I'm not even a Queen fan, but Freddie Mercury is the greatest frontman ever, hands down.

I always ask myself what would happen if a band lost their frontman. Queen carried on. I dont think the Stones could.

Just saying

I don't think you can see the current version of the band as Queen "carrying on". It's just a glorified coverband. Just like the Stones would be without Mick.

Tie between Freddie Mercury and Mick Jagger for me, I can't choose between them!

I was watching some Queen videos on Youtube this morning and seeing the way he commands a crowd at a concert...well, they are just putty in his hands. Made me go goose bumply. Freddie gets my vote.

I agree. Just watch Queen at Live Aid. I've never seen anything like it.

I adore both Freddie and Mich, but Freddie could control a crowd like no other.

And Mick was able to do that from the very beginning...

Freddie Mercury. I wish I had a fraction of the stage presence that guy had. But Mick Jagger is great too, and if we're including frontwomen, Debbie Harry is amazing!

Ok since I'm obsessed with Marc Bolan and T.Rex right now I think he should be on this list as well  ;D
