Yeah Michael Sweet good pick Alexandru , he's another one I think is getting better with age... But there's so many great singers so hard to pick my top ten ?
BlackMoore82, Finally, someone that knows great vocalists; bravo...Carl was excellent! I was in a bunch of bands growing up in Chicago and I met the band with some of my bandmates, we smoked weed with the other lead guitarist Geoff Thorpe! He was so cool, Carl was cool too! th-cam.com/video/PWrLG1bMQYI/w-d-xo.html
1) Bruce Dickinson 2) Ronnie James Dio 3) Rob Halford 4) Noora Louhimo 5) Floor Jansen 6) Blackie Lawless 7) Lemmy Kilmister 8) Michael Kiske 9) Timo Kotipelto 10) Tomi Joutsen
My Top 10 underrated metal vocalists: 1- Lizzy Borden 2- Matt Barlow (Iced Earth, Ashes of Ares) 3- Mike Vescera (Loudness, Malmsteen) 4- Ray Adler (Fates Warning, Redemption) 5- John Bush 6- James Rivera (Helstar, Seven Witches) 7- Leather Leone ( Chastain) 8- Zak Stevens (Savatage) 9- Midnight (Crimson Glory) 10- Mike Howe (Metal Church) HM: - DC Cooper (Royal Hunt) - John West - Roy Khan ( Conception, Kamelot) - Robert Lowe (Candlemass, Solitude Aeturnus) - UDO - Steve Grimmett (Grim Reaper, Lionsheart)
Barlow is definitely my favorite Iced Earth singer. Nothing against Ripper Owens; what I liked from him with Iced Earth I loved, but Barlow is just way better IMO. He's a great singer.
Great collab as usual guys! 1. Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) 2. Rob Halford (Judas Priest) 3. King Diamond (King Diamond/Mercyful Fate) 4. Ronnie James Dio (Dio/Rainbow/Black Sabbath) 5. Russell Allen (Symphony X) 6. Jon Oliva (Savatage) 7. Geoff Tate (Queensryche) 8. Russ Anderson (Forbidden) 9. Michael Kiske (Helloween) 10. Layne Stanley (Alice In Chains) Hon'ble mentions: Chester Bennington (Linkin Park), Hansi Kursch (Blind Guardian), Warrell Dane (Nevermore), Andre Matos (Angra/Shaman), Joey Belladonna (Anthrax).
Some of my favorites Blackie lawless Phil anselmo Tom araya Rob halford Ozzy Dio James hetfield Joey belladonna Bruce dickinson Good list bryce and pete awesome to see you two collabarate
I had the opportunity to meet Ronnie in 2002 and he was easily the nicest musician I've ever met. A true gentleman who really cared about his fans. A moment I'll never forget and miss him dearly. I have Holy Diver signed by him
Nice to see Tony Martin mentioned. Powerful, clear voice. Pete - you made a great point that if Tony was in a different band, he might have gotten more acclaim. If you remember, he was supposed to have been the singer in Blue Murder and actually wrote "Valley of the Kings". Too bad it didn't happen...it might have elevated that album beyond its underrated status.

