Keep in mind this is based on their preformances on stage, theatrics and charisma, not necessarily their voices |

| Peter Gabriel was the perfect frontman. If only he had had a better singing voice... |

I simply love the faces and everything Ian Anderson does on stage.

IAN ANDERSON for me......has an absolute great sense of humor he shares with the audience. Gabriel oufits looked more ridicule than fascinating and i am no big fan at all of his voice .
MORRISON was more about using his great looks.
I never saw ARTHUR BROWN live or on video..sorry!

Peter Gabriel without a doubt. Even in his present day concerts it looks as if he just owns the whole stage. ------------- . |

Gabriel with Genesis gave great performances, had some wonderful costumes, was pretty charismatic. The only thing was that he sucks at flute. ------------- I want to be an astronaut |

| Gabriel easily, that is no contest. I'm not very fond of Genesis just incase you are wondering. |

Christian Vander. (maintaining that a Magma reference must be made at least once in every thread)
From your list, Gabriel.

My personal favorite *from the list* is Ian Anderson. He and his stage antics are almost as much fun to watch as listening to the music is.

Christian Decamps.
 Out of those, probably Gabriel.
Outside prog (arguable), Alice Cooper. ------------- Bigger on the inside. |

Ian. You could tell he really enjoyed his job and never took himself too seriously.

As I said in many other threads Genesis was never my cup of tea. And Jethro Tull only TAAB, APP and This Was together with Stand Up. Then some of their new stuff Roots to Branches, Catfish Rising and Rock Island.
Jim Morrison don't what he's doing here but well.. So Ian... |
