Those are pretty recognizable choices on there, and Jello Biafra is a damn good choice as well. Billy Corgan is another voice I recognize instantly. As well as Glenn Danzig.

Holy crap Glenn Danzig <33 Yeah he's definitely got one recognizable voice...I remember it was described as "Elvis from Hell" in a magazine once

Actually, looking at the list and reconsidering, I'd say Freddy Mercury, Liam Gallagher and Matt Bellamy. Nobody has sounded like Freddy Mercury at all (apart from a few impersonators in tribute bands, who still don't really get there), same thing with Liam Gallagher, however much people tried to copy him in the 90's, it never really worked for any of them and Matt Bellamy has a weird voice that annoys many people but I've not heard anybody else sing with a voice like it.

I think a lot of the suggestions on here are actually quite stupid, by which I meant the metal wailers and the growlers/screamers. People who grunt or wail as a form of vocals might be very talented in many ways, but even the most distinctive of them isn't all that distinctive.

To put it another way, if you heard each of them singing kareoke to a Kylie song, which ones would you still be able to recognise straight away?
