Early 1990s. It was late on the CU (University of Colorado) campus. It was a hot evening with the sun going down a deserted main drag when I saw a white 1970s convertible with the top down with Robert Plant driving with his long hair billowing in the wind and a hot blonde sidled-up with him.cant beat mick jagger.

Top three, no doubt.This is a very age-defining question... I’ll go Trent Reznor even though NIN isn’t my favorite band.
Jim Morrison? Godalmighty people.grateful zed said:cant beat mick jagger.

elvis?You guys are old, and I’m saying that as someone coming up on 40.
Dave Grohl is an awesome talent but he’s not really a “front man”. He’s been a drummer and a singer/guitarist. Maybe it’s too much of a semantics argument but generally a front man is a lead singer who is out in front of the band.You guys are old, and I’m saying that as someone coming up on 40.
in addition to Reznor, I’ll add Grohl to this list and Thom York’s gets a mention.
I was too young to see Queen live in person in their heyday, but if I’m being honest I’d probably pick Freddie. I’ve seen enough of their live stuff on video to be convinced that if I could go back in time to see one band, I’d probably pick Queen.Quint said:Freddie Mercury
Rob Zombie is a fun show. I’ve seen him twice. I’d rather see a White Zombie show, but I’m sure it’s the same.Maybe worthy of a separate thread, but as far as being surprised at how good of a front man goes, Rob Zombie is a hell of a front man. Saw him about 6 or 7 years ago at a smallish venue in NYC, and it was one of the best shows I’ve ever been to. I wasn’t expecting to be as impressed as I was going in, but man he was great.
Hard to debate the top 3, especially for the era of classic rock. Would put Freddie at #1 mainly for his incredible voice. Jagger is probably the most entertaining, but also the weakest voice of the bunch. David Lee Roth, Ozzie, Steven Tyler would get consideration. Probably go with Tyler.Had the front man Rushmore discussion with a group last summer. Almost everyone was my age (50) pr older. Consensus was pretty clear for a top 3 - Mercury, Plant and Jagger. After that, there were a whole bunch of others for the fourth spot but I’d have to go Daltry.
it's the time of the season.Rob Zombie is a fun show. I’ve seen him twice. I’d rather see a White Zombie show, but I’m sure it’s the same.
