Over the past couple of weeks London's Xfm radio held a contest and asked listeners to determine the greatest frontman* of all time. The results were announced yesterday and proved to be somewhat questionable: Liam Gallagher was named the winner.

Hang on a minute here--I am a HUGE Oasis fan--but are you kidding me? Greatest frontman? Gallagher is known for standing on stage, putting his arms behind his back, and leaning into the microphone to sing. At times he's good for a quick mumble before a song, and on special occasions he busts out a tambourine.

Liam graciously (?) acknowledged his win on Twitter:
