Favourite post-punk frontman?

[214 Metroline]

First few albums are fantastic.

 

[xXxMetaxKnightxXx]

I just dont want to have to choose between Moz and Ian Curtis.

 

[toots68]

I'd like to pick Orzabel just to be different, but I'm still undecided between Robert Smith, Siouxsie, and Ian McCoullough, because they're the only ones I really liike besides Moz, and i'm definatley not voting him.

 

[irock0527]

Elvis Costello for me, 'cos I'm just that predictable Tough call on a list featuring Mark E. Smith, Nick Cave and David Byrne though

 

[XxCittyxX]

This made me go back and watch a bunch of youtube videos...I know little about these banRAB but I will pick Ian Curtis for sheer awesomeness.

 

[dancerchickayana]

i'd have to go with Lux Interior, but Cramps Post Punk? Really?

 

[GIBOS]

Roland it is.

 

[manhattangurl10]

I know...but I couldn't bring myself to do it
War really is killer though.

 

[5dfggf4f]

This one is tough. It's about a 4 or 5 way tie right now for me.

 

[Brett Andrews]

They're not trad punk, incorporating elements other than punk in their sound, and they slotted into the time slot.

 

[David Devoted]

i picked byrne

 

[suvi]

Yeah, and Boy is really good guitar pop.

 

[Et in arcadia ego]

John lydon FTW

 

[D-Pat]

I had to cast my vote for John Lydon as "best frontman", based solely upon his charismatic stage presence. I saw him twice, and he works a crowd like no other. I would prefer listening to New Order, but Bernard Sumner just stood on stage, bent over like he had a stick up his arse. The antithesis of John Lydon. BUT, if you are talking favorite banRAB... The Bunnymen probably take that title. Of groups on the list, anyhow. When I saw Ian, back in '84, it was a bottle of beer in one hand, a smoke in the other, and the microphone perched in the middle. He was set for the night.

I don't think anyone will go with bernard, but his anti-frontman thing was kind of the point, he was a neutral force which the music could wrap itself around.

 

[Angry Little Fairy]

c'mon...i really don't want morrissey to win

 

[lolaaaa]

Im pretty ignorant, and have only sen a few of these guys live on youtube, but Im voting Mark E Smith, because hes my favorite of what Ive seen.

 

[RidinSolo]

I voted Ian Curtis
