I wanted this to be about a band who is fronted by a singer who only sings, doesn’t play an instrument.[/quote]
Having said that, did Bon Scott play an instrument?
^nope. Good call; Long Live Bon Scott!
They all suckle at the proverbial tit of Jagger. Plus none of the above mentioned write lyrics anywhere near as good as Jagger. Regardless, there are too many greats left off that list, but the fact that anyone would say that Jim Morrison has any talent whatsoever other than being a no-talent hack is just shocking to me. The rest of the list, other than Jagger, is actually laughable to me.
you have forgotten someone very important. i think the poll should be remade and include this man instead of eddie vedder.
Steve Perry.
my vote goes to him. nothing hits my quite like a journey song. nothing.
hey, we’ve all made mistakes
I must admit, I do really like Jagger.
And Freddy Mercury.
The others are great but those 2…what showmanship!
And that’s certainly the main quality you want in a frontman.
Gotta go with Roth for the poll. Perhaps if you all had put some thought into this Roth would have been your decision! Here are some raw facts. No other band on that list has had a more eagerly anticipated reunion than VH. granted some of these guys are dead but excuses are a turn off for me. For a good portion of the 70’s Roth’s name was thought to be Van Halen! The name of the band is in honer of the drummer and guitar player and the focal point of the band is the Fromtman! Not to mention we share a cousin by marriage and i met him at her Bat Mitzvah and is a cool dude. Shalom Diamond Dave!
Not in the Poll is the true winner of this contest!
It looks like a poo has snuck up on him mid song.
Okay…I’m sorry for ripping on your thread man, but it kinda seems like a Rolling Stone or VH1 poll. If you’re juding based on actual talent and not number of records sold, you can’t not have:
George Clinton (Parliment/Funkadelic)
Iggy Pop (The Stooges)
Ray Davies (The Kinks)
Janis Joplin (Big Brother and the Holding Co.)
David Byrne (Talking Heads)
Joey Ramone (Ramones)
Gene Ween (Ween)
Chrissy Hynd (the Pretenders)
Gene Clarke (The Byrds)
Rod Stewart (Faces…Faces Stewart was good Stewart)
Roky Erickson (13th Floor Elevators)
Peter Gabriel (Genesis)
I’d still vote for Jagger anyway…I’m just saying…you gotta have Iggy on there. I guess I just had no idea that people actually think that Morrison is good, and I’m having a hard time grasping it. Someone just tell me what it is that you like about him…I want to understand.
is that “Retarded Jerry”?
^
LOL
He looks Chinese.
It’s gotta be Jim, although David Lee Roth is a close second.
Ween, lol.
I don’t get it.
Where the fu*k is James Brown!!!
Yeah I’m really drunk and a fan of Ween but I also will laugh out loud at Gene being mentioned heah.
Gene himself would laugh at being included in this discussion.
Freddie ftw.
