IAN BROWN. Not vocally, granted, but he was (and is) an absolute star on stage. Responsible for virtually every British indie frontman pose of the 90's (see Liam Gallagher)

Mick

Robert

Ozzy (Black Sabbath days)

Bono

Liam

Morris

...btw I don't consider John Lennon the front man of The Beatles...him and Paul were equal. No flames please, I love Lennon, but I don't like when Paul gets overshadowed during his time in The Beatles. I consider them both the leaders. That band wouldn't have had NEAR the impact without Paul (and to a lesser extent...George).

Same with Joe Strummer...awesome talent (and sadly missed...listening to his new one now)...but he wasn't the front man of The Clash...Mick Jones was just a frontman as Strummer was.
