hmmm Jared Leto, Matt Bellamy, Gerard Way are in the top ten and Billie is not.... something's obviously wrong here... well at least Jack White made the top twenty.... but the lowest average vote on the list is 4.66.... yikes! Billie must be getting a very undeserved vote :o

How dare you mention Matt Bellamy's name in the same sentence as those wannabes :mad:. Muse are beyond amazing live and Matt Bellamy is a guitar god! The only current band who puts on a better live show is Green Day. Hmph :P

Yay! More Polls!!!!!

Going to vote a million times.

hahaha well I don't think they are wannabe's... no wait scratch that.. I don't think they are wannabe's minus Jared Leto, I like muse just not a huge Matt Bellamy fan I suppose :P

Voted, even if he doesn't make it to #1 he certainly deserves to be in the top 20. He really is one of the greatest frontmen of all time.

Eww I've just noticed Brandon Flowers in 4th place. Some random The Cure and Depeche Mode message boards must've discovered this poll and voted like crazy and some bastards must be voting Billie down.

Seeing the first twenty, of course not Billie Joe the only great frontman (although he's a first for me, I apologize to the other great musicians), but the fact that there is a place for him among the first, it's so undignified.... :blink:

VOTE, VOTE, VOTE !!!

Posted

Voted :D

Posted

I voted. He doesn't even in the first 20's :(

Posted

I love these.

Posted

Hows he not in the top 20 yet? :mellow:

Posted

We need more people voting dammit!

Billie still isnt in the top 20.

And Matt Bellamy's taken top spot.....

Posted

Voted. :D

Biiiillllliiieee!!!

He isn't in the top 20 yet. -.-

Posted

Gerard Way is before Billie Joe? This needs to be sorted out.

seriously?

oh well 10 stars for Billie :cool:

Posted

Voted.

I honestly didn't feel like going through everyone else so I skipped and just voted for Billie. :lol:

Posted

He isn't even in the top 20! This is so embarrassing.

Posted

Thousands of Muse fans must've given him a 1. It's a lost cause!

Posted

Billie is up to 9 now after not even being in the top 20 earlier today. I guess putting a link on GDA helped his cause :happy:

Posted

Woah!

Last time i checked, Billie wasn't even in the top 20, now he's 6th!

Keep voting!

Just about every time there's a poll about modern music (especially ones in NME), Muse/Matt Bellamy is always inexplicably at the top. When are people going to realize that Muse is a shit band, Matt is a terrible guitar player (he's a much, much better singer) and their live show is nothing to write home about!? Seriously, probably the worst band we have in popular music today.

Also, Billie is definitely one of the top 10 frontmen of all time. I might have missed a lot of the greats in person, but I've seen the DVDs and tons of other bands live, and no one commands the audience or controls the show like Billie. There is a lot more to being a frontman than being the lead singer in a popular band (Jimi Hendrix was a great guitar player, but he even admitted to being shy on stage and never even wanted to be a singer - also, Cobain was already mentioned).

I love how everytime there is a NME poll, Billie ends up compeating against the guys from Muse or the guy fromThe Killers... And then there are the classic icons like Freddie Mercury (I think he should be in 1st). I am giving 10s to BJA and Damon Albran, from Blur, he deserves to be at least in the top 10! And voting down Gerard Way, Jared Letto and Brandon Flowers xD

AND why is Jack White not in the top 20!?

Well well well! Might have to do some more voting then.

If you think Matt Bellamy is a terrible guitar player I laugh in your face sir! They're the best band (and certainly the best live band) in the UK and that's why they top polls by UK magazines.

However I agree with your second paragraph :P

If past NME polls are anything to go by this will be open for months
