Who do you think had been the best frontman the BB-Band had (exept of the blues brothers)??

I loved Larry Thurston. I wish that he would do some new material.
And Eddie Floyd is great too. But he's a legend in american soul music since the 50's, so it's easy for him to be great

But I never liked Tonny McDonnell. His voice is not very good and their is no need for a BB-Bandfrontman to wear the suit, hat and so on if his lastname is not "Blues".
What do you think??

I've loved Tommy 'Pipes' he was a good vocalist and hes harmonica i thought was quite good (well good enough) he put the suite on to fit in, and to look part of the act,

Larry 'T' Thurston was excellent espeacialy on "The Thril is Gone"(on blues for you) and "Can't Play the blues".

I Love Eddie Floyd becuase hes never left since hes joined, hes a living legend for pete sake.

I love Larry Thursten as a vocalist,the best the band had ever had in my opinion,but he had nothing to do with BB.Watching a concert with him,if you don't really know the band,you may think "what's the deal with BB?".Both Tommy and Paparozzi instead look like BB,but actually
I don't like the way they sing very much:I don't like Tommy voice,
while Rob,altough he had a good voice,performs the songs in a "spoken" way if you know what I mean.Actually also Eddie Floyd performed the song in a spoken way during this summer tour,maybe they are trying to do something new.I think that Rob could be the perfect frontman thanks to his great dancing and harp playng if he starts to performs the songs in a more classic way.

Oh yeah. "The Thril is Gone" on "Blues for You" is amazing. Larry and Matt really made something magic. Love it.
