Bryan Ferry. He wore strange clothes, wrote lyrics that are witty, cool and still the most revolutionary I've ever heard. The first album was so amazingly imaginative that people still haven't caught up with it, the second was, somehow, even better, and they made at least three other masterpieces. Possibly the second most perfect band ever.
i'm with dazzak
ferry all the way. the man is genius.
I've always been very fond what Dave Gahan does on stage. Hip gyrations and all.
Jonathan Richman - one of the most energetic and amusing frontmen
The Smiths, the best thing to come out of the UK since Elvis Presley
Bryan Ferry.
Mark E Smith.
Two Ians: McCulloch and Curtis.
My favorite Up-Down-Back-Sideways-Diagonal-Eighth Dimension-Anyway-But-Front Man is Mark E. Smith.
Billy Corgan for me!
Dreams have a knack of just not coming true...
Oh, for heaven's sake...

I thought Sunbather meant frontmen of bands? If solo artists are included, I'd have said Bowie.Originally Posted by Uncleskinny

only buckley was solely a solo artist - 3 of those 4 fronted a band (divine comedy, walker brothers, bread).
and nice call with david gates and bread there, peter.
Sorry. Momentary lapse of memory. Forgot about the Walker Brothers... and The Divine Comedy. I always thought Bread was a twee English sitcom, but how and ever.only buckley was solely a solo artist - 3 of those 4 fronted a band (divine comedy, walker brothers, bread).

For me.....PHILLIP BOA & THEVOODOOCLUB
German Artist with extraordinary liveconcerts!
And he's a big Morrissey fan, always stealing my Moz buttons!!

Bread
Well, regarding my list above, Jeff Buckley did front a band, but played and recorded under his own name, so at a push it would count. As for Bread, well...I suspect many Moz/Smiths fans would love them if only they knew. Beautiful songs, great, if sometimes cheesy lyrics, and I would love to see Moz cover a Bread song. I'd like to suggest Dismal Day ('...it's been a rather dismal day...'), and Baby I'm-A-Want-You, although I can't see it happening.
Gawd, here I am at 39, listening to Bread, Divine Comedy (who did a wonderful There Is A Light..), Dean Friedman and The Lemonheads. What a typical Mojo reader I am. Oh, I just remembered, can we add Evan Dando to the list?
Peter
Tim Booth and David Byrne

Mark E Smith.I had the opportunity to see The Fall play tonight and passed...My favorite Up-Down-Back-Sideways-Diagonal-Eighth Dimension-Anyway-But-Front Man is Mark E. Smith.
I'm kinda kicking myself. And I'm sure my co-workers will give me a firm tounge-lashing tomorrow.
My second favorite frontman? I don't know, I haven't really seen anyone, I don't really go to concerts. I saw a video of Howard Devoto with Magazine, he looked interesting. His motions (or lack of) caught my eye.
"all the people I like are those that are dead"
Hard to pick but here are my choises:
Johnny Rotten (Lydon) and Bobby Gillespie
Marc E Smith beyond any doubt
