Saat iseng berselancar di jagat virtual, saya menemukan daftar yang dibikin oleh Hit Parader: Top 100 Metal Vocalists of All Time. Majalah terbitan Amerika Serikat yang telah terbit sejak 1943 ini—entah sekarang masih eksis atau tidak, wallahuallam, sebab edisi terakhir yang saya bisa lacak adalah November 2008—memang terkenal doyan bikin aneka peringkat. Top 100 Guitarists, Top 100 Metal Bands, Top 100 Bassists & Drummers, dsb.Tentu, ajang penentuan rangking macem begini kerap memunculkan kontroversi. Sering melahirkan debat berkepanjangan. Misalnya urut-urutan 100 Biduan Metal Terbaik Sepanjang Sejarah ini, saya amat yakin—utamanya generasi muda era millenium—bakal masif mempertanyakan kenapa kok sosok seperti Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart, David Bowie, juga Gavin Rossdale, turut disertakan di situ.
Rod Stewart? Metal? Huh?
