TBH he wasn't that fantastic two years ago in The Point - sang great but didn't move about much and was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to nicey nicey. That's not the Gillan I remember from yore.

I have one true idol in music: mr Ian McCulloch, leadsinger of my favourite band Echo & The Bunnymen. Brilliant lyricist, impressing charisma on stage, a voice that is thrillingly beautiful, and a very interesting and down-to-earth person.

So my best frontman is Ian McCulloch.

Other very good ones:

Brian Molko (Placebo)
Morrissey (The Smiths)
James Dean Bradfield (Manic Street Preachers)
Bono (U2)
Marilyn Manson (M. Manson)
Matthew Bellamy (Muse) -- really amazing vocal reach he has
Peter Murphy (Bauhaus)
Nicola Sirkis (Indochine)



Worst lead singers:

Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit)
Rob Zombie (White Zombie)
...

difficult one, most singers I dislike happen to be solo vocalists...
