No he doesn`t

smoke about 1000 cigarettes a day & anyone can sound like Lemmy

CreepyOldMan 08-12-2005 01:59 AM

I would say Freddy is pretty recognizable, and Axl. Ozzy too.

SpeedKing 08-12-2005 05:14 AM

Jon Anderson

rebelgirl 08-14-2005 01:46 PM

boo boo 09-26-2005 07:15 AM

Like him or not, its obvious this guy has the most destinct voice.


Geddy Lee. =)

Kempson 09-26-2005 02:24 PM

I agree with whoever said Phil Anselmo, his voice is unique IMO.

scout_75 06-09-2006 10:53 PM

My favorite rock voice - Steven Tyler.

Blain 06-10-2006 12:20 AM

Dexter Holland, I've never heard anyone singing who sounds anywhere near like him
Also Serj Tanakian and Chester Bennington

Seltzer 06-10-2006 12:35 AM

John Fogerty should be in the poll.

But also, there's Geddy Lee, Bruce D1ckinson, Mike Patton and Dave Mustaine.

From that list, probably Freddie Mercury.

Kurt Cobain definitely shouldn't be up there since he and Scott Weiland sound rather similar at times. And I've never heard Bush, but I've heard that the vocals are similar to Cobain's.

Scott Weiland ripped of Cobain... But he rips off every singer from Vedder to Cornell, so no biggie.

I love Cobains voices and i'd difinetely say it's distictive, even though it does remind me of Paul Westerberg sometimes.

IMO the most distinctive voices.

Tom Waits - Sounds like he smokes 100 packs of cigarettes a day.

Jon Anderson - If Micky Mouse and Tiny Tim had a love child....

Bjork - Sounds like an angel........ Having a big f*cking orgasm.

Eddie Vedder - Very distintive with his tenor and that whole marbles in his mouth style of singing, but i love his voice, and i think that even though his voice is very immitated, his vocals are still easy to recognize, and i can tell him apart from every one that tries to sound like him.

Bon Scott - Sounds like Jon Anderson if he got drunk.

Thom Yorke - His trademark falseto and moaning style is copied a lot nowadays, but i still find it quite unique.

Robert Plant - I WAAAANNNNA BE YOUR BACKDOOR MAN!!!

Jim Morrison - Nuff said.

Freddie Mercury - His style of singing was unheard of at the time, and i still can't name one singer who sounds even remotely like him.

David Bowie - And he has amazing range, his transition from falseto to tenor makes it seem so easy.

Ozzy Osbourne - Sounds like, i have no damn idea.... But it freaks me out.

Jello Biafra - The sound of a pissed off psyco killer.

Axl Rose - Like Curly of the Three Stooges meets Gilbert Gottfried a lot of times, but i love his singing because of it's pure distintiveness and defiant style.

John Fogerty - I just love it.

Janis Joplin - Like Peppermint Patty on a drinking binge.

Ian Anderson - If Satan has a voice, it would sound like Ian Anderson.

Billy Corgan - Yes, i love his "rat" voice.

Bono - STFU.

Stevie Nicks - Love her or hate her, i find her voice to be very original... I even find it sexy, what?.... You don't think goats are sexy?

Peter Gabriel - Phil Collins dosen't count, he was designed using Gabriel's DNA, but the experiement wasn't a complete success, as evidenced in Collins horribly disfigured appearance.

Jimi Hendrix - Underrated too.

Geddy Lee - Best known for his role in Alvin & The Chipmunks.

Goatse is sexy http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...p/badteeth.gif

Zach De La Rocha has a pretty unique singing style. As does the singer from MSI...even though I don't really like them at all...

Mike Patton (Faith No More) has a pretty interesting voice as well.

And the avatar I had of him even looked like satan would look IMO.

nirvana4ever 08-15-2006 04:07 AM

For me
KURT D.COBAIN

The Dave 08-16-2006 08:08 AM

Sanchez (from Coheed and Cambria) has a really recognizeable voice obviously. From the poll though, i'd have to say Freddie.

bruise_violet 08-16-2006 10:14 AM

Mercury forever :love:

Conor Oberst from Bright Eyes (Despite me disliking them) has a pretty distinct voice

P.S I know this is in the rock and metal forum but who cares:)

Agreed.
I have to admit i like Billy Corgans voice as well, i like the way he can switch from screaming to daydreamy-whispering so well.

Raine 08-18-2006 03:05 PM

I voted chris cornell.

i can't get over. .. his technique and way of performing and ways of altering his voice

Laces Out Dan! 08-18-2006 05:06 PM

Laces Out Dan! 08-18-2006 06:10 PM

tdoc210 08-18-2006 06:34 PM

Everyone sucks in comparison to Jon Anderson :D

Ace 08-19-2006 02:57 PM

This one is easy enough. I can name plenty, but Maynard James Keenan takes the title hands down.

TMR 08-22-2006 06:19 PM

other

swim 08-22-2006 07:33 PM

I think J Mascis has the most distinct voice.
