondered why Cobain wasn't on the list: The man sucked donkey balls. His music was shitty and the biggest impact he ever made was when he blew his brains out.

[tongrongying]

Paul Stanley of kiss is is the best, and Justin Hawkins.

[danielreid]

Good list, glad to see maiden get some list love.

[shreddgod]

Its not all classic rock

thats why david lee roth is on the list! are you saying VAN HALEN is classic rock now??

... man I feel old if thats true...

Wheres frank zappa?

Vince Neil from motley crue was pretty good, and crazy, wheres he?

[punkpig]

ok i think Kurt Cobain, Thom Yorke, Matthew Bellamy, Skin (though she is a woman), Billy Corgan, James Dean Bradfield (Bradfield Dean?), Frank Black and Chris Cornell should have made this list. And AC/DC?? they suck!!

[punkpig]

oooh, and hendrix, of course. man's a bloody genius.

[punkpig]

and mick jagger! ah! gay tho he is, respect, people!!

[RedGuitar5632]

Good List

[jimbo66]

no hendrix?? what the hell is with this list no hendrix why!!!!!!

[DoTheDew up urs]

yea need hendrix...and where's robert plant?

oh yea they forgot fricken bob marley

[DoTheDew up urs]

and hetfield..HE's FCUKING AWESOME...

[MichaelBrigham]

Hetfield is my favorite, but on best singers, gay or not, where the *** is the greatest of them all... Rob Halford from Judas Priest? I see his imatadors, like Bruce Dickinson (as great as he is!! go maiden!!) but he started in the sevendys and made metal what it is today. Whether you like him or not you have to admit that. No one could hit his notes.

As for Cobain, I hate him, but alot of people don't so if we are making a popular contest, yes he should be up there, but as for raw talent, NO ONE BEATS ROB HALFORD.

[duke2446]

where is curt kobain god, ac dc is good but not number 1 iron maiden had great shows they should be higher and mick jagger should be in there

[Mus-guar]

alright, first off i see some idiots spelling kurt cobain wrong...dumbasses...secon
d of all this list needs to be taken off the website because all anyone is complaining about is that hetfield and cobain arent on it....hey get it through your thick heads, gods as they are, this is classic rock, not metal not grunge...

[Mr Omnipotent]

maynard james keenan should be NUMBER ONE

[ozzFAN_cometh66]

OZZY should be number 1!
He invented \m/ (1975)
He has had the greatest (wildest) solo career of any artist alive. He invented Heavy Metal/Harder rock

[DoTheDew up urs]

mus-guar
hey dude if this is a classic rock front man list, then why is ozzy on it?
he basically invented metal with black sabbath and recreated it with his solo career

[NordicConfusion]

Iggy Pop. By far.

[sirbiznatch007]

Bon Scott was terrific. Has anyone ever wacheda god damned Ac/Dc concert with Bon Scott??? His Charisma and his " ya I belong on this stage" attitude kicks ass. R.I.P Bon Scott

and people read the God Damned thing, it is NOT from an Ac/Dc site it is from a magazine.

I don't know about Robert Plant being the best...I love Led Zeppelin(with a passion) but every live footage I have seen, Robert just stands there, and is kinda boring. Jimmy Page on the other hand was the entertainment.

Freddy Mercury diserves to be in the top, he rules.

Ozzy Should be higher.

And if ANYTHING, Steven Tyler should be higher. I just went to an Aerosmith concert...and WOW he is amazing. The stuff he performs on stage, dancing, the incredible voice, the charisma, and one point in the show he ran out and grabbed onto a trapeez and swung over the crowd upside down while holding himself up. I would like to take this time to remind you that he is 56.

But O well, these lists NEVER please anyone, so they should just stop doing them.

[im not mental]

good for them.

[killemall102486]

no hetfield.... this list sucks. but thats just my opinion

[Mus-guar]

Do the Dew up urs:
Good point....

[6slip6knot6]

blah

[Aneurysm1812]

This is classic rock, god dammit. No Metallica. No Kurt Cobain.

[hotdog_warmcat]

Wow, that list sucked.

