OK, First off you are citing HIT PARADER! Are you 15 years old? Also Judas Priest replacement vocalist "Ripper" Makes the list? I believe the list should be titled "Name 100 vocalists in Heavy Metal"

15. Mick Jagger ? Although I am not familiar with Mick's solo work, I'm pretty sure the Stones have never recorded anything close to being considered metal. Sympathy for the Devil name checks the Dark One but that's a stretch. Also Steve Perry(Journey) makes the cut.

The list should be retitled"The Editors of Hit Parader name 100 people who have made albums since 1969"

Jeez, Ian Anderson has a grammy for best metal album and I don't see him listed. Even worse, Palmer himself doesn't mention this tragic oversight...

Ronnie James DIO number 10 ?
You have to be joking ...

This man has a double cd tribute that is called "Holy DIO: Tribute to the VOICE of Metal" and they put him at the 10th position...

DIO you are the best vocalist ever... King of Rock n Roll and the true VOICE of Metal...

Jeezus, Slim - a list is a list. It's not like a Rolling Stone list of best metal vocalists would be more meritorious.

As for Dio, it will be a sad day when he dies. Metal will need a new icon that stands under 5'.

The list was probably compiled by older guys who got into AC/DC back in 1975.
