I bought it for a little while when it first started, I don't recall it ever being "thinking man's" in any way whatsoever, it was more like patrick bateman's music magazine.

Q magazine, that is. I used to have the first five issues, which are apparently worth shitloads of money (TO L4YM0RZ) but the roof leaked, and they got all waterlogged.

I also saw Patti Smith tonight, who at 64yo is a better, more compelling frontperson than Liam Gallagher ever has been or ever will be.

Yes - although how a band can continue after splitting with the songwriter who wrote all of their hits?
― black jeans stained by (snoball), Thursday, 25 March 2010 23:56 (fourteen years ago) link
I witnessed Oasis's Unplugged set that Noel famous sang in place of Liam. While the music still sounded like owlshit, I barely noticed a difference in the quality of vocals. In fact I thought Noel was better.
This apparently=best frontman evar.

Immediately after the Earth solidified, Immanuel and God created the various forms of mineral, plant and animal life. Then shortly thereafter they created the first physical bodies for human beings on Earth, which means this happened approximately 5 billion years ago.

Actually, I had the phrasing wrong. The official title bestowed on LG is "Greatest Frontman Of All Time." Don't know if that cuts anyone out who was previously in the running (Bing Crosby, maybe? Frank Sinatra fronted a band at one point before going solo...), but there you go.
My candidate for Greatest (UK-Based) Frontman Of All Time is probably Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden. The guy is a fucking showman.

Reference to Q readers not listening to anything post-1994, surely it's the other way around? Whatever his dubious qualities he's the obvious ''rock and roll'' choice esp. amongst the UK contingent. Who else, Chris martin? This is kinda the anti-Mojo poll result.
Anyway this is the same myopic bullshit as when Radiohead won the 1998 Greatest Album Ever poll with their 1997 album.
But y'know, Q and all that. Sorry, Q

Not getting this at all. He's boring to watch, surely a frontman should deport himself in an exciting "rock and roll" manner like, I dunno, Roger Daltrey or someone.

Agreed, but according to this poll Q readers' knowledge of frontmen goes back as far as Ian Brown or something.

Debbie Harry is a man?
I mean, seriously, I'm just LOL-ing so hard over this because it proves something I've thought for quite some time.
19 men, 1 woman, in a list of frontMEN. Like, did someone in a panic notice that the list was all-male and rush to insert a token woman, without realising that it was actually a LIST OF MEN by its very definition?
I mean, yeah, the list is o_0 on so many levels, but that did actually make me laugh quite hard yesterday.

I can understand the Q readership voting for LG but I think I've misjudged what their readership is given that I've just seen Robbie Williams above a whole bunch of what I thought were legendary Q rock dudes (and that Harry Debbie bloke).

I don’t see the point of an Oasis come back since I suppose it would only be for a tour or one off gig, not a new album. If people want to hear Oasis songs live they just have to go to a LG gig. What’s the difference if it’s NG playing the basic chords with heavy distorsion in the back (and the rest of the band, no one cares surely...) ?And for those who want to hear NG’s Oasis sung songs, same thing, they can go to his gigs, whatever his band’s name is atm.That would the most useless come back ever imo (except for the bros who would make a mountain of pounds of course!)

I was listening to the Big Star box set last night, and especially the version of Chris Bell's I Am The Cosmos (which I think is a slightly different mix from the version I know from the Rykodisc Bell collection). The singing sounds like, well, Big Star, but the guitar playing and instrumental passages really reminded me of Oasis. Of course both Bell and the Gallaghers are well known Beatle worshippers, but it brought home to me just how much of a Creation band Oasis actually could be at times - betcha McGee played the Bell song to Noel at some point or other.
