Now one of the leading heavy metal/ hard rock labels has released a list of the top 50 greatest metal frontmen of all time. Some make sense while other just make you shake your head like WTF are you kidding??? hes not metal. Here are the top 10:
1. Robert Plant (Band of Joy, Led Zeppelin, Rockestra, The Honeydrippers, Page and Plant, Strange Sensation, Alison Krauss)
2. Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden, Samson)
3. Ronnie James Dio (Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Dio, Heaven and Hell)
4. Axl Rose (Guns N' Roses, Hollywood Rose, L.A. Guns, Rapidfire)
5. James Hetfield (Metallica)
6. Angus Young (AC/DC) (Argue it if you don’t agree!)
7. Alice Cooper (Alice Cooper)
8. Steven Tyler (Aerosmith)
9. David Lee Roth (Van Halen)
10. Ozzy Osbourne (Black Sabbath, Ozzy)
Now I'm no expert, but how on earth do Robert Plant and Steven Tyler fall into the metal industry??? Some other on the list include:
15. Rob Halford (Judas Priest, Fight, 2wo, Halford, Bullring Brummies)
18. Henry Rollins (State of Alert, Black Flag, Henrietta Collins and the Wifebeating Childhaters, Rollins Band)
22. Lemmy (Motörhead, The Rockin' Vickers, The Head Cat)
25. Danzig (Misfits, Samhain, Danzig)
41. Alexi Laiho (Children of Bodom, Sinergy, Kylähullut, Impaled Nazarene)
I woulda put them hight on the list, especially Halford, and Lemmy.
it does make one onder who you would put on a top 50 list. lord knows i couldnt do it !!!
