Queen frontman Freddie Mercury has been named the 'Greatest Rock Legend Of All Time'.

The flamboyant star, who died in 1991, landed the top spot in the poll, carried out by Internet market research website OnePoll.com.

Mercury, who beat Elvis Presley to claim the title, sold 300 million records after forming Queen in 1970.

He was renowned for his charismatic stage presence during his 21 years with the band.

David Bowie, 63, was third in the poll.

Next up was Bon Jovi frontman Jon Bon Jovi, 48, followed by Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, Slash, 45, and Bono, 50.

'Freddie Mercury had it all - the voice, the image, the stage presence, everything,' the Daily Star quoted OnePoll.com spokesman as saying.

'He was idolised around the world by millions of fans and his legend will live on forever.

'He combined his ear for music with an ability to deliver to stadium audiences and millions were devastated when HIV finally killed him in 1991,' he added.

Just take Jon Bon Jovi out of there and everything will be fine.

No one else even comes close to Freddie. That's the easiest decision ever. And BONO? Haaahahahahahahhahhahahhahahahhahahahahahahha.

Layne Staley was omitted!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Slash? That pole is flawed. Front men usually SING. :rolleyes:

Although I agree the pole is flawed I don't think it was only for frontmen, just rock legends.

Oops...I see that now.

I agree with the first 5 on that list, but I agree with Posh...BONO?! I might have switched Bowie and Elvis round, and whilst I'd rather listen to a bit of Bowie than Queen, it cannot be denied that Mercury was THE Rock legend. In fact, might listen to "No-one But You" in tribute.

And here I came into this thread expecting to be dissapointed in the way these poles usually name, I dunno, Bieber number 1.

Can't help but feel Slash should be replaced by Alice Cooper...

Morrison is #1!!

with those options

I would have had

1. elvis
2. freddie mercury
3. david bowie
4. jim morrison
5. jimi hendrix
6. kurt nobrain
7. slash

no bono, eff that and elvis is still the king
