One thing I learned, which I hadn't realized, in reading all of the tributes is that he was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.  He is/was a TRONEr.

Love Ronnie, but no.  Funkadelic was using that sign well before Ronnie ever did.  Zappa did too.

Dio was/is the best metal vocalist of all time. 

Huge loss.   

My vote would have been for Bruce Dickinson, but then again, I'm a total tard for Maiden. Nevertheless, terrible loss. And as far as Ozzy, that dude is impossible to kill. By all accounts he should have died in the 80s.

RIP Dio.

I love Bruce Dickinson, and Rob Halford.  Both great metal voices.  But for me, Dio's voice just had that extra element, that everything he sang sounded metal.  It's hard to really describe in words.

I suppose this officially makes Klaus Meine the shortest guy in metal.

I think that Glenn Danzig is just a smidge shorter, but I could be wrong

If you insisted on taking out a former Black Sabbath singer you could've at least gone after someone expendable like Glenn Hughes.  Nobody would miss him.

I know EXACTLY what you're talking about.  Even the more bluesy material from his Rainbow days had that 'edge' to it.

Also I have to agree with every artist listed in your post but I also feel obligated to recognize Geoff Tate in terms of vocalists.
