most annoying frontman ever?

(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 =)

does rock make you ugly?

or is it that rock just allows the ugly to succeed? (see possible evidence in pic below)
although i'm not sure if eddie van halen was even decent-looking in his prime, i can easily say that he is far from it now if this pic from 2006 is allowed into evidence!
fortunately, more recent pics show a bit of improvement from his 'meth-mouth' look of 2006. i especially enjoyed some of the defensive comments from people on the blog.... wow those are some die-hard fans!

interesting comparison
