There is only one answer to this.

Mick Jagger's film Performance was great though.  Lay in the vaults of WB for about three years too due to controversy.

Really, you voted for Steven Tyler? I didn't realize you were such a big fan...

Jagger for me. Freddie Mercury and Queen in general were a good band, but have become WAY over-rated since his death.

You get people saying they are "the best band ever" - no way you can be the best band ever when you never made a classic album.

I have to say that the most gifted front man i have ever seen is Nick Cave. Of course i voted for MK because Brian Johnson has only 16 votes, so it might make a difference if we all voted for him. Or maybe it will end up an other vote for "other".

Mick Jagger is of course a really charismatic and phantastic guy, but I would vote for Jim Morrison because he is really a FRONTMAN - the rest of the band
is rather invisible.. more or less. MJ is nothing without Keith, the interaction between them both was and is awesome and that's what makes Mick a great singer. But for a FRONTMAN, I would go for Jim Morrison or even a certain Mark Knopfler...

But this whole type of poll is uninteresting, every one on that list is/was great on his very own way..

The greatest frontman of AMIT is POTTEL anyway... whereas of course the finest FRONTWOMAN has to be the president of course...  ;)
