In no order at all-

Mick Jagger
Bono
Chris Martin
Eddie Vedder

1. Freddy Mercury
2. Dave Mustaine
3. Elvis Presly - Think about it, he basically started what today is called the Music riot with his swaying hips
4. Ozzy Osbourne
5. Alice Cooper

Freddy Mercury is just amazing:

YouTube - Queen - We are the champions, live

And Frank Zappa:

YouTube - Frank Zappa - Muffin Man

Though they both seem to have a thing for going shirtless onstage

Haha, Indeed they do

Definitely Springsteen or Matthews needs to be on this list.

This list was a lot harder to compile than I thought it would be. But here is my top 5;

1. Kyo.
2. Mike Patton.
3. Matt Bellamy.
4. David Bowie.
5. Zack De La Rocha.

There's many others I can appreciate though. I've narrowed it down to these guys based on my favourites and concert experiences.