One new fave I didn't know of until recently is David Wayne from Metal Church. Not the sort of vocals I'd normally be drawn to, but I grew to like his style more and more.
My favourite vocalists, no pertcular order: - Michael Kiske - Ralf Schepers (especially the Gamma Ray period) - Bruce Dickinson - Anneke van Giersbergen - Eric Clayton - Jon Oliva - Gus Chambers - Sharon den Adel - Tarja Turunen - Alice Cooper (I don't know, if you can count him as a metal singer, but Brutal Planet was Metal \m/)
@@lordorochimaru9431 Oh, Dio is a fantastic singer and I love his stuff. He was a better singer than most on my list. But I listen to the songs of the others more frequently. That is also the reason why I have Tarja in my list, because I prefer the earlier Nightwish period.
Love the classic metal vocalist like Dio, Bruce, Rob etc. there is though modern singers that are incredible as well. Tatiana from Jinjer is a stunning vocalist, with wonderful cleans, insane growls and immense stage presence. Incredible live performer as well.
Cool on Pete for including John Arch. Definitely one of the best and most original singers in metal. 1. Dio 2. Geoff Tate 3. Bruce Dickinson 4. John Arch 5. Ray Alder 6. Russell Allen 7. Rob Halford 8. Tony Harnell 9. Midnight 10. Mark Boals
Love many of Dickinson's earlier maiden (up to Seven sons - but Fear of the D, is ok too). But can honestly don't understand how he is rated so high as a vocalist. Other than he - as being Maiden vocalist - has a huge fan base. And, Yes Ronnie should top the chart, though he is off the charts, as they say.
@@benedictdonald4338 I don't get that sense at all. I've loved Hudson Valley Squares, Monster's Den, Friday Funhouse, and he posts on average 3 or 4 videos a day. This year is channel has skyrocketed from about 10K to over 60K subscribers. Pete seems energized and has lots of new and exciting content,
Love all the 'inevitable' singers but I gotta say that Blackie Lawless is one of my favorites too, definitely one of the most unique voices in Metal ever!
Great picks Bryce and Pete. Here are a few more not mentioned. Harry (the tyrant) Conklin - Jag Panzer Bobby (leather lungs ) Lucas - Seven Witches , Attacker James Neal - Malice Parramore McCarty - Warrior Rob Rock - Impellitteri , Axel Rudy Pell, M.A.R.S.
Being a Priest fan for 40 years now and Priest being my all time favorite band and Halford my personal all time favorite metal singer....there's no doubt that Dio is the absolute best metal vocalist of the genre. I was blessed to see Dio a few times back in the 80's and early 90's the guy is phenomenal ...perfect voice..pitch ...raw power the total package! Halford is one in my book and Dio second.

