So, Metty asked me to do it, so here I am. This is the place where we decide who is the best solo frontman out there. He can not be in a band but can have a permanent backing band. (Bruce and E Street, Marley and Wailers, etc) So, just like Metty, I'll let you guys decide who gets in to the opening polls.

I'll start with the 2 guys I mentioned in my post.

Bruce Springsteen
Bob Marley

GO!GO!GO!

Neal Morse... his live DVDs, Testimony Live and Sola Scriptura & Beyond, are fantastic and he's always been an amazing front man.

Arcaeus · « **Reply #31 on:** August 18, 2010, 02:50:24 AM »

David Bowie
Jeff Buckley (well, he's dead, so if he doesn't count then whatever)
Tom Waits (probably not what you're looking for, but I'll throw him out there anyway)
Kevin Gilbert (dead)
Van Morrison (see Tom Waits)

and Mike Patton has some solo stuff, but he's also in/been in five hundred other bands so...

only one in my post that will probably qualify is David Bowie... but he better fucking qualify

Progmetty · « **Reply #32 on:** August 18, 2010, 07:32:43 AM »

When we mention people solo artists like David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Billy Joel, Iggy Pop, Paul Mcartney, George Michael, Bruce Springsteen, John Mayer and John Lennon, we're being serious, cause these guys had a distinguished successful solo career.
But when you mention people like Steven Wilson, James LaBrie and Daniel Gildenlow, we're kinda kidding around, these people are mainly known for their bands and whatever solo tours or albums they did were clearly side projects, they might as well have been singing in the shower, they don't really count as solo artists imo.

AwakeFromOctavarium · « **Reply #33 on:** August 18, 2010, 07:50:35 AM »

Kevin Moore

He's like the keyboardist of OSI and Chroma Key. Those two are the only projects/bands he's ever been in as I know.

Arcaeus · « **Reply #34 on:** August 18, 2010, 07:51:24 AM »

I heard he was in Dream Theater for awhile.
