Apparent generation gap. You might want to change the title to "some great singers". Just a suggestion.

Paul Shortino
David Wayne
David Reece
Chainsaw Caine
James Rivera
Mark/Marcie Free
Glenn Hughes
Marc Storace

And Ripper at #97? You must not have these in any certain order?

And Lemmy should not be put on ANY great singer list, if you are speaking on singing talent alone.

Guest

That's a joke list, right? There's a few on there that don't even sing, they rap! Zach de la Rocha and Mike Shinoda rap 99.9% of the time. Fred Durst raps 99.8% of the time.

As usual, no love for DC Cooper either.

Or Jorn Lande, Rob Rock or David Readman for that matter.

Hey man, I just found a list put out by Hit Parader and posted it. Doesn't mean I agree with it, cause I don't.

That list came from Hit Parader magazine? That explains a lot...

Lists like this are totally useless..

No Jon Oliva or Michael Sweet.

Kill these people.

A few more that should have been on the list but the magazine is too lame to know about:

Kevin Goocher
Bruce Hall
Veronica Freeman
Peter Wagner
Nils K. Rue
Alan Tecchio

Without Jorn, DC, Rob Rock, Russel Allen, Zack Stevens, Jon Oliva, James LaBrie, and Matt Barlow a Greatest Metal Singers list is completly worthless IMHO. But I've always said that Hit Parader sucks so I'm not at all suprised.

Well, when I posted that, the thread title didn't contain "Hit Parader" (I don't think). That would have explained a lot.

Yeah, I changed it because others thought it was a list that I made. I wouldn't put Durst on a metal list. I'm not stupid.

Is that the Phantom X guy? Saw them open for Dio and Fireball Ministry in Dallas and they were simply fantastic American Heavy (Power) Metal!

Kurt Cobain? Alot of these guys dont even belong on here.

Metal is my Life Number of posts : 12811 Age : 55

Is Hit Parader still around??? What about Circus???

The King Number of posts : 23281 Age : 51
