[PapaJupe2k]

Ronnie James Dio would have to top my list. This guy just commands your attention and I've never heard a better metal lyracist them him. I didn't like the band Black Sabbath as much after Ozzy left, but I would much rather hear his powerful voice than Ozzy's jumbled incoherant vocals.

Great calls here.:cool: Paul is a close second in my book, that is another case where immediately you here a song and go "that can only be Paul Stanley". He is great.

My god, I haven't listened to Warrant in ages. I may have to pick up a greatest hits cd real soon.