[urgey_rock]

I think this list needs a few fixer uppers. Like this list:
1.Robert Plant
2.David Lee Roth
3.Jimi Hendrix
4.Ozzy Osbourne
5.Bon Scott
6.Angus Young

Hell I dont know who else to put on there, but I think thats better

[guitar_string2]

I'm ashamed of the person who ever wrote this ***in article, bon scott is not by far, the greatest frontman i can tell and wtf is up with Morrison being put #11 i think he should be #1 he had the voice of a true fronman and his poetry kicked ass! I'm sorry, but this list sucked!! God!! Bon scott what the hell were the english thinkin!!

[BellaRock]

For a Classic Rock list I think its pretty good. I would've liked to see Michael Stipe on there but oh well. I think what most people on this board want is a modern rock frontmen list with people like Zac De La Rocha, Anthony Keidis, Kurt Cobain, James Hetfield, Dave Grohl, Billy Corgan, etc. I think a modern list would be pretty cool too, it's only fair. I would call Roger the frontman of the Who on the strength of their performance at Woodstock alone. They were all the frontmen in interviews etc but thats not the point. I think Jimmy Page was just a front as Robert Plant in Zeppelin. Oh well. Good list, hat off to it.

[ninjasushi]

I havent seen the whole list, but ive read most of the comments, and i have a few things to say:

-Kurt Cobain, as much as I love Nirvana is overrated. Otherwise, Eddie Vedder is so much better and should be up there.

-James Hetfield should be at least in the top 50

-Iron Maiden? Cmon....gimme a break....

-AC/DC isnt that great. they just got mainstream and popula, big deal, pearl jam sold more albums than them and u dont see Eddie Vedder up there (back to my point. I want Eddie vedder up there)

-Dont give me this f***ing bullshit about "this is a classic rock magazine, thats why kurt isnt on there" If Fred Durst is classic rock, Kurt Cobain is like Mozart

-Im gonna get hated by the AC/DC fans for this, but Brian Johnson was a better frontma than Bonn Scott. Admit it.

-Ok, this is my biggest gripe. All those motherf***ers who are like "Axle Rose is a loser, he destroyed Guns N' Roses, yada yada yada...." F**k You! If it wasnt for Axl Rose, those stupid 80's pop bands would still be on the charts. As a person, hes a a**hole, but as a frontamn in the late 80's he was dynamic. If you dont like like it, you can go listen to your f***ing 80's pop and glam rock and go f**k yourself.

[angusdc]

YOUR FUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THI
S AC/DC SITE DON'T MAKE THE TOP LISTTHE "CLASSICROCK" MAGAZINE MADE THIS TOP LIST
AND I HAVE TO SAY:BON SCOTT IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!AXL ROSE SUCKS!!!!!!YOUR STUPID THIMSEN!!!!!!!!!!AC/DC SOLD MORE ALBUNS THAN MANY OTHER BANDS THAT THESE GUYS CALL GOOD BANDS LIKE METALLICA GNR.....THIS BANDS ARE GAY BANDS
AC/DC IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!

[angusdc]

CHUPEM SEUS FILHOS DA PUTA MISERÁVEIS VAUM TOMAR NO SEUS CÚ SEUS OTÁRIOS DE MERDA
AC/DC É A MELHOR BANDA Q JA EXISTIU!!!!

[civildp1]

wheres justin hawkins??? haha joke. bit pissed off axl is in there tho. hes a twat. james hetfields a good one he should be higher.

this is so predictable. there's 50 of you who asked where he is. He isn't a front man. He plays guitar. plus he's not a great singer. Excluding Phil lynott none of the people in the top 10 are singers only. ac/dc never changed their sound before or after. Bonn scott is better than brian johnson because he captivated people. Brian had better pipes but he just stood there. Eddie vedder should be up there and kurt cobain and fred durst should not. remember. as much as you like them Metallica are not the be all end all of rock music.

[civildp1]

Excluding Phil lynott none of the people in the top 10 are singers only.

my bad. excluding phil lynott none of the top 10 play an instrument.

[P_Gilbertrules]

Since everyone seems to have different oppinions... why not make a poll? Everyone write doen their top ten.. the most recurring be taken and put on a voter, and then people vote for them on this site.... just a thought. (allthough, being technologically illiterate, I don't know how, would someone do that if we all voted?)

In no order, my top 10...
Axl Rose
Dave Mustaine
Eddie Van Halen (It's named after the brothers.... more people know his name then Dave Lee Roth's)
Jimi Hendrix
Ozzy Osbourne
Robert Plant
Bon Scott
Steven Tyler
Bruce Dickonson
Ronnie James Dio

[bucky_2300]

It's a bunch of metalheads here...all we're gonna get is wTf??!1!? wHeRe'S hEtfIelD fRoM mEtAlLiCa??11!?!!?

