Ok. Rod Stewart is not a metal singer!!!!!!!

and Ozzy definitley dosn't deserve to be in the top 10. And Freddy Mercury was great but not good enough for the top 10. There is a lot more I can say about this list but what do you think.

Freddie Mercury is probably the best male vocalist of all time, period, so you're definitely smoking crack.

Granted, he's not really a "metal" singer - more arena / glam rock, but eh.

Neither are about half the rest of the list.

Queen Boo · 01-19-2011, 06:21 PM

Rod Stewart oh god

s_k · 01-19-2011, 06:25 PM

Hm, I feel like Ozzy deserves to be in the top 10. Black Sabbath did some brilliant stuff. But is it metal? I think not.

MC 1989 · 01-20-2011, 11:57 AM

See thats what I mean. Most of them arn't even rock singers let alone metal.

i don't know...i mean isn't the big metal origins argument between Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin

how can you have a list of the 100 greatest "metal" vocalist and NOT have Chris Barnes on there?

The Batlord · 01-20-2011, 12:24 PM

Fred Durst?! Fred Durst?!?!?!?! **** Fred Durst! I think that needs to be said again, so **** Fred Durst. Why is he on any list other than near the top of "Great Douchebags of the 20th Century" under Hitler and above Richard Nixon. I wipe my ass with better "vocalists" than Fred "****face" Durst.

Hit Parader is still in print? Wow.

I would like a link to evidence that Hit Parader actually classifies this list of singers as 'metal' singers.
