where the hell is Robert Plant, Paul Rogers, Eddie, Zack de la Rocha and tbh may may more great forntman... Q is and always will be a shitty poprock mag!
There is no sentence in English, or any other language for that matter, with the words "Liam Gallagher is the greatest..." that makes any real sense.
If there was a biggest loudmouth , ignorant prick award then, of course, he would triumph spectacularly.
The list is a joke. Eddie Vedder's absence is shocking, but not surprising. However, as for Thom Yorke and Roger Daltrey...both British, both not on the list. Chris Martin?
That there list ain't worth a fart in a hurricane.
You say "Liam" as though it's supposed to be obvious who you're talking about. Liam Gallagher? Please. He wouldn't even make a Top 100 list in America...

One of the things I look for in a frontman is other than foremost his ability to sing and play his instrument is his ability to energize the crowd. also to make that particular city his band is playing feel as though it's the only city they're playing on that tour. Basically making that city and those fans feel special, none other does it better than Michael Franti.
It's a unique trait that many frontmen don't or WON'T try and pull off. Many do so by just mentioning the city they're playing but few go to the lenghts Michael Franti will go to make you feel special to him and his band. He told me once, if you can't make your fans feel special how is it that they will make the band feel special. He'll get his fans involved by singing, clapping, dancing and by far his fans better be ready to do some jumping. Nothing worse than a dead crowd and it's that frontman's job to in some extent to enliven the crowd through a song, on stage energy and fan interaction. To me he's a master of this and strangely he learned this from Bono whom he first toured with back in 92' when he was in Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy.
Last month when he played here in DC he went to the lenghts of getting crowd reaction (while playing up in the stands of the lower deck) of do you love the Washington Capitals, Wizards, Redskins and oddly never mentioned anything political. Naturally the crowd screamed but one complaint of MF is that at times he talks TOO much especially about the political spectrum. However, that's part of his makeup Music and Politics.

I'm not sure Waters/Gilmour are great 'frontmen' per se. Love their music, but they're certainly not the classic rock and roll front men.
Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
Any list of good frontmen that does not include Trent Reznor is junk to me.

As much as I like the Chili Peppers AK is NOT a great frontman, he just isn't. :( Geddy Lee of Rush is more captivating to me while playing all his instruments.

I think hes better then Kurt Cobain, RHCP they've been in the game a long time and got lots of great albums and songs. I think Kurt is a loser and most songs reflect that!! Kurt cant be considered GREAT in any sence of the word. He couldnt handle being great. I think a GREAT frontman is Great on and off the stage. Kurt was drugged out Loser with marbles in his mouth.

I agree about Cobain(except him being better than Cobain), but there's alotta perceived greatness, plus he is the obvious leader of the band where Keidis is 3rd down the rung.
Keidis just isn't great at anything that great frontmen are. His lyrics, vocals, and ability to engage the crowd are all average. He's lucky he has Froosh and Flea in his band.
Okay I get sick of hearing about Cobain, what about frontman like Trent R , Marilyn Manson, Corey Taylor, David Drainman, Serj T?? All these guys know how to put on a great show !! Oh yeah and one of my personal favourites John Davis of Korn!! The crowd goes nuts when his mic stand is revealed I dont know of any other frontman that gets the crowd going before even steps on stage!!

Liam fcking Gallagher?!? Seriously? He's not even the best frontman in his family let alone the greatest of all time! Wow, I am genuinely amazed at how on earth they could have come to this decision.

B/c he's not that great of a front man.
But is he better than Gallagher?
Eastern Creek 95,Syd 1 98,Bris 2 98, Syd 1&2 03, Reading Fest 06, Bris 1 06, London 09, Hyde Park 10, Gold Coast BDO 14 Budapest 22 Krakow 22 Amsterdam 22 St Paul 1&2 23 Chicago 1&2 23 Chicago 1&2 24 New York 1 24 Philly 1&2 24 Boston 1&2 24 Gold Coast 24 Melbourne 1 24 Sydney 1&2 24
That is funny. I saw Oasis once and thought the concert was pretty weak due to the stage presence of Liam. His voice is amazing, but I thought his condescending looks to the crowd and overall look of annoyance took away from the concert.
funny, I thought the same exact thing a couple years ago when I saw them in Camden...oh and he left the stage a couple of times, maybe for a quick bumpie?????
Not only is Liam Gallagher a has-been drug addict narcissistic asshole, but his voice is annoying and nasally, and his presence as a front man could be duplicated by one of the zombie back-up dancers from the Thriller music video.
First off. I've seen PJ 11 times and Eddie 4 times. I've seen Oasis 3 times. I'm glad to say that in London, Ontario in 2008 I snuck up to the front row, and during one of his infamous "stare-downs" with audience members, Liam and I locked eyes. So I gratifyingly took the opportunity to give him the finger and repeatedly yell "F*CK YOU" until he looked away. PJ and Eddie for life.
At another show in Toronto in 2006 or 2007, Liam kept going back stage to sniff lines and keep his "high." A few of my very attractive lady friends got to go backstage after the show and they told me all he could do was bury his face in the mirror..chained to the mirror and the razorblade if you will.
He's a loser, and whoever wrote that article overlooked some great performers and insulted many other frontmen, including Eddie Vedder and Dave Grohl.
Besides, it's clear that Noel Gallagher is and always was the REAL talent of Oasis.
lol. Liam Gallagher is a wanker, a complete dick who's full of tired and borrowed cliches.
Plant is number 1 for me, closely followed by Bon Scott and Ed.
1) Liam Gallagher
2) Bono
3) Freddie Mercury
4) Damon Albarn
5) Chris Martin
6) Matt Bellamy
7) Jim Morrison

15) John Lydon
16) James Brown
17) Bruce Springsteen
18) Robert Plant
19) Tom Meighan
20) Joe Strummer
Hahahahahahahhahahahaha.
Robbie Williams?
Where is Eddie or Cobain on that list? Goes without saying I guess but still...
