    Top 5 Frontmen OF ALL TIME - Listen to the Podcast and Share Your List!

    Hey gang,

    We've been having a lot of High Fidelity style Top 5 discussions lately, the most recent of which was regarding the Top 5 Frontmen / Frontwomen / Front People in the history of rock.

    Give a listen to the most recent episode of the Harmonix Podcast for the rundown on the Community Team's selections. We couldn't even agree with each other, so I'm sure many of you will have your own thoughts on the subject.

    Give the show a listen, weigh in on our picks and post your own Top 5 list here!

    Couldn't even agree with each other EXCEPT on Freddie Mercury being an easy #1, I hope.

    Get ready to YELL AT EACH OTHER.
    I perform the greatest karaoke rendition of Born To Run that you'll ever hear. And that is no lie.

    I saw some tweets about this. It seemed pretty interesting. Too bad I've never seen anything live.

    What about videos? Photos? Live albums? Most of us on the podcast listed bands that we haven't seen in person, so go for it!

    I think Nick mentioned Canninus in a tweet, but he didn't join us for the recording. BOOOO.

    See, this is why you need a Canadian doing these podcasts.

    Because yeah, Angelo, Freddie, Mick, Iggy, sure. All brilliant.

    But Gord Downie. Particularly back about 10-20 years ago. The rants. The maniacal grinning. The arguments with his mike stand. I'd put him in my top 3, easily.

    Haven't listened to the podcast yet, will do shortly. Anyway, here's my top 5 in no particular order before I start changing it a whole bunch:

    King Diamond
    Jello Biafra
    Alice Cooper
    Iggy Pop
    Roger Daltrey

    Edit: So I ended up switching Roger Daltrey for David Bowie, seems concrete for now.
