It's a fair point Lennon, but that's precisely the point of Liam. The fact that he stands stock still with his hands behind his back, almost as if he's bored by the thousands of people going apeshit in front of him... the deathly state... the swagger up to the mic, arms a-swinging... hell, even the utter bollocks he used to shout between songs in the nineties, it's all strangely compelling, you can't take your eyes off it. and even on the nights when his voice is shit you still have to keep your eyes on him because you never know what will happen

Moves like everyone's slightly alcoholic auntie Those moves changed the world... Read a book, there was music made before 1963. God bless. Thought you prized yourself on your sense of humour on here? It seems to have gone missing... I'm sure "those moves" did have a profound effect on many a young kid watching that footage, for many years after that, (hell, I've read Keith Richard's 'Life' and dragged myself through page after page of non-relenting bios on every Fifties rock n roll/blues/country singer Keef may have once listened to so I get the general idea of the effect he obviously had) but here in 2014, as the petulant, ignorant kid I obviously am, I say he looks strikingly similar to any middle-aged woman at a wedding disco, too far gone to care what she looks like Like anything that's at one time groundbreaking, "those moves" aren't immune to the curse of time. Would you sit listening to a Marconi radio now, or get all agog at the picture quality of an RCA 630-TS? No, I assume.

I'm not a fan of Queen at all, but it's obvious Freddie Mercury is great. Could anyone control the crowd like that at Wembley when they played live? No one comes close.

To be fair I didn't mention Elvis as i don't class him as a "frontman" as such, he transcends frontmen in all honesty.
Elvis is King, if he's in the running then its a no contest for me. Thats why i excluded him.

Liam is top for me, his unpredictability makes Oasis even more exciting. He has the look and the attitude to pull it off. Then again i'm biased.
Freddie is also amazing, 2 very different frontmen. Mick Jagger..not a bit fan at all
