are all fairly old(or dead) now

Your Chris Cornell, Maynard Keenan, Scott Weiland, Serj Tankian, Mike Patton, Layne Staley are all from bands that started 25-30+ years ago.

I can't think of a modern band(first release post-2000) that has an all-time great frontman. Maybe someone like Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend or Annie Clark of St Vincent, but that would be more for their overall talent, not necessarily just as a vocalist/frontman/woman.
