says of Halford: "There have been few vocalists in the history of
heavy metal whose singing style has been as influential and instantly
recognizable", possessing a voice which is "able to effortlessly
alternate between a throaty growl and an ear-splitting falsetto".
Halford was voted number 33 in the greatest voices in rock by Planet Rock listeners in 2009. In addition to his work with Judas Priest, he has been involved with several side projects, including Fight, 2wo and Halford.