Good to see u guys. One of my fave vocalists has always been both Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. For the last few days, that's changed. Until I started binge listening to Whitesnake last couple of days. David Coverdale is so awesome.
1. Rob Halford 2. Ozzy Osbourne - sounds unique and different on every song but you know it's Ozzy 3. Joe Elliot - High n Dry 4. Bruce Dickinson 5. Bon Scott
I clicked on this video because of the title....but my first thought before doing so was " if these guys have any credit...i should see Geoff Tates Name"....BOOM! #6... You Boys NAILED it!
Great video guys, I really enjoyed this. And yes, that is the original album cover for 'tooth and nail', It was the cover I got when I purchased the cassette.
My Top 10 in no particular order; Leather Leone (Chastain), Eric Wagner (Trouble), Matt Barlow (Iced Earth), Midnight (Crimson Glory), Rob Halford, Ronnie James Dio, Geoff Tate , John Arch (Fates Warning), King Diamond, & Jon Oliva (Savatage).
Really happy to see pete here. Love both of your lists as you both covered a large variety of vocalists. I went for both extreme metal vocalists and vocalists from other subgenres My picks in no particular order Mikael akerfeldt-opeth, bloodbath and storm corrosion Bruce dickinson-iron maiden and solo Rob halford-judas priest, halford and fight Mark osegueda-death angel Matt Barlow-iced earth, ashes of ares and pyramaze Nick Holmes-paradise lost and bloodbath Ray alder-fates warning and redemption Kam Lee-mantas and massacre Anders strokirk-necrophobic David vincent-morbid angel
This was very difficult but 10. David Wayne RIP 9. Layne Staley RIP 8. Udo 7. Jon Oliva 6. Ozzy 5. Geoff Tate 80s 4. Bruce Dickinson 3. Ronnie James Dio RIP 2. Rob Halford 1. King Diamond
Scanning through all the comments and no one having Ozzy anywhere is a bit surprising to me. He has such a pure heavy metal voice that is very underrated to me.
A very subjective title !! It encompasses many anomalies of a vocalist, front man, stage craft and performer. And many other aspects. Im sure the best will come from the 70s & 80s. Killer era. Love your video Pete. Cheers guys. Kim Melbourne,Australia.
My Top 10: 1. Bruce Dickinson 2. Rob Halford 3. Ronnie James Dio 4. Geoff Tate 5. King Diamond 6. Eric Adams 7. Michael Kiske 8. James Hetfield 9. Hansi Kürsch 10. Tom Araya
Guys, once again, hitting the nail.... Dio and Halford on #1 and #2...love it! very true words from Pete about RJD, who is sadly missed So here are my Top 10: 1. Dio 2. Halford 3. Dickinson 4. Tate 5. Kiske 6. Tony Martin 7. Hansi Kürsch 8. Doro Pesch 9. John Busch 10. Björn "Speed" Strid
1. Dio - So much range over an amazing career. Met Dio and he was so nice. It's a no brainer for me. 2. Rob Halford - I love Stained Class. My fav. Priest record. I also love Fight. Yes, Into the Pit. 3. Geoff Tate - Such a moody, sonic voice. A bummer the band went stale. But the first 5 'ryche albums. Perfect. 4. Ozzy - A unique and distinct voice. Ozzy Sab is the coolest. THE coolest. 5. Dokken - Yup. Under Lock and Key. Although it was Up From The Ashes that got me into Dokken. 6. Paul Di'anno - I heard Paul Maiden before Bruce Maiden and, it's just how it is. Bruce is great, just not for me. 7. UDO - Such a weird aggression with UDO and Accept. Son of a Bitch! 8. Joey Tempest - After The Final Countdown I can do without. But early Europe is so great! 9. Tarja Turunen - Jaw dropped when I heard Oceanborn. I'm not the biggest power metal fan, but I love her voice. 10. Mike Patton - Sure, Faith No More is fringe. But his voice is so unique. So dangerous and powerful. Klaus Meine, Matt Barlow, Dee Snider, Rock n' Rolf Kasparek (not the best singer, but I love Running Wild that much)
Great picks guys! King Diamond is my number one. Here are just a few of my faves that weren’t mentioned: Bobby Blitz Martin Van Drunen Mikael Akerfeldt Karl Willets AA Nemtheanga Johan Hegg Dagon
Suzuka Nakamoto of Babymetal will be on this list someday. Their first album was recorded when she was 13 or 14, she's only 23 now. A woman's voice isn't even fully mature until the late 20s. I mean, if you consider her Metal. She is a pop singer in a pop-metal fusion group :) But the girl can sing. She was only 16 here th-cam.com/video/g2372C5PJLM/w-d-xo.html
Top 10 underrated metal singers 1. Eric Adams (Manowar) 2. Midnight (Crimson Glory) 3. Steve Grimmett (Grim Reaper) 4. John Stewart (Slauter Xstroyes) 5. James Rivera (Helstar) 6. Jocke Lundholm (220 Volt) 7. Alex Savage (Witch Cross) 8. William Rodrick McKay (Griffin) 9. Dan Dark (Torch) 10. Glory North (Glory Bell’s Band)
Two of my favorite hosts together talking about vocalists… this one is tough but here we go. 10. John Arch - Fates Warning 9. Mikhail Zhitnyakov - Aria (Now) 8. Valery Kipelov - Aria (Past), Kipelov (Now) 7. Klaus Meine - Scorpions 6. Mikael Åkerfeldt - Opeth 5. Don Dokken - Dokken 4. Christer Göransson - Mindless Sinner 3. Rob Halford - Judas Priest, Fight, Halford 2. Bruce Dickinson - Iron Maiden 1. Geoff Tate - Queensrÿche There it is folks!
Unleashed in the East is a killer album from start to finish. This issue about Rob's vocals is definitely a misnomer because you can hear bootlegs (I have one titled The Ripper) and raw stuff on TH-cam from the same time period and he sounds virtually the same! Great show and some great choices!
GREAT pick with Leather Leone. She's fantastic metal singer and as good as the top male singers and I love Chastain. Love Tony Martin too one of the tightest technical singers. And IMO nobody touches Don Dokken in his prime when it comes to melodic soulful stuff.
1. Bruce Dickinson 2. Chris Cornell 3. Layne Staley 4. Ray Alder 5. Joey Belladonna 6. Geoff Tate 7. Warrel Dane 8. Mike Howe 9. John Bush 10. Todd La Torre
One guy that I am always surprised who doesn't get named in these is D.C. Cooper (Royal Hunt, Silent Force). Rumor has it he was in the running for the Judas Priest gig before he decided to go with Royal Hunt. Anyway, my list in no particular order...DC Cooper, Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford, Geoff Tate, Joey Belladonna, Ray Alder, Ronnie James Dio, David Coverdale, Michael Kiske, Todd La Torre.
Good list guys. My Top Ten are: 10. Paul Di'anno 9. Warrel Dane 8. Matt Barlow 7. Halford 6. Bobby Blitz 5. Erik A.K. 4. Dio 3. Tim Ripper Owens 2. King Diamond 1. Bruce Dickinson
Eric Adams, David DeFeis, Mark Shelton, Jutta Weinhold, Marko Hietala, Tony Moore, Ann Boleyn, Daniel Heiman, Elisa Martin, Jioti Parcharidis... oh, there are plenty more, also many from your list, of course...
I have at least 98% concurrence with Pete about everything, so this was an easy one for me. Also, Bryce is quite knowledgeable of the classic metal era, particularly at such a young age. Keep up the great work.
"Liked" for the John Arch on on the list. Clicked because I saw "awaken the guardian" in thumb nail. Battles for my #1 album of all time against "Master of puppets".
1. Ronnie James Dio 2. Rob Halford 3. Bruce Dickinson ('79- '05) 4. Geoff Tate ('83-'88) 5. Glenn Danzig ('84-'94) 6. Klaus Meine ('72-'93) 7. King Diamond 8. John Oliva 9. Messiah Marcolin 10. Ian Gillan (Born Again) 10. Jorn Lande Honorable mentions: 11. Biff Byford 12. Tim "Ripper" Owens 13. Ralph Scheepers 14. Michael Kiske 15. Phil Anselmo ('88-'92) 16. Ozzy Osbourne (before auto-tune) 17. Matt Barlow 18. Leather Leone 19. Midnight 20. John Bush
@FatalPies A lot of my choices are somewhat based on what bands I like and how frequently I've listened to those bands. Crimson Glory is far from being one of my favorites. I suppose that if it's a contest for you then you can always watch American Idol. There are plenty of great, cheesy singers who sing in cheesy bands with cheesy songs. You can consult some "authority" figure to tell you what to like, or you can always be honest with yourself by thinking for yourself. Maybe you'll live long enough to figure that out someday, boy.
Maybe not all singers of my list are ‘’metal’’ But here’s my list : 1 Dio 2 Messiah Marcolin 3 Rob Halford 4 Bruce Dickinson 5 Layne Staley 6 Robert Lowe 7 Blackie Lawless 8 David Coverdale 9 Mark Slaughter 10 King Diamond
Mine are 1. Ronnie James Dio 2. Rob Halford 3. Bruce Dickinson 4. Ozzy Osbourne(w/Black Sabbath only) 5. King Diamond 6. Bobby Blitz Ellsworth 7. Geoff Tate 8. John Bush 9. Phil Anselmo 10. Jon Oliva
If just for metal, this is my FAVORITE top ten: 1. R.J.D. 2. Geoff Tate 3. J.S.S. 4. Steve Grimmett 5. DC Cooper 6. Michael Matijevic 7. Rob Halford 8. Ralf Scheepers 9. Michael Kiske 10. Tony Moore + Michael Sweet Ted Pilot John West David Wayne Ray Gillen

