Out of this list, and as a frontman rather than simply a singer, I'd say Peter Gabriel. I also agree about Ian Anderson, who's always been one of my favourites. However, Greg Lake has without any doubt the best voice.

This list is too short and could be expanded.
I saw all of them live (except Zavala) and I vote for PG, but Ian Anderson, Freddie Mercury, Bruce Dickinson are worthy to be choosen too.
Unfortunately I never saw Hammill live.

Another possibly choice could be PFM's Franz di Cioccio that I saw the past year - a great frontman too.

If Ian Anderson was in the list he would get my vote. But another Anderson (Jon) gets my vote instead.

JIM MORRISON!!!!!!!=GOD....

in prog id say roger waters. he was the creative mind of pink floyd and wrote compelling lyrics. David gilmour is NOT the frontman of PF

Syd Barret should be on the list. He was the heart of PF.

I must agree that Waters was the frontman. I think Gilmour was more influential and important in the music, but he doesn't have the forceful extrovert personality that Waters has. Waters has much more prescence on stage also. He's jumping around and screaming, while Gilmour is looking down and focusing on playing. Which is a good thing for the music, but it's not very good showmanship :) I voted for David though.

Syd was a very good frontman too.

The only one of those I've seen in concert is Zavala.  He was quite the frontman, though probably the best I've seen.
