[Solid Lifters]

Jimmy Somerville

 

[RVDNuT374]

Jon Fogarty of CCR:




Stevie Nicks:

 

[Prosthetic]

Scott Weinrich
Matt Pike
Bobby Ellsworth
Dave Wyndorf
Pepper Keenan
Scott Hill
John Garcia
Chris Goss

Just a few of the ones that pop into my head. I always know who I'm listening to when once the vocals come in with these people.

 

[Earth]

Roland Orzabal



Phil Collins

 

[Wiegert]

Trent Reznor

Chris Cornell of Soundgarden etc. has to be considered for this too I believe...

Definitely needs to be considered, yeah.

 

[disinfected]

Are we talking distinctive or unique? I could name plenty in both categories, but not sure if they are one in the same.

 

[Roger the Horse]

Björk, who else could you call the most unique voice in music?



Stephen Hawking comes close though:





And one day I might be if the Post Punk band I sing in keeps going with me singing horribly out of tune!

 

[Earth]

Are we talking distinctive or unique? I could name plenty in both categories, but not sure if they are one in the same.

Those words aren't synonyms? lol, just a singing voice that really separates itself from the pack. For example, Eminem sounds different from most rappers

Peter Cetera

 

[AMCNUT]

I've always thought that Bruce Springsteen's voice was pretty unique. He manages to stand out from the crowd and makes that gravely style of voice work.

 

[Slash]

I nominate KING DIAMONDDDDDDDDDDDDDD


Why hasn't anyone said him yet? He has one of the, if not the, most recognizable vioces in the world!


I also think of Lemmy from Motorhead and Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth from Overkill. His voice is CRAZY. Cinderellas singer is also one I think of.

Klaus Meine from Scorpions is also another good one.

 

[Vegard]

 

[Akira GT]

Not that well known in some parts of the world but he still has a unique voice.
Brandon Flowers - The Killers.

 

[Dustone]

Chino from Deftones

 

[AlexGTV]

Bill Medley.

 

[Slash]

Dave Mustaine - Megadeth (already said?)
John Fogerty - Creedance Clearwater Revival
And of course OZZY

 

[Baron Blitz Red]

Another that comes to mind: Roy Orbison... old school, but way beyond unique. Louis Armstrong, Frank Zappa, and Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull and Jon Anderson of Yes I believe to be worthy of "unique" status as well...

Have a good one

 

[failing_finn]

p.s. Vocalist is a male.

 

[Ireland]

I think Getty Lee, the lead singer from the Canadian band Rush.

 

[east]

Michael Jackson, Joey Belladonna and Ja Rule are 3 that come to mind that havnt been mentioned yet.

 

[Eiskalter Mick]

James Hetfield (Metallica)
Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam), does sound a bit like Chris Cornell, but still pretty distinctive.
Andrew Stockdale (Wolfmother)
Gavin Rossdale (Bush/Institute)
Jim James (My Morning Jacket)