[ninjasushi]

Ok, I didnt list my top 10, so here we go:

1) Freddie Mercury
2) Robert Plant
3) David Lee Roth
4) Axl Rose
5) Eddie Vedder
6) Ozzy
7) Jim Morrison
8) Trent Reznor
9) Henry Rollins
10) Chris Cornell

oh, and a message to mr angusdc, calling a band gay implies that they are homosexual, so thats kinda offensive, and i quote you: "THESE GUYS CALL GOOD BANDS LIKE METALLICA GNR.....THIS BANDS ARE GAY BANDS" Its "these bands" you idiot. you dont see me going around calling your precious ac/dc gay, so dont go calling my bands gay. If you want to insult me, do it properly and without offending the music i like.

[Rock_is_Life]

Where is Cobain, Lennon, Cooper, Rob Zombie, Steve Tyler, Reznor, Layne Staley or any of the other greats. It's impossible to make a list like this so why did you even bother. You wasted your time and energy. The least you could have done was not put them in order you dumb-F**k. Your list is allright but it has some names missing. Next time make a top hundred that way you can't screw up as bad as you did here.

[angusdc]

ninjasushi sorry for this but i am brazilian and i don't speak english very good!!
OK SO YOU ARE GAY YOUR STUPID IDIOT!! I HOPE THAT YOUR PARENTS DIE!!! I DON'T CARE IF YOU GET ANGRY WITH MY COMENT GNR ARE GAY AND AC/DC IS THE BEST

[fool_rat]

01. Axl Rose (Guns N' Roses)

yes he's the best man... AC/DC's too .... gay

[metalmassacre]

well if i had to choose id put real front man like zack de la rocha or chino moreno or fred durst
jonathan davis

hahahhahaha bullshit a real frontman hahahahahahha fred durst hahahahahahu cobain sux he wasnt really ever that great he has nothing that makes him near worthy of even looking at this list

[angusdc]

o yeah!! axl rose is not gay?????????????do me a favor!!!!axl is more gay than the president of your country!!!!

[sargasm]

my top 5

1)jello biafra
2)joe strummer
3)freddy mercury
4)joey ramone
5)davey havok

...the last one is biased

[Jason144]

I really don't like these stupid polls. They know that people are going say "Where's this person", "This person should be higher", or my personal favorite, "THERE'S NO WAY IN ^$#@ THAT PERSON SHOULD BE IN THIS LIST AND THEIR BAND SUX A$$" .
I haven't read the whole list but I think they're focusing on classic rock bands. This is why I don't think anyone after the 80s (I don't think it's classic enough) should be on that list (even Kurt Cobain, who I respect and admire) No grunge bands, no hair bands, no pop bands.

My personal top ten (In no particular order).
Freddie Mercury-Hands down. Number One. Everything a frontman should be and more. Setted standards still not met. Great piano player.
Elvis Presley-He made it cool for white people to like rock and roll.
Chuck Berry -He made it cool for everyone to love rock and roll.
Mike Jagger-Flamboyant and still ticking for 40 years.
The Who-All of the members were potential frontmen.
Jimi Hendrix-Killed with the guitar, then set it on fire.
Jim Morrison-Great singer, great performer. Made hippies act like lunatics.
Robert Plant-What a singer. Helped Led Zepplin float.
Ozzie Ozbourne-Before selling out & making an a$$ of himself, he helped Black Sabbath start heavy metal.
David Bowie-Take a look at Ziggy Stardust and tell me he doesn't belong here.

Honorable Mentions:
Janis Joplin-Sang her heart out. More soul than 90% of the other front(wo)men.
Eddie Van Halen-David Lee Roth brought girls, Eddie brought fans.
Ronnie James Dio-Made heavy metal heavier. Devil's horns beats peace sign.
Rotten and Vicious-Scared the hell out of England,as they should have been.

Should be more, can't think of any.

[Jason144]

Oh. Joey Ramone-Who else can make us love 2 minute songs.

[MichaelBrigham]

I guess its just most popular singer according to some of ya

[MichaelBrigham]

(by some I mean all)

[hEadShoVeL]

[pres_the_bear]

wheres rob halford?!?

