greatest rock frontman in last 25 yrs

hey i said ill accept it, but technically hes not a rock frontman. the new willie nelson cd is reggae, but that dont make him rasta
 
Thank you.
I'm close to tears.

But I'll mention the usual ones: Liam Gallagher, Kurt Cobain, Iggy Pop, Jack White, Thom Yorke, Damon Albarn...so much more. Chris Martin and Bono for sure.
 
nice list, dont agree with the order though. Elvis #1? ok, i can see where thats coming from, dont agree, but its one that can definetly be argued either way. The ones that completely caught me off guard the most were:

Joe Strummer #92??!!
Roger Waters # 88??
Mike Patton # 72??

also:
#29 - Peter Gabriel of Genesis? are you thinking of Peter Gabriel or Phil Collins?
#64 and #93 are the same person.
 
Yes, the topic was simple. Who is the best frontman in the last twenty five years. It's not an exact, by the nurabers subject where a definitive answer will be produced. It's a subjective topic, one which will recieve several views, from several people, with several different musical tastes.


You're certainly entitled to your opinion. In the same vein, I stated mine. You think Axl Rose was the best. I don't. Just because it's your opinion, that does not make it my truth. My truth is that Axl Rose is an egotistic drunk, with a very limited vocal range. Perhaps an octave, and that is stretching it. He sings from his throat, not from his diaphram. Anyone can do that.

As far as the bashing, I could easily refer back to your bashing of Metallica. But then, let's not wade into the hypocritical waters, shall we?


I won't discuss it any further, though. I haven't been here long, and I don't post often, but when I do, I only post about topics of which I have some knowledge and/or experience. I enjoy this site, and I won't partake in any sort of disturbance that may erupt. I am sure the site moderators have better things to do than babysit you and I while I pick you apart. I have already humored you long enough.

As far as my 'high class typing skills' and 'high school big worRAB', I see nothing wrong with taking the time to make sure I speak clearly and spell correctly. Being well mannered and polite towarRAB others is something I always strive for. Unless, of course, someone neeRAB a dressing down.
 
If you have all zep's studio and most of their live work, do i really i mean reallyhave to give you a explanation on why i think robert plant is better? think about that for 1 second please. breaking down racial barriers and being a pioneer does not elevate someone to that kinda status it just doesn't. I have never been accused of being a racist in my life,dude you don't know me from adam's house cat and i have to explain myself to you. how about FU*K YOU. there's your explanation bi*ch. i can get a group of guys and be a pioneer of pissing off the St.Louis arch, it doesn't mean i'm the best at it and it doesn't give me a hall pass to be considerd in the top 10. rock n' roll like this thread evolves. realize that. because most consider led zeppelin to be overrated are just haters. you wanna change their legendary status? get in a band and make it happen you fuc*ing crybaby.
 
Some of you GD people are unbelieveable with your two faced turn around.

Your tone and content make it sound as if you posed a perfectly calm and civil argument. You came out of no where with an insult about something that had about as little to do with the thread as possible while clinging to the topic by its teeth. You came out of nowhere with a sucker punch to further your own agenda of a band. Im sorry, I don't buy your lie sir.

I'd like to also voice support for jr., who, as far as im concerned, did nothing wrong.

To the man who said Nirvana, Kurt = Great frontman, Their shows however were hit or miss, and they weren't all great. Im gunna g out on a lirab and assume you didn't see every show.
 
Leaving him out means you don't know anything about zeppelin. You just go by whatevery one tells you. The masses were ignorant to his influence, don't be fooled. Page choose him first over the toehr two. Theres a reason why.
 
/\ thats your opinion, AXL blew alot, and half the time didn't show the **** up. Hetfeild got ****ing torched and went back out the next night. GnR was asked to do a 3 hour set the night he got burned and they quit because they coudln't do it.

I don't feel like being friendly or diplomatic anymore. St. Anger does not disquilify Metallica from being one of the greatest banRAB ever. If you said "Hey guy, Axl just got burned on stage, can you play a 3 hour set" they wouldn't think twice about it.

I don't care if you don't like his voice, your constant condemnation of that bad is unwarrented and is as untrue as opinions get.
 
Gee, its a disgrace to rock n roll to have little richard(who was one of the pioneers of rock n roll)above plant?(who wasn't), you must be another one of those idiots who thinks good music began with Led Zeppelin and everything before 1969 sucks, 90 people need to move up?, do you realise how stupid that sounRAB?, look, no one said my list was perfect, i sure as **** didn't, im always willing to learn from my own mistakes as well as other posters on music banter, saying my list sucks and resorting to personal attacks suggests you aren't more than 8 years old, learn to respect other artists than just your favorites and grow up.
