WHERE THE HELL IS MICHAEL JACKSON, i mean havin robbie at 11,(though a good entertainer) and not havin MJ there at all is sacrilege.

  • Liam Gallagher the best frontman of all time....really!? He's so boring. He's just studied the truly great and unique personalites of rock - john lydon, john lennon, ian brown etc - and created some sort of faded and tired mishmash without any of the authenticity. And apart from that he can't actually write songs! total numpty.

  • This list makes me very glad I cancelled my subscription to Q a couple of years ago having been a reader since 1988. Notwithstanding personal taste it doesn't even make sense, being a haphazard mixture of solo artists and bands. What on earth was the voting criteria? Seemingly just pick your favourite popstar. All involved should be made to sit down and think quietly about what they've done. Complete waste of time.

  • This Liam prick you speak of,looks like a complete "Douchebag". Hello Q magazine a Frontman must look like a Rock Star. As much as you hate to admit it,Rock is cooler when the person leading the band looks cool,and can sing Too. Therefore in their prime no one comes close Robert Plant ,and Jimmy Page(although not a frontman ) was the coolest looking guy in the world with a guitar on .

    And where are the heavy waits of front-men Robert Plant, Mick Jagger, Roger Daltrey and Steven Tyler they have more talent in there little toe than that twat Liam Gallagher. The list is completely wrong, just seems that all Q are doing is sucking up to U2 and oasis as usually.

    3.Mick Jagger
    4.Freddie Mercury
    5.Roger Daltry

    9.Steven Tyler
    10.David Lee Roth
    11.Eddie Vedder
    and so forth and so on.
    You people need to attend some concerts and quit being so P.C. I have been to over 100 different shows both country and rock and you people have no clue as to what a front man is.
    Not to mention, Elton John, Clapton, and many others better than this bozo.

The article is titled "Q Magazine Names Liam Gallagher The Greatest Frontman of All Time" You are spot on, the type of voter that placed Gallagher at number one. I don't think I need to say more on that topic. As I know what your only retort to this outing could be, I hope your mummy is waiting for you at the door with a bar of soap and a paddle.
