The greatest lead singer of all time ?

**Briansmallcock** · 16-06-2011, 09:53 PM

Not the best video, not the best vocals, not the best of anything really, but an original bunch of guys from my place playing what they like - now, is this better or worse than Presley? It is original, and interesting, which Presley failed at in his later years, like Holly, Everlys, and all that shit...

Can you imagine people from the village of Greenside actually had enough backing to make a song and a video...fucking amazing!

One of my favourite British Bands and Ray Davies was a mega front man, singer and writer.

Cold who? Never heard of them.... but at least you've kept the thread on front men (even if you have named everyone you can think of), I think half the posters don't know what a front man is......

**Bobcock** · 16-06-2011, 10:22 PM

Hmmm....some comes up with Punishment of luxury......top choice, I still love The Message.... no mention of their front man though....

The fucking sad thing is it was 1978!!!! When I was young - now I am on the down slope...past half way and nearer to death than to life!

My favorite 'Slippery People' from the Stop Making Sense live video.

while we are are on 70's women
what about Lena Lovich
she would have clobbered most of those male rock stars in punch up .

**Loy Toy** · 17-06-2011, 01:17 AM

I'm not worthy and still one of the best concerts I have ever seen.

**Loy Toy** · 17-06-2011, 02:16 AM

Australia's premier female vocalist.

I tried to see & scrutinize her singing talent, she has something there for sure, no stage fright is obvious but her coarse chords and pitch reminds me of Bonny Tyler however, this Aussie lass isn't anywhere close to that, unfortunately.

She's perhaps good and upcoming within the small confines of a promoting Pub but certainly, not on a scale the Brokers will wish to see in an all out 80,000 packed stadium, not with her stiff performance. We get to see weekly our own Voice Of Holland & astounding performing talents and Divinyls sure wouldn't pass through the second round, I'm sure of it. It can be a heartache at times to see such performance wooed out by an unseen public on a wide scale, we do it by SMS voting, very effective to the vocal note itself.

**Scottish Gary** · 17-06-2011, 02:56 AM

Has to be Joe Strummer or Bob Marley

**Cruiser** · 17-06-2011, 02:57 AM

No heartache for this Diva.... Bonny Tyler as always!!
