#416: Frontmen: My Top 10

10. Ben Gibbard
Death Cab for Cutie

Your most untypical frontman. But that's what we love about Ol' Benny.


9. Aaron Marsh
Copeland

Undisputed king of emo. Exactly what you need on a rainy day.


8. Sting
The Police

Being the frontman of every rock band's inspiration's gotta count for something right?


7. Alex Turner
Arctic Monkeys

An oh-so-Bri'ish tongue. Full of babble, but all's good still.


6. Bono
U2

Humanitarian, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, and Irish. And did I mention he's the lead singer of U2?


5. Hayley Williams
Paramore

Not exactly a frontman, but she makes the list thanks to her mega voice. And the fact that she's really, really, really, really, REALLY pretty.


4. Matthew Bellamy
Muse

The owner of a voice you can only either love or hate, crazy guitarist and pianist. He's what makes Muse's live shows Muse's live shows.


3. Paul Meaney
Mute Math

The man behind the 'Mute Math sound'. You can't not love someone who run across and does handstands on the keys, can you?


2. Chris Martin
Coldplay

My favorite piano man and extremely close second. Energetic, emo- you name it, Chris Martin can do it. Plus he's got some wicked dancing skills!


1. Jon Foreman
Switchfoot

The best songwriter on the planet, an incomparable, trademarked voice, and the lead singer of Switchfoot. Enough said.
