Greatest Frontman Ever?

Who is everyone's favorite frontman of all time? The greatest for me starts with Freddie Mercury and then there's a considerable gap for 2nd place.

I think Axl Rose and Robert Plant have to be right in the discussion for the best.

David Lee Roth is probably still my favorite.

To the rescue!

You can hear the influence for Roth. I think I just came of age with 1984, Diver Down and Women and Children First.

I haven't seen that acoustic set. I'll check you tube.

Davy Jones would have been a great frontman.

The first two posts pretty much sum this whole argument up. The others mentioned just make my heart cry.

Basically:

1. Mercury
2. Plant
3. George Clinton
4. Morrissey
5. Cornell
