Even on his slower songs, he conveys a lot of emotion, and he still sounds great today. Not to mention, he’s one hell of a frontman. It’d be nice to see him get some more respect.

But without a question Blackie is way more different and unique than them. Also not just that his rough style is mindblowing, but he can sing cleans great too, like he did in Forever Free

Cheerios!
Without a doubt, Ronnie James Dio! Dio is not only the best metal singer, but also the best vocalist that I've ever heard, Bar none! Thee only vocalist that can transpose effortlessly from an angelic whisper into a lion's roar all in one phase is the little Giant RJD and none other.....! RIP Little Giant.

The only one that can reach that level is Dino Jelusick
The list needs to be 20. Blackie Lawless, Bobby Blitz, Paramore McCarty from Warrior, Mark Oseguera, Rob Reinhardt, Eric Knutson, and a few more should in the running. There are so many different voices to choose from.

Is this a popularity contest...I guess it is, otherwise Klaus Meine would have to be here (in his prime he'd have to be considered near the top). It's Greatest metal vocalists, right? Peter Steele has to be included too. Geoff Tate should probably be #1, but he didn't have the longevity as compared to some of the others. Others that weren't included could probably take over some of the top spots...Ian Gillan, Devin Townsend, Maynard James Keenan. Is Mike Patton a metal singer? (probably considered alternative/rock, hard rock?) I suppose you could make another list for the screamer, growler singers too! There are too many styles to consider to make a general top ten list. If this is the great singers...then it definitely misses the mark.

One of my personal favourites too! Also old skool Don Dokken, and Ron Keel.
Dio sang with every ounce of his soul, to the last breath. The father of power metal vocals. I’d also give a shout-out to the great Jeff Scott Soto. His work with Yngwie, Journey, the rockstar film, and Sons of Apollo- amazing vocalist…

Dio, Halford, and Dickinson are the logical choices for top three, in any particular order. Just dynamic range, precision, and clarity in each of their vocal styles. I do wish Tim "The Ripper" Owen had made the list, too. But ai guess he was overshadowed by his predecessor/successor, the Metal God himself. Great list overall. Your viewers have good taste!

Glad to see Kiske on this list. He is my favorite. To hear some of his best stuff, just check out A Tale That Wasn't Right and Your Turn, especially the bit after the solo. Out of this world. This is a great list, also considering that some of them are not that famous compared to others. Dio is the Freddie Mercury of heavy metal so he definitely deserves the no 1 spot.

I think it's a nice list! The top 3 is pretty obvious - to be honest the vote wouldn't have any credibility if not they are on the top 😉. I'm pleasantly surprised by the high rank of Chuck and especially Lemmy, who were damn good and special in what they did 👍. I was also pleasantly surprised by the high rank of Kiske, since I think the German musicians are often underappreciated in the Anglo-Saxon world. As the matter of fact, other German singers, like Udo, Kai, Mille or Ralf are the ones who I think are missing - but this list is a subjective public opinion, so you can't really argue with it. 🙂

Warrel Dane, Geoff Tate, and King Diamond are always tied for #1 in my book. One will have an edge over the other two when I am listening to that particular singer. Dane is the greatest singer in history that nobody really knows, or has heard of, in my opinion.

I hadn’t listened to Queensryche yet and Geoff Tate’s voice reminded me so much of David Wayne’s (early Metal Church) which I love, so beautiful. Also shoutout putting Chuck on this list because anyone that doesn’t listen to any kind of metal would probably not consider him a “great vocalist” 😂 but for his genre, he really was one of the best. Another wicked video Ruthless! 🤘
