Define 'our' He's certainly the best in mine!

a generation = 30 years

and Axl Rose is still a frontman, so yeah, he's current

Some (maybe most) will laugh, but how about Jon Bon Jovi? I've seen them live twice and he has the crowd eating out the palm of his hand. Great energy, great live performer (he should be with over 20 years experience) and a great singer as well.

i'm actually struggling to think of a worse frontman than Liam Gallagher. unless the definition of the word "frontman" has changed to talentless, loutish idiot. in which case, he's about the best i've come across. aside from Pete Doherty

Surely they have to be fairly mainstream to qualify? I've only heard of two of them, and one is only famous because he's ugly and makes a living off it.

I wouldn't say so.

why would they have to be mainstream to qualify? if you were trying to find the most successful, then they'd have to be mainstream... seeing as you're looking for best, my initial post, and subsequent suggestions all whoop Liam Gallagher with ease.

Why? Being mainstream isn't a prerequisite to being a good front man as far as I can tell.

[Fayshun]

Richard Ashcroft?

[Garp]

I will always claim Robbie Williams is one of the best front men around.

As much as he can be an irritating ****, he is a superb showman and knows how to work a crowd when he's on stage performing. Some good examples are his live at Knebworth performance and him on stage for "Swing when you're winning"; both totally different performances and suited the music.

Edit:

You know what.. I'm not even sure why I bothered posting in this thread. No matter what anyone says Gilly will disagree with them; mainly due to how big an Oasis fan he is.

That a large number of people consider the Gallagher brothers to be drunken loutish twats re-hashing Beatles songs in various guises will never even enter into the equation.
