How could I forget King Diamond 
BTW I'd include John Bush too, but he doesn't seem to be doing anything as of late.

Hell yeah Chuck is one of my favorites too, I have everything they put out I heard they regretted Demonic for being so dark but I love it, a slap in the face to those who were becoming more commercial. Respect.

I actually did one time, when Anthrax opened for him. I wasn't even paying attention to the "show" or the songlist or whatever, I just found myself watching him and marveling about what this man has done for metal. Watching him hit every note and the crowd worshiping him made me elated, I walked out of there happy, so wish he wasn't gone.Great post!
Number 7 cuts me up. I never got to see Ronnie perform live.
RIP Ronnie

Not quite done yet...
1. Bruce Dickinson. Fun guy, top notch performer and knows how to get the audience going.
2. John Bush. Goes apeshit onstage yet sings amazing.
3. Phil Anselmo. A combination of suave cool cat and bad ass. Pretty funny banter between songs too.
4. Howlin' Pelle from The Hives. Not the best of singers. He can however handle a crowd and his Jaggeresque strutt is quite awsome - pure fun.
5. The Dev. I miss his skullet though.
6. Mike Patton. What has been mentioned above. Entering the stage in a wheelchair and complaining over late nights for a buch of old people gives him 5 out of 5.
7. Randy Blythe. He has really grown into the role as a frontman over the years.
8. Ginger from The Wildhearts. Nice guy, makes the show feel like a bunch of your best friends are playing just for you.
9. Mike Muir. Always comes back to thank us fans.
10. Peter Dolving. Very anti-rockstar.

Yes, shame on you! If I may recommend something, check out The Empire Strikes First. Most of their albums are great, but that one is fucking awesome from start to finish!

It's both rock and metal, right?
In that case I'd like to mention mr. Tim Smith of Cardiacs.
Commercially underrated, yet hugely influential. Quite a character. He's been active since the 70s, and has written and recorded some rather stunning songs over the years.
Sadly, he suffered a stroke and a paralysing heart attack in 2009.

He deserves credit for his music, and for the stunning live performances he gave before tragedy struck.

I agree with most of those. Especially Mike Patton, Dio, Belladonna, Dave Mustaine(always been a great frontman but lately his live singing is awful), Axl Rose(despite his LSD), Robert Plant. Among some of the worst in rock/metal:
Vince Neil
I'm drawing a blank after that. I saw Motley Crüe about 5 or 6 years ago and he just straight up sucked. Shitty moves, no energy, big beer belly, and way off key.

You shouldn't be too hard on poor Vince Neil. Before the Motley Crue reunion he was employed at Edinburgh Zoo cleaning the mucus from ping-pong balls which the baboons shoot out of their vaginas. He does love a vagina and will do ANYTHING to get close to one. Sadly, that includes "singing" for Motley Crue.
They should do a biopic movie about those baboons. Neil Strauss could write the screenplay.
I say "could" in the loosest possible sense.
You know; those baboons could write it themselves. They were going to write one about Vince Neil, but that Strauss, he doesn't miss a trick, he pipped them to the post.
I haven't been to the post for AGES.
Right, I'm off to the shops. Anyone want anything?

Lots of options....here's some of my faves (no particular order):
Jim Morrison
Lemmy
John Bush
Dickinson
Halford
Roger Daltrey
On any given day, this list could change, or not.

Keith Caputo used to be one of my favorites but he's gotten so gay over the years. Not that there's anything wrong with that. He would have been an interesting choice had the Doors chosen him when he auditioned.
