They're all very great bands. Most of them listed are Power Metal. I would highly recommend giving Avantasia a listen too out of all these bands as it's more than a normal band. Tobias Sammet has guest vocalists on just about every song and his song writing is just brilliant.

nope dont like em....definitely not power metal...

you want good hard metal, with a great singer try Flotsam and Jetsam...makes those guys look like little kids playing at music.

James Hetfield...Metallica
Bon Scott...AC/DC
Dave Mustaine...MegaDeth
Charlie Daniels...Charlie Daniels Band
Phil Anselmo..Pantera



James hetfield....a great singer..... :rofl :rofl

sorry but that guy is a horrible singer...just not quite as bad a lenny.

don't get me wrong I like the old Metallica quite a bit...but not for James' singing.

same with Megadeth one of my favorite bands....but a "singer" Dave is not.

none of those guys are remotely in the class Of Jeff Tate

except the singer for Flotsam and jetsam...that guy can sing. :aok

if you have never heard of Flotsam and Jetsam  and you like fast hard thrash metal...they blow metallica and megadeth away. :rock

the singer actually can sing  :D

he was awesome..I think Jeff Tate is a little bit better though.

My favorite as you know is Robert Plant...but I have no issue with saying Jeff Tate and Freddy where Technically better singers.

I would say Jeff Tate, Bruce Dickenson, Freddy Mercury,  and the Guy from Flotsam and Jetsam..(Eric A K I think his name is)
 are "technically" the best of the best.
they have the absolute best range, can carry insanely long notes, at least 2 of them were trained in Opera Singing( I am sure you know which 2)

Robert Plant is right behind them though.

 :huh   :rofl      Please, Freddie's "preferred" vocal range went from F2 (Bass) to F6 (Soprano High).     He preferred the "falsetto" of F5 (Tenor), especially after he started smoking.    Mind you, Freddie's vocal range was 3.5 Octaves.

EDIT:   Here is what I needed, from Queen's latest book.

Low Register:
F2, G2, G#2, A2

Upper Chest Register:
C5, C#5, D5, Eb5, E5, F5, F#5

Head Voice/Falsetto Register:
G5, G#5, A5, E6 (No, Bb5, B5, C6, C#6 & D6) - Notes hit Live.

Gwar is nowhere near death metal.

So, before you you start making accusations of how many of their songs, I've listened to, I'll tell you now that I have been to more Gwar shows before you were finished soiling your diapers than you will ever get to in a lifetime.

Aside from that...

Freddie Mercury
Robert Plant
Paul Bruce Dickinson

I will laugh.  Queen is the #1 selling artist in Britain and Japan.    Your numbers do not add up and wikipedia is hardly a reliable source.

Edit:   You are confusing the Bee Ge's six consecutive number one's off of Saturday Night Fever with something you've made up.   If you want to talk about songwriting records steer yourself towards Holland-Dozier-Holland.   THEY have had more number ones than the Bee Ge's or any band.

Freddy and Jeff and Eric A K and Robert easily out sing him sorry.

Best lead singer ever is one who can still sell out and rock out wembley stadium 41 years after his first big hit.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2et5DfphOQ

Paul Rodgers is the correct answer because he delivers live what others can only do in the studio.

He has left all of his contemporaries (and many much later singers) tuning ever lower as he continues to deliver the goods in concert.

listen to some Queensrÿche and if you still think Barry can sing with him...then your just to stubborn to see the truth when its right in front of you.

Hell even I admit that they are better then Robert Plant, who is my favorite singer by far....

This is where you and I will have to agree to disagree  :D

I go with the Zep as a favorite all day long, but to relegate Michael Jackson to the "sucks" category is a bit harsh.

Lilwaynes carter 4 was written by him I can show picture proof on the back of his album.  Of course it want all by him but to say every srtist writes their own songs is a joke.  Plus music is so opinionated I love showing my rap colors :)

While not the best singer, a personal favorite of mine was Lux Interior, the front man for The Cramps.   He didn't have a great voice, certainly not in the same category as many of the names already mentioned but I don't think I've seen a showman more perfectly tuned to his particular audience.

For those not familiar with The Cramps, played a mix of 50's rock 'n roll with a liberal dosing of late night TV and B-movie horror schtick.  They're most famous concert was in 1978 when on a west coast tour the stopped and gave a free show for the patients at the Napa State Mental Hospital.

I saw them at The Fillmore in San Francisco on Halloween night when I was in college, it was a surreal experience, there was even a patron dressed up like the old man off the cover of Led Zeppelin IV, complete with bundle of sticks.  It was as if the ghost of rock 'n roll was haunting the Fillmore that night, you'd just catch glimpses of him in the balcony alcoves out of the corner of your eye.  

For two hours that night Lux held court, always one to let the freak flag fly he had that crowd in the palm of his hand.

lick boots much?  I'm sure you're getting the pat on the top of your head about now.  Let me golf clap for you too....     

The best part of this thread is to see who and why people chose who they think is the "best eva".  Best can be mean vocals to one person while the other thinks being best is more about persona, stage presence, acrobatics, etc. 

Steve Hogarth of the British band Marillion is hard to beat for all he has to offer, in my book but again its matter of opinion.  ;)   Till Lindemann of Rammstein has awesome stage presence, but lacks in the vocal ability, imo.

well the music is still the same despite the autobiography. if I was to hate the art according to the artist's life I would hate Amy whinehouse, Elvis, Freddie mercury, Arnold schwarzeneggerr...
I know the guy had a whole life with his mistress and has always cheated on his wife and I hate the stupid idiot for that but I still laugh when i hear "put that cookie down! now!" I go insane when Freddie makes that improv in that awesome "Prophet's song" still think elvis is alive somewhere  :noid and can't help but apreciate the sound of Amy's voice (when she recorded it and was still part human)
