15 Most Charismatic Frontmen Of All Time

6. Ozzy Osbourne

Too many of the current generation think Ozzy Osbourne is nothing more than the slurring and confused dad from MTV's The Osbournes, but he didn't earn the title 'Prince of Darkness' for nothing. Black Sabbath pioneered an entire genre of music and created material far heavier than what other bands of that era were releasing. When Black Sabbath descended onto the tired, hippy-trippy pop scene of 1970 with their album Paranoid, it was complete madness but people were ready to believe in it. And whilst Ozzy isn't known for being a great singer, hell, not even a good singer, his reputation still stands as one of the best rock frontmen. During live performances you'll still see him skipping around the stage and joining with the crowd with a charisma that cannot be taught. The wicked smell of controversy lingers around the air he breathes, for who could forget the infamous incident when after signing his first solo record contract he was so inebriated he bit the head off a dove and spat it out leaving blood trickling down his face? Or the similar incident, whether accidental or not, involving a bat during a charity concert in Iowa. Ozzy is provoking, defiant...and ya dad's hero! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cen1SvpTsYk
