I’m not much of a metal guy these days, but I dabbled in high school. I heard about this list on the radio this morning and had to look it up. It’s bound for controversy. Freddy Mercury at #6? Scott Stapp and Fred Durst made the list but Billy Corgan didn’t? ROD STEWART AGAIN!!! This guy is haunting me lately.
I’ll further assume that punk bands are not included, since Joey Ramone didn’t make the cut.
Some of my personal favorites (other than Corgan) that are not on the list:
Pepper Keenan, Corrosion of Conformity
Phil Anselmo, Pantera
Keith Caputo, Life of Agony

How the hell is Neil Fallon of CLUTCH not on this list!?!?!? This list is not fit to wipe my ass with!
I used to be recommended this blog by my cousin.
I’m not sure whether or not this post is written by way of him as nobody else recognize such distinctive about
my difficulty. You’re amazing! Thank you!
As the medium is not limited to any particular geographical or demographic region, advertising
on internet radio would give the business an international audience
base. According to online music provider Pandora the legislation
will help end the discrimination against internet radio. Many think that having thoughts of supposed happiness that will never come is futile and
that they are only giving false hopes to those who need them the most.
Where is Eric Adams? Not in the list? so this list is bullsht
What stupid fucking shit is this????? Phil Anselmo is nowhere to be seen on the list but Fred Durst is? Fuck off… Corey Taylor is ranked less then that guy also….
Hmm is anyone else experiencing problems
with the images on this blog loading? I’m trying to figure out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
No Mike Patton, the WORLDS greatest vocalist EVER, and he has covered way wider genre’s than just Metal. And don’t tell me Mike isn’t Metal, Fantomas, Bungle and FNM all have extremely heavy tracks. This list is pathetic.
Yeah…this would be ok if it were labeled the top 100 ROCK vocalists of all time…but it says metal. Do you REALLY need me to point out how many people on the list are not even REMOTELY metal? And why are you guys whining that Phil Anselmo is not on the list??? He’s right there…#37. Jesus tap dancing CHRIST!!!
Philip Anselmo is #37
