I got this from Shiiddooobbbeee:

"It's the singer not the song -- here's our tribute to 31 of the most electric personalities ever to command center stage, grab the spotlight and the mic, and rock our worlds.

EDITOR'S NOTE: When EW.com's staff began brainstorming a list of the best rock frontmen and -women of all time, you can imagine how long it was - about 150 names from all eras and genres. So how'd we narrow it down to this sleek gallery of 31? Well, we set a couple ground rules: First, we stripped down the word frontman to its strictest definition - that is, the artist whose sole responsibility it is to stand in front of his/her mates to sing, rap, and entertain, as opposed to playing an instrument to boot. (Sorry, Billy Joe Armstrong, Gregg Allman, and Jerry Garcia!) Then, we cut the artists who have led bands bearing their names - like Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, or the Jimi Hendrix Experience - simply because, well, it seemed like they're really solo artists with a band in support.

1. Bjork
2. Jon Bon Jovi
3. Bono
4. Ian Curtis
5. Chuck D
6. Roger Daltrey
7. Zach de la Rocha
8. Bruce Dickinson
9. Perry Farrell
10. Debbie Harry
11. Michael Hutchence
12. Michael Jackson
13. Mick Jagger
If Elvis was among the first musicians to allude to sex, then Mick Jagger was the first to personify it. Once he and the rest of the Stones shed their early, mod-college-boy look, Mick became the poster boy for 1960s sex, drugs, and rock & roll. And though he may take flak for continuing to tour well into his geriatric years, lucky is the man who can shake his hips at 40 the way Mick does in his 60s.
14. Janis Joplin
15. Anthony Kiedis
16. Shirley Manson
17. Freddie Mercury
18. Jim Morrison
19. Morrissey
20. Karen O
21. Ozzy Osbourne
22. Robert Plant
23. Iggy Pop
24. Joey Ramone
25. Axl Rose
26. David Lee Roth
27. Johnny Rotten
28. Bon Scott
29. Gwen Stefani
30. Michael Stipe
31. Steven Tyler
