Behold! I am the reincarnation of Jimi Hendrix! All kneel and praise me!


thats my favourite line , especially when band mate 'colin' joined in to give him a kicking on stage at castle donnington.

"I could play "Stairway To Heaven" when I was 12. Jimmy Page didn't actually write it until he was 22. I think that says quite a lot"

Well I guess it's more poetical political.

one for the kids...

robert woodward from 70's rockers 'Lieutenant pigeon', the lead singer mum, hilda also played honky tonk style piano in the band as well..




such style and panache , just like brian ferry singing 'angel eyes' in a sharkskin suit to a supermodel in a manhatten penthouse.

I'm mostly dance music but just off the top of my head some of my own personal favourite voices in other genres are Phil Lynott, Anthony Kiedis, Dan McCafferty, Hugh Cornwell/Jean Jacques Burnel, Kirk Brandon, Robert Smith (which is more than 3 but there are so many to choose from) and from the ladies Debbie Harry (oh and Stevie Nicks for another lady and Gwen Stefani was not bad when she fronted No Doubt, oh and I forgot Roisin Murphy)

So many great frontmen mentioned here already. Like any of these best musical lists, mine would change quite regularly, but for now I'm opting for Little Richard, James Brown and Ian Dury. Just wish there was space for Jagger, Jim Morrison, Otis Redding, Uncle Tom Cobbly and all and of course, the one and only Wilko Johnson in his own band.

There aint half been some clever bastards.

Steve Marriott - without a doubt the best I ever saw (until the gear got the better of him)

Lee Brilleaux - Dr. Feelgood

Arthur Brown - The Crazy World Of.....

Honorary mention for two great front men - Sam and Dave.

Is there any point in Bryan Ferry anymore ?

Done nothing of worth since Lennon died, IMO.

Dr Feelgood came to Orkney a couple of times (seen them in Isle of Man too) great nights and i capped off the final one by running on stage and lifting a 6 stone Lee Brilleaux on my shoulders and jumping around a bit, i had a habit of doing this at the time (did the same to Wolfstone lead singer too)) he took it in good spirits, one of my finest moments but i should have run out the door with him during 'Keep it out of sight'...

Bloody hell it was 1992!

I remember seeing Fugazi in 88 and being thrilled by him and Ian MacKaye … kissing stagedivers off the stage, dealing with meatheads, and throwing themselves around the place …

No mention of Mike Patton yet; as a frontman he's outstanding.

He was alright in his various carnations. Preferred him in the Real Thing days and early Mr Bungle.

Rollins is a great front man, used to love conflict gigs, colin up front and the feeling of togetherness and power, also monkey from the addicts used to put on a show.

I'm not really a huge "front man of bands" type but I'd nominate

Liam Gallagher - total to$$er but at their height he was the man
Ian Brown - mystique and legend maintained for 25 years (and he cant really sing)
Elvis - changed music
Maxwell - many wont of heard of him but to this day I've never seen anyone as cool as fcuk on the stage at the Royal Albert Hall and have the crowd eating out of the palm of his hand with some proper fit ladies fighting to get on stage with him. Top soul voice too.

Normal service with bass, bleeps, hooks and rhythms will be resumed in the morning.

(Sorry!)

Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

Steve Ignorant from Crass anyone ?

Funny that no one hasn't offered Paul Weller

Brilliant in The Jam, but less aggressive with Style Council and whilst I appreciate his writing skills over all of 40 years, including a lot of solo stuff, he just seems to be going through the motions Live wise. At Glastonbury, I was almost bored ! Not many have done 40 years though, and still been critically acclaimed.

I was going to punt for Weller but I thought he'd bound to have been mentioned numerous times

Undoubtably fantastic but does seem to got up himself of late with a "you will listen to my new stuff" attitude at concerts