This is a crossover that I never knew I wanted until now.

The ultimate crossover doesn’t exi-
What about that guy from Cryptic Slaughter 🤣😂.....but it fits the music
Blackie Lawless is the most underrated metal singer. Blackie rules!
Thank you for mentioning Warrel Dane. He's definitely in my top 10.
Speaking of vocalist's people rarely talk about, the late Carl Albert from Vicious Rumors
(1986-1995).
Absolutely!
Such a killer band
Best of all time
Agree!

Pete is always a great guest. Nice to see you two collaborating together more and more.
Eric Adams is my favorite hands down but an honorable mention goes to Harry “The Tyrant” Conklin
Michael Sweet in my opinion deserves to be mentioned along with Dio, Halford and Dickinson as one of the all time great Metal vocalists. 😁🎸🤘

You should check out Reverend. Thier first album is better than solid and their second kills it.
Yeah ,I'm old ,but just started really listening to metal church,good shit!!
He was breathing fire in those Metal Church albums
His screams on Battalions are awesome!
Thank you for mentioning Jørn Lande! He is a national treasure here in Norway. Great show!!
John Bush is my favourite. Great to see him getting some recognition there.

Dio and Halford sharing the #1 spot, as they should. If I was asked to pick between the two, I would probably go into shock and fall to the ground.
I totally agree on those 2 being 1st…then below them in no order i put dickinson,midnight,michael vescera..theres so many
Love all the 'inevitable' singers but I gotta say that Blackie Lawless is one of my favorites too, definitely one of the most unique voices in Metal ever!

Tony Moore is another superb vocalist. His performance in Thundersteel and The Privilege of Power is amazing.
Agreed
Being a Priest fan for 40 years now and Priest being my all time favorite band and Halford my personal all time favorite metal singer....there's no doubt that Dio is the absolute best metal vocalist of the genre.

