My top 6 I reckon:

1. Halford
2. Dio
= 3. Dickinson
= 3. Ozzy
5. King Diamond
6. Russ North

Come on, King Diamond isn't better than Russ North!

He is Jon.

North is a siren, KD is an oscillator.

My list isn't a "who's better" list - if it was, then Dickinson would clearly be "better" than Ozzy. It's who I prefer, and King's voice has a lot more identity and uniqueness. Russ North is amazing (and probably the best live singer I've ever seen!) but there is nothing particularly outstanding about the way he uses it.

1. Dio
2. Halford
3. Bobby Blitz
4. Bruce Dickinson
5. Russ Anderson
6. Cronos
7. Me

Okay, when you put it like that, I understand. King Diamond is definitely unique indeed and there's no one quite like him; I was just thinking on technical ability of singing nice I'd obviously put Russ North (and many others) above the King!

Oh god, not this macarbe sharade again... we all loves Dio and Kingy, the end.

This man's head is screwed on the right way. Greenways voice is fucking insanely violent!
Definately my favourite extreme metal vocalist.

There's too many to mention, but some of my fav's are:

John Bush - Anthrax, Armoured (Armored) Saint
Lemmy
Phil Anselmo (You all probably hate me for saying that)
Chunk Billy
Dio
Chuck Schuldiner
Max Cavelera
Matt Damon from Iced Earth (forgot his real second name)
Barney Greenway (obviously)
Chris Barnes
Bruce Dickinson

In no order

Barney Greenway
David Vincent
Sy Keeler
Rob Halford
Chuck Billy
Donald Duck

Yeah, for r33lz

Not enough KD parades.

Though yeah, North is obviously a better singer. I just like more Fate/Diamond stuff.

Matt Barlow (Iced Earth)
Jorn Lande
Silvio Massaro (Vanishing Point, Aussie melodic metal band)
Mille Petrozza
Hansi Kursch (Blind Guardian)
Chris Reese (Reth, Leeds-based grindcore band)

Anselmo is good. He's the best on The Great Southern Trendkill.

Yeah, that's album's fucking metal, only for proper men.

You mean it's shit, and for blokes that think being a man requires army trousers and race issues.
