Greatest front man to a band

[MCFCTrick]

As a pure frontman, in his prime then certainly this guy for me ....

Fred in Queen's heyday and Prince his nearest rivals.

This guy can have a crowd eating out of his hand…

Iggy
Andy Bell
Dave Gahan
Beth Ditto
Christy Dignam
Holly Johnson
Phil lynott.

Yes I said Andy Bell, fucking amazing Showman in his day and brilliant live.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

While Plant, Daltry, Dickenson etc are all masters of their art and even though I've never owned a Queen record....got to Camp Freddie. Live Aid still does for me.

A myth based on one 18 minute set in July 85 where, a) the band decided to do a medley of their hits (which no one else on the whole bill thought of doing/wanted to do, so ok, good idea), b) him doing some call and response between songs. At a push I’d add c) a lot of hand-clapping to radio gaga. That’s it.
I saw them live and he was ok but nothing special.

I’ve seen Springsteen work an audience with more authenticity, more sincerity, more life-affirming emotion and more humour - and over a set list twice as long as him and his fellow Sun City playing merchants came out with.
