Vinnie B Trask Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I didn't look at the list yet. If having a recognizable voice count, he belongs there. Otherwise, it's just popular nonsense, I mean whether you like Queen or not having Freddie Mercury at 18 speaks for its self-regarding that list. You look at metal specialist like Ronnie James Dio and have to acknowledge his tremendous vocal talent and I bet he ain"t on the list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie B Trask Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Whether you like this kind of hard rock music or not, give a listen to the lead vocals of Ronnie James Dio collaborating with Ritchie Blackmore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Not a serious list at all. It's a Rolling Stone flavored pc / hipster influenced list. Dillon at 7? ....but Karen Carpenter at 94?......not even listed in the top 100 are Rita Coolidge?...Burton Cummings? ( a massive ommission ).....Olivia Newton John?.....Glen Frey ( there may be no singer who can sing a rock & roll song and a smooth melodic gem ( like New Kid in town ) better than Frey did....no Neil Diamind?.....no Meat Loaf?.....etc etc etc. P.S. on my list, and probably any objective list, Eric Carmen would be way up towards the top.

Raspbernie Posted August 1, 2022 Author Share Posted August 1, 2022 How many comedians have done an impersonation of Dylan's high-pitched nasally and almost unintelligible voice? Are these homages to one of the "world's greatest" singers? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew C. Clark Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Still waiting for Elf which made only 3 albums (featuring the late Ronnie James Dio) "Carolina County Ball" (1973) & the final album "Trying To Burn The Sun" (1974) & then Ronnie joined Blackmore's Rainbow in 1975. Both albums were on MGM Records way back when BUT NOT on Apple iTunes as of yet. The self -titled Elf (from 1972) is there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie B Trask Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 You have your Dio down Matthew! It is some good stuff! Although I am not a big metal fan, I always liked Dio in all his forms. Including some of his own band's stuff with Vivian Campbell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew C. Clark Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Saw the late Dio NOT once BUT twice!! First at Pine Knob Music Theater near Pontiac, Michigan (which was my very first time down there BUT I had to stand in the seat NOT sit down because I could not see what was going on) back in late August of 1985 during the "Sacred Heart" tour which has a lighting dragon spectacular!! Also in Saginaw, MI at the old Saginaw Civic Center in October of 1985 (when I had to use earplugs because the Civic Center is so LOUD) BUT Dio did not do the song "We Rock" (from 1984 "The Last In Line") that Dio did at Pine Knob as the 3rd & final encore!! Former rock group Rough Cutt was the opening act for both shows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
