I giggled a bit seeing Labrie in the list, there are so many vocalists in progressive metal so much more competent and better than him. And even funnier if he will get votes.
 
I basically put him in as a joke Tongue

Keith Emerson should have been in this poll Wink, and probably Arthur Brown as well. I'd put Ian Anderson over Gabriel. Both are very theatrical but Anderson had more genuine charisma, while Gabriel was basically forced into dressing up a lot to make up for his charisma-bypass band mates just sitting there.

Good poll!
This is a tough one.
Have to go with Ian Anderson, just a hair ahead of Peter Gabriel.
Welcome to the middle of the film.

Gotta go with Ian Anderson here....he's consistently been an excellent front man/showman for the band.
Second choice would be Gabriel.

Would've liked to see the Captain in here, but oh well. Anderson is the one I chose.

P.S. Is Adrian actually the frontman? I had no idea. Confused

Seeing as I have only seen James LaBrie from that list, I'm going to nominate Steve Hogarth and Peter Nicholls, both fantastic frontmenCool

LaBrie can be brilliant, but can also be, er, less than brilliant...but DT are one of my favourite bands, and his performance on Ayreon's The Human Equation is outstanding (but then Arjen seems to have that effect on people....)

I'll vote I. Anderson from that list, although I'm not a huge Tull fan.

Zappa and Phil Collins should probably be on the list too..

Had to go for Gabriel but it has been a long time since he fronted a prog band.

I voted for Ian Anderson, but certainly the second would be Peter Gabriel and then the well reminded Demetrio Stratos.
