Best Frontman (or woman)

Excellent choice on Wayne Coyne. And Mira, good pick too. I saw INXS three times and he was great every time.

I'll go with a post-Beatles McCartney; Bono, Roger Daltrey; Robert Plant; an in-concert Michael Stipe; I guess Springsteen even though I don't like him; Black Francis; Axl Rose, Morrison; Joe Strummer; Eddie Vedder; Rhett Miller.

 

On the female side, I'll go with Debbie Harry, Kim Deal, Courtney Love (the crazier the better), Joan Jett, Patti Smith, Chrissy Hynde. And Juiette Lewis, end of freakin' list.

 

Bob, Juliette and The Licks are pretty good.

Van Halen with David Lee Roth
Oasis with Liam Gallagher

Shit, this list could go on and on. I'll add more later.

 

Well, from the clips I've seen, i'll have to disagree. I do get a kick out of her as a frontwoman though. She's a different type of cat, that's for sure.

 

Let me clarify: Juliette (of) The Licks is pretty good. I agree that she's a wild child and impossible not to watch perform.

As for more frontmen/women ...

Jerry Garcia, though I was more of a Bob Weir fan
Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode
Danny Elfman of Oingo Boingo (which was one outrageously fun band to watch live).

 

Saw them twice live, and I agree 100 percent. I remember chugging wine coolers in the parking lot (yes it was the 80s) before the show. It was just another day, but it only makes me laugh.

 

Wine coolers! Holy shit. Gotta love the 80s.

 

93, were they Bartles & James. They thank you for your support. And I think you lost man points for that revelation.

 

Speaking of the 80's and psycho (in the best of ways) frontmen:

Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys

 

Anthony Kiedis

 

The list begins and ends with Springsteen.

Based on how they are in concert:

The lead singer for Living Colour (forget his name).
David Lee Roth
Bono
Southside Johnny (when he's not too drunk)

 

david leee roth ... shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

all credibility has been lost.
