This really all depends on your classification of heavy metal. A lot of those singers don't fit MY definition of heavy metal, no matter how good they are (notably rob Plant) I just dont think of led zeppelin as heavy. I thought bruce dickinson would be a bit higher, and I'm surprised james hetfield was in the 20's.

This list is an absolute farce for the fact that Anthony Kiedis is on there at all. Since when were RHCP Heavy Metal?

Halford should be number one always, just a completely amazing voice, incredible range.

You see the difference between them and the "vocalists" of today is that they sing and don't scream.

Lol. Subjective term.

This signature makes use of various clichés and/or 'emotional' lyrics/quotes, hopefully it makes me appear deep.

"06. Freddie Mercury
20. Kurt Cobain
28. Steve Perry"
Aren't metal.

"71. Fred Durst"
Okay, the fact that he's even on the list diminishes so much credibility.

As have I, it's a shame though. Soundgarden, Audioslave and his solo work before Scream were all really good. Euphoria Morning is one of my favorite albums of all time.

Surely there aren't even that many metal vocalists to make that 100 up, you'd probably not know who the fuck they are after about 25.
