So many Ozzy fans! I remember Ozzy at the US Festival coming out in voodoo outfit, very cool! My only problem with Ozzy live is that he stands at the Microphone stand, takes the mike, walks to the right, then to the middle again, then walks to left, and back and forth. Anyways, nothin wrong with Ozzy but just never cared for him live.

My top:
1) Diamond Dave
2) Rob Halford
3) Robert Plant
4) Freddie Mercury
5) Sammy Hagar

One of my all-time-favorites that might not be included in this type of list is Bono!

I think Ozzy Osbourne, without Sabbath or Rhodes, is dogshit. I lunge at the radio when any "song" of his pollutes the airwaves. Have ya listened to the guy speak? He is an idiot.

1.Elvis Presley
2.David Lee Roth
3.Mick Jagger
4.Robert "Percy" Plant
5.Mark Lanegan
5 1/2. Jeff Buckley

Come on Loons, you can't deny the impact Ozzy has had on rock n' roll.
The guy is just hilarious, though. Anyhow, this wasn't a forum to bash the frontmen of rock.

1.Gary Cherone
2.Mick Jagger
3.Rod Stewart
4.Ozzy Osbourne
5.Adrian Belew
6.Eric Clapton
7.How many did you say?

1. DLR
2. Freddie Mercury
3. Rob Halford
4. Klause Miene (sic)
5. Biff Byford (saxon)

Probably would change 5 if I thought about
this for more than 10 seconds

i can't even believe someone put cherone up there what a joke

1. Sammy Hagar
2. Diamond Dave
3. Roger Daltrey
4. Vince Neil
5. Robin Zander

Here my favorite 5 frontmen ( it's all about that same ole funky attitude!):
1. David Lee Roth
2. Steven Tyler
3. Robert Plant
4. Mick Jagger
5. Ted Nugent

My top five


1. Diamond Dave
2. Roger Daltrey
3. Robert Plant
4. Jim Morrison
5. Mick Jagger
6. Ozzy


Sorry about putting 6, but Ozzy deserves to be mentioned in there. My list changes depending on what day of the week it is, but Dave is always Numero Uno.

1. Richard Hell
2. Joe Strummer
3. John Doe
4. David Lee Roth
5. Ian Macae

my top five
1. David Lee Roth
2. Freddie Mercury
3. Robert Plant
4. Sammy Hagar
5. Steven Tyler

1- Elvis--the dude that started it all
2- Mick Jagger-- those nights watching Tina Turner in the wings paid off for this guy.
3-David Lee Roth-- the guy some of you are soo scared of because he's dangerous,,(see 4 and 2 for more danger)
4-Jim Morrison --his band mates use to get freaked when Jim did his thing on stage,,, but i bet they would LOVE to have him back to do it again.
5-Johnny Rotten--spawned a whole new style of music and gave the dinosaurs a run for their money. punk rock would soon just become anothe part of rock and sure as hell beats bob seager any day of the week

------------------
'You know I'm your hero' ! ! ;)

1. Sammy Hagar (by far)
2. Dave Matthews
3. Hetfield
4. Kim Mitchell
5. Tim Kiefer
6. Billy Joel

This is a difficult question when you consider singing ability, personality, showmanship, etc. I just noticed that I all the guys I picked play and sing at the same time. I guess you could give points for that, too.

ooops, TOM Keifer, not Tim

Old threads are like children; it's nice to sit back and watch them grow... http://216.10.25.192/vhlforum/smilies/smile.gif

1.David Lee Roth
2.Bruce Dickinson
3.Sammy Hagar w/VH
4.Eddie Vedder
5.Ozzy Osbourne

1. bon scott
2. david lee roth
3. brian johnson
4. mick jagger
5. elvis presley...should be #1 he earned it.

1. Diamond David Lee Roth (like this needed to be stated...???)
2. Ozzy Osbourne
3. Steven Tyler
4. Freddie Mercury
5. Jim Morrison

I was never alive when Morrison was fronting The Doors, but from what I've seen on video he was awesome. No theatrics. No pyro. No nothing. And in my opinion, with him just getting up on stage and doing his thing, that's what made him great. Ozzy....man, I've never seen anyone control an audience like him, ever. Steven Tyler been in the band business since the 60's, so if there's anyone out there right now that knows what they're doing, it's him. Freddie? Words escape me.

Which finally brings me to Dave.....do I need to say anything more? I didn't think so.
