Who is the best rock singer?

For me, Ronnie James Dio

And it’s not even close.

I grew up with Dio. My first truly heavy metal album was The Last in Line, and as I went through my teenage years and grew into an adult, so too did I discover Ronnie James Dio’s musical heritage. If something good happened in my life, I celebrated by listening to Dio. If something bad happened, turned to Dio for support.

For me, his voice, his lyrics and his passion for the music are simply impossible to beat.

And live, the man was utterly unbeatable.

And sure, there are plenty, dozens, hundreds of other great rock vocalists out there, but if you’re asking someone who’s the best, then for each of us it’s more than just an empirical thing, it’s a personal thing.

That’ll make everyone’s answer different, but it will always make my answer Ronnie James Dio.
