BEST METAL VOCALIST OF ALL TIME

[Lori]

Well, certainly if Zep, Aerosmith, Van Halen, and Whitesnake are considered "metal," then the Purple should as well, and I'd agree on Gillan being missing.  However, I don't (I think they're all "hard rock") so I put my vote in for Dickinson.

Fair argument; in fact, Gillan himself would probably agree with you. Even if you don't consider DP "metal", though, there's no denying their influence on the genre. JMO...

 

But as someone who literally wore out two different copies of "Live After Death" (one LP, one cassette), I'd have a tough time arguing against Dickinson.

GIVE ELLIOTT AND COVERDALE THEIR PROPS. TYLER AND ROTH NOT AS DESERVIGN IN MY MIND BUT HEY OTHERS MAY FEEL DIFFERENTLY.

I'll get back to you on that -- first, I have to reset my screen resolution so the entire word will fit on my monitor...

[MadBuffaloDisease]

What about Bon Scott? Even Brian Johnson?

 

And if you're talking Gillian, Coverdale, etc., what about Joe Lynn Turner?

 

Don Dokken (albeit he played-off of Lynch's ass-kicking guitar wizardry)?