[VoodooChild15]

dabonehead182:
How could they forget Kurt Cobain. He's like a frickin legend. I agree though on Bon Scott and Jim Morrison R.I.P for both. Also what about Sid Vicious, Zack De la Rocha, Dave Mustaine, or Anthony Kedis.

It was in a CLASSIC ROCK magazine.

[ad_lib_oz]

Whos James Hetfield?

[simon15]

JAMES HETFIELD, HENDRIX, COBAIN?!

[Gilders]

Too bad more than half the list is made up of shitty metal band frontmen...

[sharath_666]

agree wth simon15... where the hell are james and cobain!!!! classic mag knows nothin...the people listed are good no doubt..but where are the gods?

[amunspawn]

wooooooooo saw killswitch engage, chimaira, godforbid and shadows fall in wolverhampton and it was fanfukintastic

[carliethepyro]

Here's my Top 5 List:
#1 Freddie Mercury / Steven Tyler
#2 Ozzy Osbourne
#3 Jimi Hendrix
#4 Robert Plant
#5 Axl Rose
#6 David Lee Roth
#7 James Hetfield
#8 Janis Joplin
#9 Mick Jagger
#10 Bon Scott or Brian Johnson

Honourable Mention:
- Meatloaf
- Eddie Van Halen
- Jim Morrison
- Dan McCafferty
- Roger Daltrey

And btw people... ***in kurt cobain was 90's NOT classic rock, and yeah, he ***in sucks dick... so shut up about him already- oh, and fred durst?! like come on!!! he's a ***in idiot!!! Freddie Mercury is AWESOME, he's an awesome writer, performer, and is completely original... like look how long Queen has lasted before Fred died! He's inspiring. Also, how did Bon Scott make the top of the list?! can anyone explain me this?! And people, this list is for FRONTMEN ONLY, not lead/rythm guitarist... holy, read the fine print losers! also, about Axl Rose, awesome frontman, asshole in person... accept it. and 1 more thing... who cares if Freddie was a homo... ooo... *** off! he's one of THE best frontmen that rock, or any other kind of music has ever seen! so grow up, and accept it as a fact of life. where's meatloaf btw? i added him onto my 'honourable mention' list. thank you, and i hope you like my list. i also don't know all these frontmen, so some might be missing, i only did ones i knew of... i'm only 15 here, now, work with me!

pyro

[PsychoWolfD]

yeah, I'd say that is a good list.

[Ozzy_Zack_Randy]

what the *** Ozzy number 6, yeah its on an ACDC site so there singer wud be number 1 wudnt he!

and where the hell was metallica in that list i dont think i saw any of them!

[ciara]

Ehhh, HELLO! I dont see kurt cobain mentioned there. This is Rocks greatest frontmen isnt it, get axl out and put in Cobain

[blizzardrocker]

1. Ozzy Osbourne- (Black Sabbath)always will be
2. Freddy Mercury (Queen)
3. Rob Halford (Judas Preist)
4. Steven Tyler (Aerosmith)
5. Robert Plant (Led Zepplin)
6. Bon Scott (Ac/Dc)
7. Brian Johnson (Ac/Dc)
8. Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)
9. Roger Daltrey (The WHo)
10.Axl Rose (Guns n Roses)

Hounerable Mention
Sabastian Bach (Skid Row)
Lemmy (Moterhead)
James Hetfield (Metallica) Somewhat

Kurt Kobain is good but he's not classic rock just yet. Fred Durst sux balls and is a rapper, and is definently not classic rock. Jimi Hendrix is probably the greatest guitarist ever, but is a shitty singer. Why did they forget rob halford, they put mercury so it cant be a gay thing. David Lee Roth- all i have to say is f**k you. You suk balls.

[sensesfail1878]

i love nirvana and kurt, but seriously, theres no way in hell kurt deserves to be up there...thatnk god hes not.

[inoy]

Where the f*ck is James Hetfield, Glenn Danzig and Bono?!?!?!

[fabfifth]

ok... wow... first of all, the fact that jagger did not make this list makes it totally bogus neway... furthermore, shreddgod? the beatles are annoying and overrated? dude, they've only influenced every band that you have in your collection today... and I mean every... one... not that they should be on this list neway... they were not great frontmen... oh ya, and people... stop sucking Hetfield's dick... he's no showman...

[dave_86]

Daltrey 8th? scandalous. the man has the best voice of the 20th century.

