Bach, Dickinson, Dio, Vedder, LaBrie, Anselmo, Owens, Halford - who fronts your band?

These are the frontmen whose music has spent time in my CD changer lately, so amongst Sebastian Bach, Bruce Dickinson, Ronnie James Dio, Eddie Vedder, James LaBrie, Phil Anselmo, Ripper Owens, Rob Halford -

Who fronts your dream band and why?

No outside toss-ins, just choose from these guys. Personally I'm torn between Bruce (stage presence is phenomenal), Dio (just seems cool as hell of stage), and Ripper - powerful guts on this guy.

In a shoot out, I'm going with Bruce.

Dickenson, Anselmo, or Bach, can't narrow it any more.

it's tough, isn't it!

Yup! Hard enough to get to that point!

Of those choices, I'd take Halford, but I'd take Ray Alder over any of them.

Back or Dickinson.

But I think I'd go with Bruce.

Ed Ved or Bruce Bruce.

Dio without a doubt. Though if Halford had aged half as well as Dio has, then he'd be in the running.

Vedder?? The guy's a whiner.

DIO!!!

Never had you pegged as a classic metal fan bongo! I had to include Eddie since this thread was prompted when I realized all of the CD's in my changer rotation were bands fronted by a lead singer not playing an instrument - until Death Magnetic went in.

Dickinson or LaBrie. Definitely couldn't take listening to Anselmo gig after gig.
