#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.

#415: Bryan Chan Ah Boy has a blog.

Really.

#414: Naked

"Have you seen Marat Safin's body? Man, if I were him I'd walk around naked."

-Not saying Martin who.

#413: SunBUM

"THIS SUCKS. We were so d**n stoked for this whole thing and now there's like ONE INTERNATIONAL ACT?? Utter rubbish. Not gonna waste my time or money.Heck, I'd make money betting that Coldplay isnt coming. "

"i think there will be a band that can save this Sunburst in the name of 'last minute' gimmick. they won't put only nerd as the only international artists, compared to last year's. so just wait..... "

"all those acts mampu fill 6 stages 12 hours ke? nmpk tk ckp pun.. lame lame lame. definitely agree. 2008's was wayy wayy wayyyy better! they sure 'outdone' themselves, pineapple. well done, pat on ur back.! *shakes head*"

"i bet they're gonna confirm about coldplay after the 8th so that you'll have to pay more for the tix. wat kind of a strategic is thisss??? hahaha."

-responses to this.


God, please bring Coldplay to Malaysia.

#409: The Day The Boy Became A Man

How does one, namely me, become a man?
It isn't by pretending his hand is a gun.
It isn't by boasting of how fast he can run.
It definitely isn't by washing a hippopotamus in the afternoon sun.
So pray, tell me, how does one become a man?

One word.

Graduationfromhighschool.
