Who is the best frontman/woman ever...

[Guest Game of Chance]

In keeping with the best industrial and punk rock band polls...

just taking ideas now...I'll make a poll later

I vote Ian McKaye from Fugazi/Minor Threat

[Dollardave]

best FRONT woman I know is Wifey from http://www.wifeysworld.com =)

[Guest Game of Chance]

Isn't it hard for her to sing while she's doing all the swallowing that's advertised?? :laughing

[Dollardave]

[Pulse State]

Nivek Ogre from Skinny Puppy, hands down.

It's not easy picking one person. How about a top five?

Can we go with that?

That's Susan Dallion, actually. Silly Wikipedia.

She's got my vote, too, but also:

Nick Cave

Morrissey

Liz Fraser from Cocteau Twins

Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs -- she's got spirit

[Paint it Black]

Mick Jaggar

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Agreed.

Well, when he was young.

Anything post 1984-85, and I'd say no.

Good call on Marc Bolan...he's got to be right up there...

[JaneDead]

best of any type of music? or just punk/industrial? from the topic i was thinking that but based on the actually posting it looks like it can be anyone...

so i have to go with some of my favorites:

robert smith

prince

sinead o'connor

bjork

natalie merchant

tons more but i will stick with "five" even though they might not be my TOP five. there is still five there.

ok i lied. now here is a list of favorites that i don't think most think are good and are more the "acquired" taste or something like that.

tom petty

robert plant

kurt cobain

stevie nicks

pat benetar

ok there is another five and i will leave it at that.

[Fierce Critter]

I like waaay too many types of music to narrow it down. This is a different kind of question than "best singer", my answers for which I'd probably be drummed off the board.

But one that crosses both lists would definitely be Freddy Mercury.
