The Best Front Men

The next group of people are some of the greatest front men in the music business. Some of these singers play guitar, but for the purpose of this post, they are being judged on their stage presence and vocal ability. 

Howlin Pelle Almqvist-The Hives
This guy is by far, one of the greatest front men around. He feeds off the crowd's energy and never gets tired. His scissor kicks and mic-swings always gets the crowd moving. After every song, he demands more claps and yells from the crowd to continue the show.

Milo Aukerman-The Descendents
A staple in punk rock band, Milo always rises above. His spastic stage presence and amazing vocals brought originality to the band. 

Joey Ramone-The Ramones
One of the greatest punk rock singers ever. He was lanky, dirty and snarled often. He is by far, the most iconic singers in the world.

Joe Strummer-The Clash, Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros 
Along with Joey Ramone, Strummer is an amazing iconic singer. His one-of-a-kind vocals, great stage presence and strong passion puts him in rock n roll hall of fame.

Jessie Michaels-Operation Ivy, Common Rider
He fronted the legendary Operation Ivy, and could sing incredibly fast. He used his passion about politics and government issues to compose some of the greatest songs ever wrote.
