I love Perry Farrell from Jane's Addiction - he has so much energy (artificial or not? - i don't know), the expression in his voice makes u really feel what he's feeling for the music, which is pure euphoria, its almost painful to listen to because there's so much feeling, but not in a Sinéad O'Connor self-righteous way, and he just springs around the stage like a little .. monkey or somethin, even though he's gotta be gettin on by now....
Ok I'll steal the Honourable Mentions idea ...
Jim Morrison
Josh Homme
Michael Hutchence
Brian Molko

Oooo...tricky.
The late great Bon Scott of AC/DC would be a candidate. He sang like a fallen angel ripped on bourbon, and he had huge charisma.
I was never a huge Queen fan but Freddie Mercury would also be a strong candidate - a major genius.
I was once a massive REM fan so would definitely put in a vote for Michael Stipe, although they are not the band they were when I saw them take the roof of the RDS in Dublin in 1989.
David Thomas of Pere Ubu was the most civilised frontman I ever saw, strolling onstage with a small brandy and daintily setting it down ontop of his accordion before they plunged into the first song.
In the end, though, it'd have to Black Flag-era Henry Rollins, if only because of all the above bands, Black Flag are the only one I loved enough to get their logo tattooed onto my arm, and Henry was perhaps the most intense and alarming frontman of all time, and that includes GG Allin who was so intense it was just silly.

David Lee Roth... the ultimate showman back in the day for Van Halen, and as a solo artist, and is now back with Van Halen and STILL a class above.
Honourable mentions;
Bruce Dickinson - Iron Maiden. Superb showman and vocalist.
Joe Elliott - Def Leppard. Never tries to upstage his superb band mates so Def Leppard are kind of unique in that respect.

Bret Michaels.
I am followed many many bands in my day and met quite a few of them also. I have to say that without a doubt he is my favorite front man. He is an awesome showman, plays a decent guitar, is HOT (even for an old guy). The thing I like best about him is that he makes himself available to his fans. He will sign autographs by the bus, hang out at the meet and greets. He is very nice, down to earth, throws one hell of a party.

Ian Anderson ~ Jethro Tull
Ian knows how to interact with the audience - there is always a bit of between song banter, and as a flautist / vocalist, he knows how to ad-lib wonderfully. He has a sparkling wit and an energy that takes the audience along.
Stevie Nicks ~ Fleetwood Mac
She started out in a small band in 1969 / 1970, opening for acts like Hendrix and Joplin. When Buckingham Nicks played their first gigs, she did all the talking to the audience.
When Fleetwood Mac toured between 1975 - 1979, Stevie was very much the audience's focus - many of them dressed-up like her in homage. She just knows how to relate to the audience - a skill she carried over into her early solo career.

Old days- Peter Wolf of the J. Geils Band. A growly-voiced lead singer who dramatically led the band and crowd, no special effects needed.
Today- Duane Peters of U.S. Bombs. Mesmerizing stage presence, with a face that looks like it's gone through brick walls at 100mph, faded tattoos around the neck and a fierce delivery. Pure punk energy, though some call them old school. I don't care, he's the man.

Lemmy - Son-of-a-vicar, Lemmy by degrees then became front man, singer/song-writer and bassist in the rock business - as one leather-clad, cigarette-smoking, Jack Daniels-swilling rock monster. His appearance, facial moles, mutton chops, and gravelly voice, have made him an instantly recognizable cult figure, known beyond the world of rock music. Lemmy is one of the greatest heavy metal musicians.

Serj Tankian from System Of A Down
Very rarely to we get to hear a singer with such powerful voice as this man. He is also a great lyricist.

Henry Rollins - The Rollins Band...Screamed his heart out right in front of you like he was in a room on his own. Awesome. Check out Turned Inside Out and Down and Away from Hard Volume...and seeing that in front of you was unreal. Forget MCR and all the other fake bands.
