    On what basis are you saying this?

    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.

    Sorry Anto

    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...

    Top 3 : Bono

    Liam Gallagher

    Michael Stipe


    Worst 3 : Chris Martin

    Jon Bon Jovi

    Adam Duritz

    Only did modern bands,obviously Morrison etc would prob make top 3 otherwise

    On the basis of my own opinion. And here are my reasons:
    Axel Rose: Complete **** that constantly pulled out of gigs at last minute and didn't give one **** about his fans.

    Justin Hawkins:Thinks he the real rock frontman whilst he nothing but a whiny frontman fronting a fairly average band

    Bono: Smug self important git, He does bring public attention to a lot of worthy causes but this is what I think anyone with his fame should be doing. U2 are a fairly average band(although i do like a few of their songs) they are the most overratted band on the planet

    Feargal McKee of Whipping Boy was always impressive. I see he has solo stuff due out soon. I'm awaiting that with interest.
