which singer has the most distinct voice? (tune, quote, Organ)

HunterTyler · 06-10-2005, 03:17 PM

Personally, i would say all of them are equally distinctive, and in that sense, you will never have a 'most distinctive' singer, as there will be many differant reasons for distinction. Its much like asking 'what is the most distinctive genre, a true answer will never be found. Dispite saying all that, i think the most distinctive singers would be the guy from Muse and Bono

Tom Waits, without a doubt.

I never get confused on voices, even on bands i've only heard one song from. I"m really good with voices. I hope its just me, because i want to be special.

I'd say the most distinct ones i can think of right now are Billy Corgan, Ronnie James Dio, and Dave Mustain. However, that could be because those have been the most recent vocals i've listened to.

out of those, freddy murcery and kurt cobain are pretty disticnt. davey havok is also a distinct singer.

Ok .. the list didn't obtain anything remotely distinguisable to me .. but l would say Maynard from APC and Tool is one l would instantly be able to identfy. He just has a voice unlike anyother oh yeah and can't forget Dani Davey from C.O.F .Who wouldnt be able to recognise such an obscene voice like at first l thought it was a chick, most probably jeza bel deva, how wrong i was

I think Chris Cornell but i also think other artists do too. I could instantly recognise terg's voice form SOAD and also maynard from tool.

I voted for Kurt, my love. He got such a beautiful melancholy in his voice...
But Freddy Mecrury is another fav...

How can you have Cobain on there but not Axl Rose? You have bands that souond like Cobain (puddle of mudd being one) but none that sound like Axl
