So, I was told that there would be more traffic on this thread if I posted in the Open Discussion area. I think that this thread is more appropriate in the Famous Bands and Artists area, but I don't think that many people visit that area.

Anyways, this is a battle for what we feel is the best singer of all time. We all submitted our top 3 singers, and I made a list based on those submissions.

Here's the final list:

1 Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)
2 Ronnie James Dio (solo/Black Sabbath)
3 Liam Gallagher (Oasis)
4 Ian Gillan (Deep Purple)
5 Brian Johnson (AC/DC)
6 Janis Joplin (solo)
7 B.B. King (solo)
8 Geddy Lee (Rush)
9 Freddie Mercury (Queen)
10 Ozzy Osbourne (Black Sabbath)
11 Robert Plant (Led Zep)
12 Bon Scott (AC/DC)
13 David Clayton Thomas (Blood, Sweat and Tears)
14 Stevie Ray Vaughan (solo)
15 Roger Waters (Pink Floyd)
16 Thom Yorke (Radiohead)

We'll pit them against each other, two at a time, starting from the top of the list and we'll work our way down. According to my calculations, it'll take 5 rounds, with 15 separate matches.

Round #1, Match #1 -
Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) vs. Ronnie James Dio (solo/Black Sabbath)

We've already had three votes for Dio, and in the Famous Bands area, I had decided to say that 4 votes constitutes a win, but I'll probably revise that based on the amount of people I see voting on the thread.
