BEST BAND EVER: Results!

I'm not in love with anyone in this group, to be honest, but I guess I'll go with Åkerfeldt. I'm not a fan of harsh vocals at all, but I enjoy his singing.
 
Mikael is, of course, the best vocalist here, mostly because of his mastery of both clean and harsh vocals.

King Diamond is 2nd best. I don't find his style goofy at all. He can still pull off all the screams from the 80's which is really impressive. His mid-range isn't anything special though.

Chuck was a good vocalist mostly because he evolved over the course of his career from low grunts to high pitched screams without losing his touch.

Never rated Hagar.

Eliminated after Round 70:
Chuck Schuldiner
King Diamond
Sammy Hagar

Promoted after Round 70:
Mikael Åkerfeldt

Dave Gahan (DEPECHE MODE)

Devin Townsend (solo, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD)

Roger Daltrey (THE WHO)

Ronnie James Dio (BLACK SABBATH, DIO, RAINBOW)
 
Dio is my favorite singer here, but I won't vote for him because he'll win in a landslide anyway. Can't really decide between Gahan and Townsend at the moment. Gahan has my favorite timbre in a singer, while Townsend is an immensely talented and powerful performer.
 
You may feel Dio is superior to the rest, and I do too, but that doesn't negate the notion that this is a group of death.

All four singers here would've stood a chance against the winners of some previous groups.
I personally can't see this remaining as the definitive group of death of the tournament, but we'll see.
