Hit Parader

[Tiger]

As I normally do when I reach another 1000 posts, I have decided to start a topic. As everyone I can see, I'm now at 5,000 as of this post. This time I'm not giving advice. Instead, I am talking about something that is close to my heart, metal! These are the guys who make you want to bang your head, climb a stairway to heaven, or have some love in an elevator. Without these awesome vocalists, we wouldn't have such awesome hits as "Enter Sandman", "November Rain", "Silent Lucidity", "Tom Sawyer", "In The End", "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing", and "Mama I'm Coming Home" just to name a few. They're loud. They're unapologetic. And they know how to rock!

Mmm, I think I better get back to my Beyonce & Britney Cd's, because I only recognise about 20 on that list!

Queen, Guns and Roses & the Scorpions would be the only one's I could actually listen to though!

I used to like Britney until she became a skank. I like Beyonce.

 

I'm actually quite eclectic when it comes to music, but metal is my favorite.

[Former Member]

Some of my fav band's in there. Though I would call it more a rock list than metal.

[clumber]

Yeah, a lot of those are more rock than metal.

 

(And some of them like Aerosmith are bairly even Rock, really).

 

 

Martin

Alot of great artists on this list! However, I agree that I wouldn't classify all of them as metal. Many/most could probably more accurately be classified simply as "Rock."

 

I used to like Britney until she became a skank.

That's funny; I only liked her after she became a skank. Seriously, her last two albums have been by far her best IMO. In fact I bought them. I wouldn't have dreamed of owning any of her earlier stuff.

 

I like Beyonce.

She's okay.

06. Freddie Mercury- Queen. The best of the best. Total showman.
