    Wow, Jim Morrison and his 5 year career vs. Steven Tyler and his 50 year career. I'm surprised at the early results!

    Early death helps cement a legacy. I was surprised Cobain wasnt in here for that reason.

    Mick Jagger vs. Steve Perry
    John Lennon vs. Bon Scott

    Freddie Mercury vs. Bono
    David Lee Roth vs. Jimi Hendrix

    Honestly, I think some people voted ln favorites and genre familiarity...not objectively on the best frontman. I am very surprised and confused by some results of the first round...here are my picks and where they are different.

    Robert Plant vs. Peter Gabriel - Golden God of course
    Geddy Lee vs. Ray Davies - Yeah it's Rush
    Roger Daltrey vs. David Bowie - I don't think it's fair to call solo artists frontmen
    Ozzy Osbourne vs. Bruce Springsteen - Springsteen objectively, for me.

    Paul McCartney vs. Ian Gillan - a Beatle over the long time frontman of Deep Purple? As a musician sure as a front man though....???
    Sting vs. James Hetfield - Honestly a toss-up for me
    Steven Tyler vs. Don Henley - Drummers aren't really frontmen
    Jim Morrison vs. Sammy Hagar - Definitely Sammy. He does a lot more than scream and curse on stage

    Mick Jagger vs. Phil Collins - No contest
    Ronnie James Dio vs. Steve Perry - Toss-up? Dio kicks ass though
    John Lennon vs. Brad Delp - Brad Delp lost because he was put up against a Beatle. See McCartney vs Gillan....
    Bon Scott vs. Paul Rodgers - Bon Scott I think,

    Freddie Mercury vs. Lou Gramm - No question
    Axl Rose vs. Bono - I'm not a huge U2 fan but I think this depends on your interpretation of "frontman"
    David Lee Roth vs. Robin Zander - This is a Van Halen forum
    Jimi Hendrix vs. Brian Johnson - I don't think Jimi counts as a frontman.... he's not really fronting a band he is the band to me.

    Daltrey losing to Ozzy is worse.

    Layne Staley and Chris Cornell are far superior frontmen and singers from that era.
