Prince and Elvis to artists that had a backing band. I wouldn't consider them frontmen considering they were solo artists.

Bono is shit.

I like Tool, but I don't think of him when I think of great frontmen.

bono? #2? :rolleyes: Bono has as much stage presence and personality as "the clap"

The "clap" wasn't what came to mind, more like the charisma of a mountain goat....



Steven Tyler should be on the list.......DAYUM...how could Bono snake Tyler out of a Charisma spot :nw:

I do think Freddie Mercury should be before Mick Jagger. Sure, Mick Jagger has great stage presence, but he seems to always do the same stuff. Freddie Mercury always came out with something new, and that's what makes him a good frontman.

That's not a bad list, but mine would be different...I don't think Bono should be 2nd either even though I like early U2.