@@allensaunders449 yeah faith no more isn’t either. Maybe mr bungle depending what album you’re talking about
Nice call with that Immolation singer
Good to see u guys. One of my fave vocalists has always been both Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. For the last few days, that's changed. Until I started binge listening to Whitesnake last couple of days. David Coverdale is so awesome.
1. Rob Halford
2. Ozzy Osbourne - sounds unique and different on every song but you know it's Ozzy
3. Joe Elliot - High n Dry
4. Bruce Dickinson
5. Bon Scott
It is really great that you and Pete got together as I subscribe to both of your channels.
I clicked on this video because of the title....but my first thought before doing so was " if these guys have any credit...i should see Geoff Tates Name"....BOOM! #6... You Boys NAILED it!
Good show, fantastic pics by both of you🤘
Great video guys, I really enjoyed this. And yes, that is the original album cover for 'tooth and nail', It was the cover I got when I purchased the cassette.
My Top 10 in no particular order; Leather Leone (Chastain), Eric Wagner (Trouble), Matt Barlow (Iced Earth), Midnight (Crimson Glory), Rob Halford, Ronnie James Dio, Geoff Tate , John Arch (Fates Warning), King Diamond, & Jon Oliva (Savatage).
Really happy to see pete here. Love both of your lists as you both covered a large variety of vocalists. I went for both extreme metal vocalists and vocalists from other subgenres
My picks in no particular order
Mikael akerfeldt-opeth, bloodbath and storm corrosion
Bruce dickinson-iron maiden and solo
Rob halford-judas priest, halford and fight
Mark osegueda-death angel
Matt Barlow-iced earth, ashes of ares and pyramaze
Nick Holmes-paradise lost and bloodbath
Ray alder-fates warning and redemption
Kam Lee-mantas and massacre
Anders strokirk-necrophobic
David vincent-morbid angel
This was very difficult but
10. David Wayne RIP
9. Layne Staley RIP
8. Udo
7. Jon Oliva
6. Ozzy
5. Geoff Tate 80s
4. Bruce Dickinson
3. Ronnie James Dio RIP
2. Rob Halford
1. King Diamond
Man, it was great to hear you mention Mike Vescera and Mark Osegueda! They are in my top 10.
Scanning through all the comments and no one having Ozzy anywhere is a bit surprising to me. He has such a pure heavy metal voice that is very underrated to me.
Ozzy is more of a frontman than an actual singer. That's why Sabbath was able to expand their sound with Dio and Tony Martin. Ozzy was very limited.
@@johnstrika9170 your smoking hella dope. What cause he doesn’t have that high pitch 100lbs sack of shit sound he don’t count!?! come on son
@@bodhi8297 Agree man.
A very subjective title !!
It encompasses many anomalies of a vocalist, front man, stage craft and performer. And many other aspects.
Im sure the best will come from the 70s & 80s.
Killer era.
Love your video Pete.
Cheers guys.

The first Anthrax song I ever listened to was Only with John Bush on vocals, always thought he was underrated. It was cool seeing him on this list.
Someone FINALLY mentioned Leather Leone!
Guys, once again, hitting the nail.... Dio and Halford on #1 and #2...love it!
very true words from Pete about RJD, who is sadly missed
So here are my Top 10:
1. Dio
2. Halford
3. Dickinson
4. Tate
5. Kiske
6. Tony Martin
7. Hansi Kürsch
8. Doro Pesch

1. Dio - So much range over an amazing career. Met Dio and he was so nice. It's a no brainer for me.
2. Rob Halford - I love Stained Class. My fav. Priest record. I also love Fight. Yes, Into the Pit.
3. Geoff Tate - Such a moody, sonic voice. A bummer the band went stale. But the first 5 'ryche albums. Perfect.
4. Ozzy - A unique and distinct voice. Ozzy Sab is the coolest. THE coolest.
5. Dokken - Yup. Under Lock and Key. Although it was Up From The Ashes that got me into Dokken.
6. Paul Di'anno - I heard Paul Maiden before Bruce Maiden and, it's just how it is. Bruce is great, just not for me.
7. UDO - Such a weird aggression with UDO and Accept. Son of a Bitch!
8. Joey Tempest - After The Final Countdown I can do without. But early Europe is so great!
9. Tarja Turunen - Jaw dropped when I heard Oceanborn. I'm not the biggest power metal fan, but I love her voice.
10. Mike Patton - Sure, Faith No More is fringe. But his voice is so unique. So dangerous and powerful.
Klaus Meine, Matt Barlow, Dee Snider, Rock n' Rolf Kasparek (not the best singer, but I love Running Wild that much)
Great picks guys! King Diamond is my number one. Here are just a few of my faves that weren’t mentioned:
Bobby Blitz
Martin Van Drunen
Mikael Akerfeldt
Karl Willets
AA Nemtheanga

