Liam Gallagher Is The Greatest Frontman In Rock History

THIS IS LIKE WHEN NME JOURNALISTS LIKE SOMETHING

Not getting this at all. He's boring to watch, surely a frontman should deport himself in an exciting "rock and roll" manner like, I dunno, Roger Daltrey or someone

Agreed, but according to this poll Q readers' knowledge of frontmen goes back as far as Ian Brown or something.

They've obviously forgotten Ian Brown...

I dunno, I remember going to see Badly Drawn Boy at the albert hall, he played for 3 hours plus and not once did I check my watch during it.

But then 1) That's just me (and possibly other people who were there), 2) It comes down to the gig you are at anyway...

Absolutely not. His brother is a great songwriter though.

correct answer = Iggy Stooge

OK, I know that you lot are just going to write this off as "angry feminist complaining again" but I'm actually LOL-ing over this.

1) Liam Gallagher
2) Bono
3) Freddie Mercury
4) Damon Albarn
5) Chris Martin
6) Matt Bellamy
7) Jim Morrison
8) Bob Marley
9) Paul McCartney
10) John Lennon
11) Robbie Williams
12) Debbie Harry
13) Mick Jagger
14) Morrissey
15) John Lydon
16) James Brown
17) Bruce Springsteen
18) Robert Plant
19) Tom Meighan
20) Joe Strummer

Debbie Harry is a man?

I mean, seriously, I'm just LOL-ing so hard over this because it proves something I've thought for quite some time.

19 men, 1 woman, in a list of frontMEN. Like, did someone in a panic notice that the list was all-male and rush to insert a token woman, without realising that it was actually a LIST OF MEN by its very definition?

I mean, yeah, the list is o_0 on so many levels, but that did actually make me laugh quite hard yesterday.

Tom Meighan

Who he?

LOL

surprised they went for him over Alex Turner

WOW that list

Tom Meighan

Who he?

Lead singer of Kasabian AKA the band that has so little stage presence, replacing them with Weebles would be an improvement.

I can understand the Q readership voting for LG but I think I've misjudged what their readership is given that I've just seen Robbie Williams above a whole bunch of what I thought were legendary Q rock dudes (and that Harry Debbie bloke).

^ bit of a Paul McCartney thing going on there!

did someone in a panic notice that the list was all-male and rush to insert a token woman,

Also, did someone in a panic notice that everyone on the list was white and rush to insert a token reggae artist and a token R&B/funk/soul artist?

"united.. WOOO!!!"

(xpost natch)

can't wait for Rock Band: TG

"Hamburger Lady, Hamburger Lady/ Now stick your hands in the air like you just don't care!"

(actually that pic has got me thinking of a live action Rupert reboot starring Tim Westwood)

"We all live in a Zyklon B Zombie,
Zyklon B Zombie, Zyklon B Zombie"

"I Wanna Hold You Hand" in the style of "Persuasion"

5) Chris Martin
6) Matt Bellamy
7) Jim Morrison
8) Bob Marley
9) Paul McCartney

16) James Brown
17) Bruce Springsteen
18) Robert Plant
19) Tom Meighan
20) Joe Strummer

Somehow I thought you wouldn't approve, Bill

Chris Martin - regardless of whether you like his music - is...I don't even know where to start

Well, the bits I've seen of him, he's a frontman fair enough.

Still, though

Chris Martin - regardless of whether you like his music - is...

Not quite Lux Interior?

Lux Interior fronting Coldplay would have been pretty much the best thing ever

I-huh-I-uh neverrrrrrrr meant to *leans up right close to an audience member* cause ya TRROUBLLLEEEEEE

6) Matt Bellamy

10) John Lennon

I don't think John Lennon was a "great frontman"

Too slow-moving and easy to hit

apparently he wasn't the greatest front man in The Beatles.

They didn't have a frontman!

Ian Dury?

He wasn't in the Beatles

People be in a bad mood today, I've noticed.

lol@ the list. Chris Martin? you're having a laugh, readership of "Q" magazine. Also, yeah as per k st c 19m/1f is ridiculous.

Usual tedious cultural myopia as well "all time" puts moron Liam up against some tough competition, eh. Liam Gallagher versus, say, Cab Calloway. Or Carmen Miranda. Uh, a tough one to choose...

this is dumb, but he was pretty mesmerizing the 2 times I saw them.

Debbie Harry is not a frontman, and Liam Gallagher is a stupid whining idiot with an IQ or less than 30. Other than that, the list is pretty much nice enough. Except it would have been much better without James Brown, but that goes without saying....

Maybe, maybe Greatest Interview in Live Forever, but Greatest Frontman in Rock History gtfo

Noel was great in "Live Forever", Liam just showed the world hos incredibly stupid he is.

liam gallagher can suck my dick after its been dipped in garlic and cocoa butter. he's no more a good frontman than I am a Tibetan monk

Mick Jagger at 13 is hilarious.

Also, BON FUCKING SCOTT.

Also, Lemmy.

rooming with an english dude and an american anglophile girl in my short life has kind of ruined me for anything british ever. like talking about music and movies with those people were the rare times i felt patriotic.

(tongue halfway in cheek. you have some cool shit.)

[mainly Amebix]

Just when I think I'm past being astonished by Geir's views on black music he says something retarded like this:

"Except it would have been much better without James Brown, but that goes without saying..."
