Hard to choose between Bono and Mick Jagger. I went for Bono; somebody had to. A little surprised that Freddie is running away with this thing. Perhaps I shouldn’t be. ---

My most favorite front man is Marty Roe of the country band Diamond Rio. 🙂 🙂 🙂 God bless you and every member of the act always!!! Holly ---

Freddy was the best I ever saw live, but I only saw 6 of your list live. ---

> [@Elmer\_J.Fudd](#): > > [The Late, Great Lux Interior](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC4LqiRoIE8) I once saw him strip off his vinyl pants, wearing nothing put high heels and a vinyl jockstrap. He then squeezed the sweat out of his pants into his mouth, then started moaning into the mic while humping the floor monitor…soooo…winner? ---

That’s what’s known in the Rock n Roll biz (and clinical psychology) as _commitment_! ---

I voted “Other”: Ian Anderson. How many other bands could be readily identified just by the [silhouette](http://www.giantpanther.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Ian-Anderson-II.jpg) of their frontman? And live, he’s funny as fuck. ---

I’ve seen, by my count, 18 of those listed. And still, the greatest front man I ever saw was Fred LeBlanc from Cowboy Mouth. He’s a sort little troll of a man, fat and kinda disgusting… But he has more charisma that Bill Clinton crossed with Christ himself. ---

> [@MadTheSwine](#): > > Queen. Good point. Although “[Queen silhouette](https://www.google.com/search?q=Queen+silhouette&num=30&hl=en&safe=off&client=ubuntu&hs=7S6&channel=fs&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=HMg8UbvQKYGM0wXhnIHwBQ&ved=0CDIQsAQ&biw=1360&bih=572)” wasn’t a very good GIS like “[Jethro Tull silhouette](https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=ubuntu&hs=AT6&channel=fs&biw=1360&bih=572&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=Jethro+Tull+silhouette&oq=Jethro+Tull+silhouette&gs_l=img.3...18621.21170.0.21772.11.11.0.0.0.0.343.1815.4j3j1j3.11.0...0.0...1c.1.5.img.NJHJqWh28KM)” was, “[Freddie Mercury silhouette](https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=ubuntu&hs=FU6&channel=fs&biw=1360&bih=572&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=Freddie+Mercury+silhouette&oq=Freddie+Mercury+silhouette&gs_l=img.3..0.13308.18654.0.19793.17.14.1.0.0.2.462.2924.4j4j1j4j1.14.0...0.0...1c.1.5.img.Oy_B4eOfuT8)” certainly was.