Suzuka Nakamoto of Babymetal will be on this list someday. Their first album was recorded when she was 13 or 14, she's only 23 now. A woman's voice isn't even fully mature until the late 20s. I mean, if you consider her Metal. She is a pop singer in a pop-metal fusion group :) But the girl can sing. She was only 16 here th-cam.com/video/g2372C5PJLM/w-d-xo.html

Love his vocals. Very fitting for Candlemass.
Two of my favorite hosts together talking about vocalists… this one is tough but here we go.

There it is folks!
Geoff Tate especially from '83-'88.
@@kevinbrown1893 Golden Years Tate!
Tate was untouchable.
Unleashed in the East is a killer album from start to finish. This issue about Rob's vocals is definitely a misnomer because you can hear bootlegs (I have one titled The Ripper) and raw stuff on TH-cam from the same time period and he sounds virtually the same! Great show and some great choices!
Great list, just to mention another great singer who died young is Carl Albert from Vicious Rumors. Great band and such a great voice.
How about Klaus Meine (Scorpions), Eric Emery (Meytal), or David Coverdale
That's sick you have Pete Pardo on
Another honorable mention is the singer from the band Toxik. I’m not sure what his name is but I did get to see them in concert back in the day.
Assuming the second singer on "Think This"
GREAT pick with Leather Leone. She's fantastic metal singer and as good as the top male singers and I love Chastain. Love Tony Martin too one of the tightest technical singers. And IMO nobody touches Don Dokken in his prime when it comes to melodic soulful stuff.
1. Bruce Dickinson
2. Chris Cornell
3. Layne Staley
4. Ray Alder
5. Joey Belladonna
6. Geoff Tate
7. Warrel Dane
8. Mike Howe
9. John Bush
10. Todd La Torre
I gotta say you two are my favorite pairups of music topics youtube!
Some great choices. Fun watch.
One guy that I am always surprised who doesn't get named in these is D.C. Cooper (Royal Hunt, Silent Force). Rumor has it he was in the running for the Judas Priest gig before he decided to go with Royal Hunt.
Anyway, my list in no particular order...DC Cooper, Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford, Geoff Tate, Joey Belladonna, Ray Alder, Ronnie James Dio, David Coverdale, Michael Kiske, Todd La Torre.
I met John Arch at a Kansas concert once. Really nice guy.
Good list guys. My Top Ten are:
10. Paul Di'anno
9. Warrel Dane
8. Matt Barlow
7. Halford
6. Bobby Blitz
5. Erik A.K.
4. Dio
3. Tim Ripper Owens
2. King Diamond
1. Bruce Dickinson
Eric Adams, David DeFeis, Mark Shelton, Jutta Weinhold, Marko Hietala, Tony Moore, Ann Boleyn, Daniel Heiman, Elisa Martin, Jioti Parcharidis... oh, there are plenty more, also many from your list, of course...
I have at least 98% concurrence with Pete about everything, so this was an easy one for me. Also, Bryce is quite knowledgeable of the classic metal era, particularly at such a young age. Keep up the great work.
No Devin Townsend? Regardless, I've been following the content from both of you and loving it. Great video and I'm looking forward to more!
Yep, he was in my honorable mentions at the end.
"Liked" for the John Arch on on the list.
Clicked because I saw "awaken the guardian" in thumb nail.
Battles for my #1 album of all time against "Master of puppets".

@FatalPies A lot of my choices are somewhat based on what bands I like and how frequently I've listened to those bands. Crimson Glory is far from being one of my favorites. I suppose that if it's a contest for you then you can always watch American Idol. There are plenty of great, cheesy singers who sing in cheesy bands with cheesy songs. You can consult some "authority" figure to tell you what to like, or you can always be honest with yourself by thinking for yourself. Maybe you'll live long enough to figure that out someday, boy.
Excellent video thanks👍
Bruce Dickinson
Rob Halford
Dio
Chuck Billy
Joey Belladonna
James LaBrie
Geoff Tate
Erik AK
Sebastian Bach
Mark Osegueda
With all respect......Joey Belladonna over Geoff Tate...NO
Great show💯
I'd love to see a similar video on drummers, bassists, rhythm and lead guitarists as well. Just a recommendation!
