TexMike Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) When I hear "frontman", I think of audience interaction and cheerleader more than vocal talent. Roth, for instance, is a mediocre (at best) singer, but a terrific frontman. Mercury is the most talented singer of the bunch, but the ultimate frontman to me is Jagger.

tangy Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 i prefer plant over DLR. i am biased for my faves but i gotta say mick has been really great for a really long time....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) My fav is Freddie. Always has been. and there will never be another like him. Mick So true. Plenty of people have tried to imitate him (including me, of course), but there’s no comparing to the real deal.He's tops for me. Not only theatrical but he NAILS the vocals live. Roth, Ozzy and Plant could never do that quite as well. ETA: Jagger is a solid vocalist live. Probably deserves the #2 spot.

Lorraine Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) There was only one Freddie. He was born to be on stage. This moment has to be the best in rock history: Freddie Mercury was a natural. He loved the stage and he loved being loved by the ocean of people before him.

Texas King Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Freddie, hands down.There is no frontman who can top his performance at Wembley in 1986. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 For me this is really Mick v. DLR. Strange as it may seem, Dave was more of a showman than Mick. Admittedly, I didn't see Mick in the heart of his prime, like I did Dave, but 1989 is close enough. Dave wasn't a great singer live or even in the studio, but he gave you your money's worth on stage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithrandir Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Plant is my favorite, but Mercury wins this poll for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said he saved the Live Aid concert. He loved being loved. When he walked out on stage, he took complete control. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Just to thank, once again, Stephen and EP - if it hadn't been for the two of you, I would never have gotten to "know" Freddie Mercury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh he just doesn't hang out around here that much in the first place. I think a lot of the time he'll log on just to keep an eye on me while I'm at school, of course I'm at home now like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
