Yeah I went Morrissey, rating on best frontman.
But such a hard choice and a really great, solid list of performers.
I'm surprised Annie Lennox is in here, I really love her too.
 
I went with robert smith, but it was a really hard choice and would probably change day by day
between him, curtis, morissey and Mark e smith
 
The Smiths may have been gloomy but they werent challenging or new music wise like PIL or Joy Division. The only song by them that could be considered post punk by them is How Soon Is Now, is what I think.
 
Even though I wouldn't select him, Bono should probably be in the poll. U2 began as a post-punk group, though they clearly moved well away from that later.
