10 Greatest Hard Rock Frontmen Of The '70s

10. Lemmy - Motorhead

Every now and again, there are those few singers that seem to be born with it. No matter how much other singers might try to capture their own style, these artists exude charisma so naturally that it's almost impossible to take your eyes off of them. These people may be born to win, so what about those born to lose?

Across his early career, Lemmy from Motorhead was the culmination of the rock and roll lifestyle. Hell, before he had even reached the top with Motorhead, he had already done time in the psychedelic outfit Hawkwind along with being the roadie for Jimi Hendrix for a little while. Once he had the stage to himself though, Lemmy took no prisoners whenever he threw down. With a mic suspended high above the rafters, everything Lemmy did was balls-to-the-wall rock and roll, from the Jack and Coke he pounded out onstage to the sheer volume and intensity that comes with songs like Overkill.

Throughout his time on this earth though, Lemmy stuck by his laurels as just being a traditional rock and roller, never wanting to be anything more than the traveling musical outlaw that he was each day. Though many people tend to play up their rock star styles, there will never truly be another frontman who kept his music this close to the chest.
