Band: TOOL

I saw Billy Joel on New Years Eve at the Barclays Center Arena in Brooklyn.
It has been a while since he has done a solo concert in NYC.
He was great as he always has been.

A quick partial list of vocalists in the metal category:

Bruce Dickinson~Iron Maiden
Rob Halford~ Judas Priest, Fight, Halford
Ronnie James Dio(RIP)~ Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Dio
Ozzy Osbourne~ Black Sabbath, Ozzy ( from first Sabbath album through "Bark At The Moon")

I'm tired but off the top of my head these four stand out in the "classic Metal" category. Will add to later....

How can you neglect Michael Kiske from Helloween??
My other fave, to completely switch genres, is Andrew Eldritch from the Sisters of Mercy.

Good one! Great vocalist, I also should have included Klaus from the Scorpions and Udo from Accept......but ultimately I have to put Bruce at the top of the heap- especially back in the day:

Black Sabbath couldn't have picked a better singer to fill Ozzy's shoes. RIP Dio
