This just what we've seen live, or do youtube clips count?

Live:
John McCrea - Cake. Surprising I know, but the guy is a born showman
Colin Meloy - The Decemberists. Fantastic. Gets the audience involved...different experience from most.
Oderous Urungus (RIP) - GWAR. Obviously

Rob Zombie was also quite good, but not on the level as the above.

Youtube clips:
Freddie Mercury
Cake are such an underrated band it's unreal.
 


Dustin Kensrue (Thrice)
Thom Yorke (Radiohead)
Andy Hull (Manchester Orchestra)

Emily Haines (Metric)
Debbie Harry (Blondie)
Greta Salpeter (The Hush Sound)
 
Great frontmen, dont have to be good singers IMO.

Liam Gallagher, Ian McCulloch, Ian Curtis, Ian Brown all beltin frontmen.
Yeah - great frontmen make it worthwhile to go see a band live. Great singers don't always have that ability. Like my GWAR shout - the music is terrible, Odorous was not a musician worth speaking of, but the show was brilliant.

You can be the best singer in the world and a terrible frontman, or you can be the worst and a great frontman.
 
For a bloke, love him or hate him, it's Bono for me.

YES, he's difficult to describe without triggering the poor language sensor
YES, him and Chris Martin compete both musically and over trying to save Africa
YES, he ruined his own voice in the eighties

But he pulls off the frontman thing quite well, in a way in which only your biggest fans appreciate you.
