When I voted in the original poll, I only voted for 9. I just couldn't settle on a number 10 (though I was leaning toward Gene Simmons, even though I am not a KISS fan). But now, after giving it some thought - reading the bios and watching videos - I have chosen a frontman to round out my list of 10. And I am including my own video evidence for 3 frontmen I think were robbed!!!
#10
Steven Tyler or Aerosmith
I didn't vote for him originally. I'm not an Aerosmith fan, though I do like a few of their songs. But after watching countless vids on youtube and reading more about him on wikipedia, I think he absolutely deserves to be included on the list.
#9
Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin
I don't care for Led Zeppelin, so my vote for this guy says something about his frontman talent.
#8
Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones
Same as above. I'm not into The Rolling Stones at all, but you really can't deny MJ a place on the list.
#7
Geddy Lee of Rush
Robbed!
Lead vocalist, bass guitarist, keyboardist...Award winning musician...18 full length studio albums...AND ccording to the RIAA, Rush's sales statistics place them fourth behind The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Aerosmith for the most consecutive gold or platinum albums by a rock band!
#6
Freddie Mercury of Queen
#5
Layne Staley of Alice in Chains
#4
Michael Hutchence of INXS
Robbed!
Lyricist and enigmatic frontman. He WAS INXS.
#3
Roger Daltrey of The Who
ROBBED!
The Who is considered one of the greatest rock bands EVER. But Axl Rose made the countdown instead? That's just WRONG.
#2
Jim Morrison of The Doors
#1
Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam
