Ok here we go...Top 100 Frontmen (and women) In Rock N' Roll!!! Counting backwards from 100.
100.) David Lee Roth
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsC7oEjCHAM
For me he pretty much epitomizes a rock front man. Cocky, energetic, full of himself and often an A-Hole. :thumbup:
99. Brian Johnson. Some might prefer Bon Scott (and he was good), but Brian was the familiar shriek of AC/DC when I was in high school.

There was no discrepancy, up to the point of
Patient7's remark...
Ghouk's entry (a fictitious one) was discounted by
CC, who kept the count accurate. While poking around, I came across this error. I don't know if it's correct from there forward. Obviously, counting backwards was no strong suit for us (my few entries aren't even numbered...) I know. Who cares? Me. :lookingup:
Can't believe I posted Marq Torien on this list. I must have been drunk :lookingup:
