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.

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.

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

Sure, if this were your avatar:

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.
