MF, I realize Paul Rodgers is no Freddy Mercury he would have to getin to wearing diapers and sleeping with homosexual midgets to truly embrace the role, but he is a damn good singer. As far as Dio, and Halford and such I think that singers should be put into catagories to truly classify them as the best. Dio, Ian Gillian, Dickenson and Halford are damn hard to beat in the metal dept. Bon Scott was awsome but I dont really think AC/DC is a metal band, more hard rock I think. -T
