I have never seen the Stones live, but I am a big fan and think Jagger is clearly among the greatest.
Of those I have actually seen live a few stand out.
Bono - say what you will about him, but he is charismatic as hell and can sing his ass off.
Axl Rose - Guns N Roses had so many issues they didn't live up to all the potential they had, but they put out a couple of great albums and live they were fantastic. When he was in the mood and on Rose was great.
Eddie Vedder - When it comes to passion and presence, Vedder is amazing. His voice cuts you in half and live he has every ounce of the power he has on tape.
Neil Young - Not a traditional front man by the typical sense, but he has so much passion, talent and raw energy on stage it is something to see.
David Lee Roth - Not a great singer, but damn the dude is energy and personality cranked up to the max.
Johnette Napolitano - Probably my all time favorite female singer. Live she is fantastic. She puts on a great show and her voice will bring the walls down on you.
Just a few from off the top of my head.
