you'd think that, but he's been doing it regularly for over 5 years and his voice is better than ever.

That's insanity. I like the band, but that's really really weird. I'll be shocked if cancer or some other serious disease doesn't come his way in the next 10 years.

My top five is weird. I can only list people I have seen live, because I can only get a full grasp of what front men can do when I see the live right? So this is my top five according to show I have seen.

Cedric Bixler-Zavala (the Mars Volta [wish I saw him with ATDI])
Atsuo Mizuno (Boris, BORIS, boris)
Daniel Johnston
Conor Oberst (bright eyes)
Jordan Blilie and Johnny Whitney (the Blood Brothers)

it's 6 but The last two had a two frontman thing goin with the blood bros (gonna miss em). But thats my top five, in no particular order. All of them were amazing live, alot of energy and allaround connection with auidence and band. Almost to the point ware a set list wasn't really needed, you could tell they read the band members minds.

Default Mick Jagger

The Stones 'Mick Jagger' has to be #1.
"Doesnt He"? I cant think of anyone else that comes to mind right away when I think of stage presence.
Elton John has all the flash! on stage a performer could want to use, but no one has the personality that Jagger has on stage in my opinion.
Then there is 'KISS', which is a combination of both aspects, flash & personality.
Still...Mick Jagger would be my first pick any day.
