Finally! the 80's Best Frontman Survivor is here.

We have it all...pop, techno pop, rock, hard rock, heavy metal, folk-country...

You all know the rules.

10 nominees please.

12 will enter the survivor as there are many frontman to choose from.


Here's a short list of candidates:

Michael Stipe - REM
Frank Black - Pixies
Gordon Gano - Violent Femmes
Robert Smith - The cure
Bono - U2
Brian Johnson - AC/DC
Jon Bon Jovi - Bon Jovi
David Gahan - Depeche Mode
Ric Ocasek - The Cars
Tom Keifer - Cinderella
Ian Astbury - The Cult
Joe Elliot - Def Leppard
Jeff Keith - Tesla
Dee Snider - Twisted Sister
David Coverdale - Whitesnake
Jani Lane - Warrant
David  Lee Roth - Van Halen
Jim Kerr - Simple Minds
Don Dokken - Dokken
MArk Slaugher - Slaugher
Ian McCulloch - Echo & THe Bunnymen
Mark Knopfler - Dire Straits
Simon Lebon - Duran Duran
Michael Hutchence - INXS
Bruce Dickinson - Maiden
Dave Mustaine - Megadeth
Robin Zander - Cheap Trick
James Hetfield - Metallica
Peter Garrett - Midnight Oil
Vince Neil - Motley Crue
Bret Michaels - Poison
Sting - The Police
Chrissie Hynde - The Pretenders
Paul Westerberg - The Replacements
Stephen Pearce - Ratt
PAtrick Morrisey - The Smiths
Ian Brown - The Stone Roses
David Byrne - Talking Heads
Kevin Dubrow - Quiet Riot
Geoff Tate - Queensryche
Max Calavera - Sepultura

Some of you may noticed that I have left some big names. Well, Freddy Mercury and Steven Tyler are more a 70's act in my opinion, but it's really up to you.

Let's get started then.


One more thing...I will start a thread on "discussions on Best 80's frontman survivor" so we can all discuss our choices without slowing down the voting itself.

My nominees are:

Rob Halford - Judas Priest - I can't believe he hasn't been mentioned yet!
Ric Ocasek - The Cars
Ronnie James Dio
Ozzy Osbourne
Sebastian Bach - Skid Row
Joe LeSte - Bang Tango
Max Calavera - Sepultura
Michael Hutchence - INXS
Annie Lennox - Eurythmics
Mike Patton - Faith No More

Edit:? I had to take off David Lee Roth to include Ronnie James Dio.? I chose DLR because he had enough votes on here already to get him into the running... but I couldn't live with myself if I didn't at least give a nod to Dio and his contribution to 80s music.? ?So, my apologies to DLR ... perhaps the definitive front man... so many have followed in his footsteps, but not one could fill his shoes... I had to do this... because Dio should not be asked to pass the torch.?

2nd Edit:  I took off Geoff Tate to include Sebastian Bach.  That was a difficult call... vocally, I think Geoff is superior to Bach, but, as far as entertainment and stage presence, Bach has it over Tate.  Oh well... I love them both.   Cry? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

I can't believe noone mentioned Sebastian Bach.  Is he allowed to join?

George Michael!! This man is a musical genius, he has to join! Say what you will about him, but he is an extremely talented vocalist (much more than most of these guys).
Bach
David Gahan
Michael Monroe
Bono
Ozzy
Peter Gabriel
Rob Halford
Prince
...and...hmm let me see...Jon Bon Jovi, just so the fighting keeps me entertained.


Edit: forgot Halford
