top five for me:

(i wouldn't include bowie because he was solo but i suppose he technically had a band)

plant, daltrey, mercury, ian curtis and morrissey

i'd also say hendrix because he was part of the 'experience' but i dunno, seemed more of a solo dude to me

Ozzy was great back in the day. Jim Morrison, Liam Gallagher, Ashcroft and Moz of course.

..I think Robert Plant for me but he didn't have the same 'flair' as some of the leads...so probably Freddie Mercury for that...amazing presence...

I think Jim Morrison is pretty awesome, and a really intense performer (from the bits I've seen). If I could go to any gig from history, it would have to be a Doors gig.

I agree, all the live bits and pieces Ive seen make it look like a pretty damn good experience.

I'd go for Freddie Mercury, he was such a massive presence when onstage.

However,had his life not ended so tragically, I would have said Ian Curtis of Joy Division. From the old films of concerts I have seen of them,he had incredible stage presence too coupled with a vulnerability,which was another drawing in factor.
A great talent lost way too soon.
