I went Strummer and put him in the lead.
I love watching videos of him attacking that guitar...

I went with Dave Vanian of The Damned because they are one of my favorite punk bands and, frankly, I felt he deserved at least one vote!

I voted HR

great to see a forum that recognises the awesomeness of JERRY A, I have seen that man perform live and he is a very powerful front man. Jello was another who I could have voted for. Iggy and Rollins are another two that I have seen live and who I really could of voted for as well. Then there is GG in a lot of ways not many can beat him.

HR for me though, mainly because the Brains live in a small venue was the best live show I have ever seen, got to smoke a few pipes with the boys and all
