But metal fans are a small subset of music fans. [move to a Dio thread?]

The fact that you can't see that Dio was a great singer proves to everybody in this thread that you have no idea what you're talking about. And good singing is pretty normal in the metal genre. Take a look at power metal, progressive metal, and heavy metal. Bands like Theocracy, Symphony X, Myrath, and the like all have fantastic singers.
