I'm just the opposite, the majority of the metal I like does require good singers.

Not from what I've heard.

Well its obvious from some of the metal albums that you listen to, that the quality of singing is well down on the list of priorities.

I can't say I can listen to metal if the vocalist doesn't sound good. If it's mostly instrumentals than it's alright, but if the vocalist shows up regularly throughout the songs on the albums, I can't stand it.

I don't know how one could assume I would get bored of a long piece of music. I really do like the music that I do regardless of length - and actually I just finished listening to a 24 minute long piano sonata by Chopin. It honestly does not get dull for me. If it did, I would have given up on classical music a long time ago. And lots of other music, for that matter.

As usual, VEGANGELICA makes good points. Nothing to add there.

I looked up Dio right after I posted this morning. Though a Wiki entry calling his voice "powerful" doesn't equate to "good voice," I'm surprised to find him high on at least one list of best metal vocalists. Personally, I don't like his voice, and I am darn sure he would never be high on a list of male singers from genres that include pop, alternative, etc. I probably could not find one long song that I enjoy where I'd rate the singing as not at least pleasant.

This never was meant to be a debate thread, and certainly not about Dio's singing.

I wonder why you started this thread if you really didn't want to acknowledge the fact the other people feel differently. You basically only discussed the whole topic with one person, which makes me think that you could have just taken it to PM and not bothered any of us with it.

No, it was a thread that you were hoping people would agree with you and you could discuss the topic further with people who think the way you do. Instead, people don't agree with you and you are trying to discuss in the best way you can just to disagree with the people who disagree with you. Even though you have no idea what you're discussing.