[stuartmcwilliam]

theres probably some nob ed in these comments sayin weres justin hawkins? well if there is *** u

[BigAndyW]

For all the IDIOTS repeating that it's a Classic Rock thing over and over, well guess fucking what? IRON MAIDEN are on there and if you think they're Classic Rock you're retarded. They're fucking True Metal, which goes to show Hetfield isn't at the top coz he's crap really.. And where the hell is Rob Halford? And Phil Mogg..

[cobain182]

Bon scoot shoudn't be #1 he is definitly in the top 10 but not #1 and Where is Kurt Cobain he should be in the top 10

[slash_rules04]

*** kirt cobain nd jimmi hindrix they both suck ass nd thats y they want on there so shut the hell up about em... but i think that steven tyler should have been #1 nd axl should be #2 nd then at #3 either ozzy or robert plant

[SoloRocker]

This list blows, but most the men that should be on there aren't actual classics. So go figure. F*cking axl?? man sad sad list.

[jimisatchsrv]

Ronnie Van Zant from the original Lynyrd Skynyrd

[uhh_me?]

jimi should be up there, jim morrison should be higher, daltry should be higher, jerry garcia should be up there, and axl sucks, and jagger should be on it, and thats about it, oh ya axl still sucks

[riffsnrum]

ohh ya they got that right bon scott is the best front man....too bad he had to die...acdc rulles

[shoot_me_again]

the list's pothetic.

[Beanie_Ben]

dear god people you all missed 1 person.. mr glam himself... BOWIE... shud atleast get a mention

[Mike_e87]

Top 10 greatest frontmen, according to Classic Rock magazine:

All you stupid fukers who are all sayin wheres kurt, rob zombie and a bunch of other ppl from the 90's, thats not classic rock. so before you sit there and bitch because someone is not on the list, why dont you stop to think and realize that there not even in the genra that the ***in list is based on, and then you wouldent look so ***ing stupid

[angusdc]

ENTER THIS SITE AND SEE THE PICTURE OF THE MAGAZINE
PS:sorry i'm braziliam and i don't speak a good english.....

[PsychoWolfD]

^you spoke good enough.

Anyhow, I wouldn't put Kurt Cobain in the list EVEN IF THE LIST WAS A MODERN ROCK LIST!!! he's a lousy guitarist who can't do a very good solo, if he calls those things solos. Very boring riffs, and gay lyrics. If this comment was too off-topic, then sorry.

[division wall]

where the hell is ronnie van zant?

[slash_rules04]

ok for all u fagots dissin axl...he might have a few life probs but who dont? he is an awsome front man who was very insperational not to mention his wide range...that ***er has an awsome voice... oh yea nd one more person that none has mentioned is Roger Waters from Pink Floyd

[slash_rules04]

...oh yea nd Dave Mastain is pretty kick ass too

[AidenRigel]

For the few of you who said Maynard James Keenan, you obviously don't know anything about him at all. Sure he deserves a high ranking, especially as far as im concerned, but the last thing in the world he'd want is to be over-glorified and worshipped on some stupidass bullshit pop-contest rock icon list. Let alone have hundreds of idiots bitching that he wasnt on the list. I'm glad to see so few people suggested it, seems some of you do know something about Maynard.

[morello_man]

hmm. no hetfield, no kiedis, no Jagger? what were they thinking?

[Buttmonkee]

WHeres glenn danzig and joey ramone?

[TeenSpirit22]

it needs hetfield and cobain

[P_Gilbertrules]

Wow, I wonder if anyone reads the comments, and realizes that everything they're saying has been said 5-10 times over?

[MetalheadWithaK]

Give me a ***ing break, Freddie Mercury was the greatest front man to ever grace the earth.

Too bad he died of AIDS. :/

[Whstripesrox]

no James????

Oh yeah,Metallica rulez.

[Whstripesrox]

Metallica rulez

[MetalheadWithaK]

Yeah I noticed that Gilbert, sorta rediculas, I read article, comments, then refresh to see if they're any new comments, THEN and ONLY THEN, i post mine.

[MetalheadWithaK]

DAMNIT! THIS IS GREATEST ROCK FRONTMEN! Look, kurt is grundge, James and Dave are metal, think about what type of music the frontman plays BEFORE bitching about the facts that hes not on the list.

[StarshipTrooper]

Freddie Mercury is the man. Sammy Hagar sucks ass, its a good thing Dave got on that list instead of him.

