I've been listening to Heaven and Hell by black sabbath recently. I must say they are a completely different band when someone that can actually sing is fronting them. I like the Ozzy Sabbath, but Dio completely blows him out of the water. Love it.

Dio is my favourite metal singer of all time. if you haven't done so already, listen to some of the stuff he did with Rainbow. Such a powerful voice. Freaking amazing singer.

Dio isn't bad, I do like some of the stuff he has been in, especially, as you said, Rainbow.

King Diamond has an awesome voice.

Mikael Akerfeldt has great range, too.

I loved Akerfeldt in one of Ayreon's albums. James LaBrie and Devin Townsend were also in that album...as was the lead singer from Shadow Gallery (forgot his name...)

Akerfeldt and Townsend in one place - together?

...

I need a new computer...:sarcasm:

Yup, he's another one of my favourites. Also like Rob Halford. Watch the video on YouTube 'We're Stars' by Hearing Aid. Some fantastic voices in there, and you can still hear Halfords voice over the top of everyone elses.

Halford is awesome. I like Bruce Dickinson as well

Halford, Dickinson and Brian Johnson

Halford, Dickinson and Brian Johnson

Brian Johnson is criminally under-rated. Yes, Bon Scott is a f**king legend. But Johnson is f**king awesome.

 

[Non Terminator]

Johnson's not bad, I do prefer Scott.

Whoa...Good list!

Scott's awesome. But I feel people write off post-Scott AC/DC because Johnson isn't as good.

But I reckon there's few better sounds in music than hearing Brian sing, "You've been.....THUNDERSTRUCK!!!!!"

The guy has, imo, a great rock 'n roll voice and energy.

It's one of those metal opera albums. Bloody love it.

Definitely, it's so easy to write off the new era. I didn't like the new album much at all, plus I'm a sucker for classic Acca. It's a bit hard to get myself into the new era tbh.

 

[Eelementary]

I just love AC/DC. Can't go wrong in my eyes.

I need some new bands to check out...

 

[Eelementary]

Excellent drumming.

Incidentally - anyone know of anything similar to the now-defunct Pandora Project? For those unaware, it was a website in which you could type in the name of a band or song and it would recommend artists who used similar styles.

I used to use it a lot to find new bands but it's gone now.

 

[Eelementary]

There is a place - lastfm.com. Great site.

Anyway, thanks to them I discovered Blinded Colony. Never heard of them until now, bu I'm glad I did. I love 'em.

Yeah last.fm showed me a few bands. Best one was Shadow Gallery.

 

[Eelementary]

OMG I heart lastfm. They showed me a band similar to Heave Shall Burn (I love them; brutal stuff) called Naeara. Another German band. Melodic death. f**king awesome band. Never would have known about them had it not been for lastfm.
