Freddy's the best frontman in history but Queen are one of the worst bands in history so I'm saying Dio.

[blackrose87]

both had the pipes but freddie the better showman by miles.

[Chloe]

Freddie is a better vocalist but I prefer Dio.

both shit..

[izzygirl]

I voted for Freddie but it was a tough decision.

Nevertheless, best vocalist ever is Bon Scott.

Freddie without a doubt!

[Chewbacca]

Holy DIVER!!

[Zint]

Both shine where they do so best.

Don't get why they're being compared, but Dio. Dio was, and always will be, the greatest rock vocalist that ever lived IMO.

This is just as good as it gets:

Freddie's gonna win, but I grew up on Dio, and his voice is just so angelic! You can't top Stargazer, As Long As It's Not About Love, Catch the Rainbow, Falling Off the Edge of the World, and Don't Talk to Strangers. He's just got this eeriness about his voice, you know? Sends chills down my spine. And he's a beast live. Doesn't do much for me in the frontman department, but he never really did lose his voice. And fuck, his scream in Gypsy is one of the finest moments in rock music, and he improved it so many times live.

I've never gotten into Freddie personally, but I have a tremendous amount of respect for him. His voice on Innuendo and Prophet's Song is the most bitchin' I've ever heard from him.

[Black Sabbath]

Freddie.

[WhazUp]

Love both but I gotta pick Freddie

[RandallFlagg]

It's gotta be Mercury all the way

Ronnie even rocked back then

[JKKDARK]

Is this poll a joke?

Mercury is the best singer of all time.

Dio isn't even in the top 50 of his genre.

I love the stuff he did with The Prophets. My personal favorite:

Guess you don't listen to much metal at all if that's your opinion.

[Death Star]

Sig me a song your the singerrrrrr!

RJD is better imo than Freddie, not to say this poll was a close match. I mean I do like Freedie's voice and he does have one of the best vocals for rock out there, but have always enjoyed Ronnie's bands/solo work more than Freddie or Queen.

[luciusfunk]

Freddie, hands down.

[Cosmo]

Not a big fan of either of them. But I gotta agree Freddie wins. Dio must have been a much nicer person, tho.

[dalsh327]

Just on vocals alone, would have to go with Ronnie over Freddie.

Twisted Sister was doing Rainbow and Black Sabbath covers before Stay Hungry, and if you hear it on You Tube..going to be surprised how close Dee is. Blackmore and Snider live around the same part of Long Island, too...

[The Sandman]

Freddie for me too.