[StarshipTrooper]

Oh yeah, Kurt Cobain sucks too.

[White eyes]

#1- Scott Weilend
#2- Maynard James Keenan
#3- Chris Cornell
#4- James Hetfield
#5- Billy Corgan

[blackened2x4]

all you people saying where is james hetfeild and kurt cobain and such...read the name of the magazine...its by classic rock, thats like led zepplin and pink flody and such right? kurt cobain and james are not classic rock like that. although i may be wrong

[Phoenixblade]

Definately agree with Bon Scott hitting first.

[Metal_Mad_Dog]

Where the hell is jamez hetfield???

[lonely hunter]

exactly, where the hell is james hetfield?

[metal4all]

we need our music back. i think we all know how crappy everything is getting so lets look at wht the new pu**** are playin and look at their videos and realize that things arent going so great. o(--

[disconnected]

freddie mercury should be number 1. he's the best ever

[AC/DC Fanatic]

RIP BON SCOTT YOUR #1

[angusdc]

i agree

[amatureatbest]

Where the *** is cobain and morrison is in top 10

[blizzardrocker]

Kobain is not ***in classic rock u stupid ***s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[shreddgod]

Okay carliethepyro

You listed EDDIE VAN HALEN as one of your choices for GREATEST FRONTMEN and got mad at people for putting hetfield and mustaine on their lists

You MUST be 12 or something because EDDIE VAN HALEN NEVER WAS A FRONTMAN, he wrote the songs and played the guitar for VAN HALEN, DAVID LEE ROTH AND SAMMY HAGAR sung them,

moron

Also I listed james and dave because they WERE FRONTMEN!!!!! they just HAPPENED to play rythm guitar TOO, you're a total moron who do you think fronted metallica?? Kirk Hammet?? yeah, and David Ellefson fronted Megadeth too right???

Your comment made ABSOLUTELY no SENSE, maybe you should grow up and look into what your writting a LITTLE MORE..

ALSO to the dipshit who said AC/DC suck, *** you....

[carliethepyro]

to shreddgod

yeah, i kinda knew that, but considering more ppl know eddie van halen's name more than david lee roth's, considering the band IS van halen, he deserves SOME ***in credit, thank u very much. and *** you, who r u to say who i am? i am 15, not ***in 12, i have been brought up w/classic rock all my ***in life. and yeah, i do have some sense, unlike some ppl, and yeah, i have grown up, and YEAH, i DO look into my writing, so *** off, and mind your own goddamn business.

[blistabass]

jimmypagerules!:
u are all dumb in my opinion jimmy page will always be the greatest frontman of all time if anyone agrees contact me

hes not really a front man

[SixStrings]

maybe not classic rock but Chris Cornell...along with Robert Plant, best vocals in rock ever!!

[SixStrings]

jimmy page was never the frontman, robert plant was...but page was the musical guenius behind most all of zeppelin's music.

[EMOprevails]

heres my list in no particular order and with a little more diversity

Jim Morrison
Roger Daltery
Billie Joe Armstrong
Zach De La Rocha
Bono

Chris Connely
Bert from the used
Kris Roe
Robert Smith
Jesse Lacey

[EMOprevails]

"billy jo armstrong? *laughs*
i'm not surprised he's not there.. he could hardly compete with the likes Robert Plant, Freddie Mercury and Dave Lee Roth could he?"

Actually as a matter of fact i think he most certainly could

[yourmother]

yea thats a pretty good list... i hate axl rose though

[pluckin crazy]

well then youre list is the shittest list ever witnessed when it comes to frontmen, love ozzy or not he is the greatest showman for rock n roll ever...and those who disagree shouldnt be looking at the rock section they should be looking under "shitty pop attempt of punk" section...and EMOprevails billy joe armstrong isnt even in league with plant, freddie and lee roth u fool, youre looking under the wrong section, this is real rock, billy joe looks, sounds and plays like dying phoetus, so does thom yorke...I didnt even have to look at this article to guess that kurt cobain would be there, he was a boring *** and Ozzy is way more entertaining than aerosmith dude

[pluckin crazy]

shredgod's top 5 is the best list, so EMO who cares about youre list if you were gonna start chafin on about shitty emo and punk and youre list in a classic rock section you must be just asking for some crappy comments...like this one I am making

[Anghellic]

Where's Fred Durst? The man is a freaking legend!!!

[endofeverything]
