Best rock and roll front man
My vote goes to Bon Scott, AC/DC.

I'll go with Steven Tyler of Aerosmith. I've met him, he's a cool dude.

Did'nt Bon Scott pose for play GIRL and not get naked ? It was on the most UN-Metal moments in history last night on VH1

Stevie Ray Vaughn without a doubt is the best front man.

A front man is strictly a singer, he doesn't play an instrument.

Not by my definition.

When I start my own band I'll have a cool front man. It's the focal point of the whole thing. I have noticed that many of the guys I've met recently that are in bands have problems with the lead singer. They may have competent musicians but the vocalist is lacking in most cases. I guess that goes to show you that a singer is more than just a guy strutting his stuff.

Roger Daltry of the Who was good back when he could swing the mike. And I agree, a front man is the singer.

I'll dig out and scan the pictures of me at some point- they're friggin hilarious.

David Lee Roth is the man. Van Halen stunk without him and he is what a front man is.

I think I have to vote for Diamond Dave. Close second Steven Tyler.

Although Jim Dandy was a piece of work...

For some reason when I think of Jon Bon Jovi I think classy lead singer who knows how to really rock.... but sterotypical frontman? ....Nah

For that gig I'd have to say it's a toss up between ol David-hot-for-teacher-Lee-Roth and Steve-introduce-me-to-your-daughter-Tyler. They definately broke the frontman mold when it comes to both those wingnuts

Kip Winger and Bon Scott shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence. First of all, Kip Winger wasn't a front man, he played bass. Secondly, he was a hair band poser. Not that I don't like any of the old hair bands, but that guy was just an azz. He would mug for the camera in their silly videos, what a goof.
