Who Are Your Top Three Greatest Frontmen In Music

After some brief off topic discussion in the Beatles Vs Stones thread, I have taken it upon myself to ask what Giant Bomb's views are on this. I will ply my own thoughts later, but for now I will ask you.


This has nothing to do with what music you like, but more about you recognizing and paying homage to someone you believe has what we call "stage presence", people you feel that possess that certain something that makes them special and standout somehow.

Please say why you believe your choices are as good as you think they, rationalize your choices well in order of quality.

I was going to keep this solely locked to the Rock genre, but screw it, feel free to choose anyone you feel is worthy of praise in any genre of music.


Pics and videos are fine, but your thoughts are more important.

Freddie Mercury, I could list the other 2 but he deserves his own post.

For me, its all about the voices.

1 - Bruce Dickinson - Iron Maiden and Solo. Classic voice, perfect technique and a great storyteller as well!

Johnny Santos from Silent Civilian/Spineshank.

the man is truly the best screamer/singer in metal.

mmm, thats a good one...im gonna go with (in no particular order):
Freddie Mercury (Queen)
Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)
Brian Johnson (AC/DC, or to give them their proper title, AC-lightning bolt-DC) (Queue the 'Bon Scotts better!' argument!!)

Maynard from Tool, Freddy Mercury from Queen, and Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age.
