1)Halford has stood the test of time with his pipes. Could be one of the best long standing metal singers of all time.
“Could” be “one” of the best…? I hope he redeems himself soon with some landmark recordings. Otherwise he might be relegated to the bottom half of a future top 100 metal vocalists list or the honorable mention pity category.

Please.. He's what, 70+ now? British Steel not a landmark? Screaming For Vengeance? Sad Wings Of Destiny? Stained Class? What are you, 15?

Ahhh listen, I’m post Saturday night party bender by myself with bourbon and beer. It’s a bit taxing to conjure up words at 7 am. Lemme rephrase, imo halford is it. Crazy long career and still going and crazy pipes. That’s my number 1 pick. Yes. @thegame he is the goat
 
That’s tough - So many do their specific jobs well. 🤔

But out of context.. hard to compare styles/ability.
 
In this particular order!

Halford
Dio
Dickinson
Chuck Billy
King Diamond

…in that order!
Kinda ashamed I didn't think of Chuck. The man is a beast unleashed. Saw them on the tour for Practice What You Preach, and was totally blown away.
