(edit: I found this list of annoying rockstars with some pretty funny comments)
comment to place your vote for the most annoying frontman (singer) ever.
multiple suggestions are welcome, and reasons backed by evidence (specific songs or audio/video clips) would be nice =)

David Lee Roth was the first to come to my mind...
But isn't Sammy Hagar worse?
I dunno, I'm always kind of intrigued by weird, over-the-top frontmen, be that Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa, or certain punk folks.
Honestly, for me, someone like Conor Oberst is the worst kind of frontman. Or person, for that matter. All that quiet angsty crap.
See:

Should be considered a crime.
Well, this guy may not be annoying to anyone else, but the lead singer for Creed who can't seem to stand on two feet while he is singing...must always put his foot on the monitor like they are going to fly away, like gravity doesn't exist on their stage...he really annoys me. I don't even know his name...that's good I suppose!

Link to a video, if you dare to watch, of Creed and you'll see what I mean..soo irritating...
yeah, I've heard of bright eyes Coner but never knew that he was so annoying... I love in the interview after they bash their instruments how he brags about how expensive his guitar was... then totally misunderstands Craig's question and sounds like an idiot LOL... plus his name is Coner: need we say more?
Scott Stapp of Creed! YES!! I forgot about him... I bet he's from doucheachusetts heh heh
in my opinion, the most annoying OFF-stagefrontman has got to be Bono; if he's not preaching he's pontificating out loud. In this weak interview he 'explains' why he wears sunglasses all the time.
my top honor for ONstage most-annoying would have to be Adam Duritz in concert. (perfect examples at start, 4:40-6:40, and 9:10- end) I love counting crows music but i will never go see him systematically ruin every song he ever wrote again... in fact if it wasn't for the 2 guitarists excellent playing i prolly wouldn't even listen to them again =)
sidebar: funny little clip i found of a kid singing opera that is quite annoying to listen to (even though he is technically very good)
I don't think anyone could top Jesus complex Scott Stapp. He was bad. Fred Durst maybe? Nah.
I do remember Brad Benson showing me a video of Dream Theater and being quite annoyed with the lead singer. I have low tolerance to screetching 80's hair bands. I will not provide a link because that would require me to scrounge youtube to find the best of the worst and I don't think my heart could take the annoyance.
P.S. Adam Duritz is pathetic in concert. I think he doucheness is seeping into their studio stuff.
Bono... Hes a butt! look at me I'm sensitive...I care about the poor kids...I'm better than everyone else...I write about heaven..I'm a dill hole.
oh yeah, I wear bug glasses!!!!
If Lil' Wayne counts as a frontman, he has merited my vote.
1) The popularization of the voice synthesizer, so that the general ignorant masses believe him to be a real singer.
2) His ANNOYING TALKING
