What makes a good punk frontman? That could be many things since punk can be very out there as a genre. A good frontman in my opinion should be unique, memorable, have a certain presence, and or a message they are trying to send with their lyrics.
The following is a list of who we at Punk Opinion think are the top 15 punk frontmen of all time.
1. Jello Biafra- Dead Kennedys
2.Glenn Danzig- The Misfits, SamHain
3. Ian MacKaye- Minor Threat, Fugazi, Embrace
4. Kieth Morris- Black Flag, OFF!, Circle Jerks
5. Joe Strummer- The Clash
6. Greg Gaffin- Bad Religion
7. Henry Rollins- Black Flag
8. Joey Ramone- The Ramones
9. David Vanian- The Damned
10. Tim Armstrong- Operation Ivy, Rancid
11. GG Allin- The Murder Junkies, Scumfuc
12. Chris #2- Anti Flag
13. H.R.- Bad Brains
14. Mark Unseen- The Unseen
15. Steve Ignorant- Crass
So that is our list. We have guys that are straight up crazy and emotional with their music, guys who are dark and bad-ass, guys who have very meaningful lyrics, and even a man who made great music, while getting naked on stage.
And if those aren't the qualities of a good punk rock frontman, then I don't know what is.
