That`s a very good question Mudbug . I guess it`s down to which Music / Bands your into . And it depends on what you mean by Frontman or talent . Tricky I have seen a fair few bands in my time , so I wil have go who I`ve seen . Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull is prob my favourite followed by Roy Harper then there`s Maria Mckee, Phil Lynott. Peter Gabriel is a genius and is up there . Bono is a usual suspect and Planty and Daltery , Jon Anderson . Tricky.

You can't compare Lennon and McCartney to the likes of plant, daltrey and mercury in terms of frontmanship. Lennon and McCartney weren't about that. However you can compare them in terms of vocal ability and for my money Lennon and McCartney are every bit the vocalists if not better vocalists than many frontmen lead singers.

The thing is when I`ve seen Macca the last time it seemed so robotic . If you watch the DVD of the tour , it`s not much , if any different to what you got at the gig you been to.
My point is that when you go and watch a band you don`t want to feel as though it`s scripted . I know it`s not what bands do .I know that but , when I went to see Maria Mckee a few years ago this guy shouted out for "You Are the light" after every song . In the end she picked up a guitar , said that she has`nt played for years , did a bit of a tune up and played it. Now that`s the kinda thing that floats my boat and that`s why I would rate her as a frontman and a joy to go and see live .
I hope you get my drift .
I love the Macca , but I think he`s gone a bit .... Robotic .

I'd say that Peter Gabriel, Bono, and Thom Yorke are up there.

Who has been the greatest frontman ever? That's a good question! I would say Mick Jagger, Roger Daltrey, Robert Plant, Ray Davies, the late Freddie Mercury, the late Jim Morrison, Steven Tyler, Chris Robinson and Bono just to name a few.
