    Hermann was was always much more visible and upfront compared to his hermits.
    Freddie was the man who made the Dreamers tick.

    Bon Scott, Ozzy Osbourne, Robert Plant, Jim Morrison, Ian Gillan, Ronnie Dio, Ian Anderson, Ian Astbury, Bruce Dickinson, Lemmy, Dave Grohl, Hendrix, David Coverdale, Alice Cooper, Dave Lee Roth, Phil Lynott, Paul Rogers, Roger Daltry, Steven Tyler, Jagger. You may see a theme. But to be honest even though not the biggest fan of Queen by any manner of means Freddie Mercury probably beats them all as an entertainer and showman

    I know its all subjective but if we are doing favorites rather than greatest Id say out of those ive seen Jarvis Cocker, Johnny Rotten, Thom Yorke, Sean Ryder, Dara Kiely , Ian Brown, Tim Burgess & Gary Jarman, Ida No, Bjork, ....and all the others that have been mentioned..All amazing at what they do even though im just not into them...Its actually melting my head thinking of all those who could be mentioned.......personal favorite Ian Curtis but for all in best ever - Jim Morrison

    ps Anthony Kiedis memoir Scar Tissue is well worth a read

    Surprised nobody has mentioned Meat Loaf. I never saw him live but apparently the stage show was quite theatrical and somewhat raunchy.

    Brilliant singer - I guess “frontman” always makes me think of bands rather than ‘singers with a band’.. regardless meatloaf still wouldn’t trouble Jagger’s shadow.. for example.

    Raunchy to the extent that a few of his female singers claimed to feel physically sick after the sweaty beast stuck his tongue down their throats 😰

    Theatrical as he regularly feigned exhaustion and pretended to collapse at the end of some shows.

    I saw him at the Playhouse in 1983 and although the concert was superb he was already having problems with his voice and he was nowhere near as energetic as the epic Whistle Test appearance.

    I saw Queen at Ingliston in 1982 and nobody that I've seen comes close to Freddie in terms of both talent and showmanship.

    Someone mentioned Dave Gahan which is a great shout.

    Honourable mentions also to OMD's Andy McCluskey (I doubt many will beat him for energy expended) and, I'll probably get stick for this - Mick Hucknall. Definitely a marmite character and group, but I saw them at the Playhouse in 1986(?) and he was superb.

    He was pretty iconic even in his young life….great thread this..regardless of musical tastes some big front men and women (siouxie) talents on here

    I’ll add Tim Booth from James - wonderful front man

    As an addition to the favourite front men, Myles Kennedy

    he is fantastic, amazing voice, great crowd interaction, always looks like he’s loving life being on stage and looks disappointed at the end of every gig that’s it’s come to a close

    Feels a bit of a contrast compared to some of the names mentioned but I’ll mention Mike Skinner. In their own right, musically, The Streets weren’t great but he made then more than the sum of their parts.

    I must have seen The Streets 7 or 8 times and his crowd interaction was second to none. He always had the crowd doing something on mass. Sitting down at certain points of a song, hugging the person on your left or crowd surfing etc. His crowd interaction was excellent. Took my now wife to one of their gigs, she didn’t like the music but really enjoyed the gig. Think that would be the same for most people.

    Not one for the super cool gang but Brandon Flowers has to be one of the best front men of the modern era.
    I saw The Killers at the SECC during their first album. One of the worst gigs I’ve been to. He didn’t want to be there and put in as little effort to get the gig over and done with as he could. Maybe an anomaly and an off night but haven’t given The Killers the time of day since that gig.

    Tom meighan is rightfully sin die just now but a tremendous front man. Not as interested in seeing kasabian without him which is a shame

    Viv stanshall was brilliant and a genius, hilarious

    Charlie Parker, dizzy Gillespie , Little Richard

    Mike Peters (The Alarm)- after what he's been through its amazing he's still going strong.

    I'd probably throw Eddie Vedder into the mix from those that I have seen live that hasn't been mentioned.

    Must have been an off night which is a shame. I’ve been to three of their gigs and he has put on some show each time. Maybe he has just grown in to it now.

    Total respect for Andy Bell and Erasure. It was so much more tense and alarming to be subject to hate back then.

    Freddie for me is in a league of his own as a front man, great voice, charismatic and has the crowd in the palm of his hand, others have it or parts of it but no one to that extent
    I saw Adam Lambert with Queen a few years ago and he was phenomenal . Not Freddie of course but as close a standard as youd get as a front man who isnt trying to impersonate him. Was supposed to see them in London 2020 but it's been postponed to 2022 .

    Slightly different but George Michael at the Freddie tribute concert was phenomenal.

    Showing my age here but I saw Wham back in their early days. George Michael was destined to be a huge star.

    Best one I've seen live is Benjamin Burnley (Breaking Benjamin) or Corey Taylor (Slipknot).

    Worst is probably Anthony Keidis (RHCP) or Adam Larazza (Taking Back Sunday).
    Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.
