Greatest Frontman in Rock History (no guitar players) Pole

YellowSnow

Considerations...

1- Rock only
2- No guitar players (e.g., Cobain, John Fogerty, Metalica dude)
3- No primarily solo acts- e.g., David Bowie

Mick Jagger

Jagger and it's not even close...

Mad_Son

Freddie Mercury

Objectively it's Jagger, but I just don't enjoy the stones.

RaceBannon

Fuck-off, the obvious choice is

Daltry and Plant

Robert Plant

I scoff at your inclusion of Ozzie. I scoff I say.

Plant or Mick. I'd take either. Daltry is in there, but I think there's never been anyone like Plant or Jagger. Giants of their craft.

Bon Scott

It's Jagger, but you can bet your ass I voted for Bon anyway.

Mick Jagger

He was the biggest thug of the bunch.

Mick Jagger

Freddie had the best set of pipes, although I don't like the Queen shtick that much and fine them overrated.

Daltrey was the most gifted athletically and was doing the curly blonde haired thing was before Plant.

But Mick was first by a long shot. He was the first rock guy to rip off the James Brown moves and be a showman. All rock frontmen are derived from Mick.

Jim Morrison

Haste maketh waste: Please be Changing my vote from Morrison to Plant (Love ya Jimbo)

Yeah, I new I was missing someone. I would have put in Diamond Dave over a couple here.

The Metallica dude comment was for @Swaye

Even my mod magic can’t fix the ballot box. Jim is tied with Daltrey for 2nd.

Axl Rose.

Wins pole rather easily:


I mean its a sweatpants shorts boner.

Honorable mentions not on the list:
Sebastian Bach - Skid Row
Vince Neil - The Crue
Dee Snider. ha ha I actually love Twisted Sister. There's a documentary about how they couldn't get a record deal despite selling out show after show in the tri-state area for like 7 years.
Oderus Urungus - GWAR (I don't remember him playing a guitar, just using an axe to re-kill Jerry Garcia)

huskyhooligan

Fuck-off, the obvious choice is

Steven Tyler as well.

DerekJohnson

Fuck-off, the obvious choice is

Anthony Kiedis

Meek

Mick Jagger

to me it has to be Jagger because of his endurance and how many generations he's been able to overlap.

Jim Morrison is my favorite but I get that a lot of people don't find the (warrior) poet angle very appealing; I happen to like his storytelling shtick, though.

The others on the pole list are amazing and most have at least one thing better than Jagger (voice, for example), but man, Mick Jagger has just been able to get relevant to so many different generations in so many ways despite his face...purely impressive.
