if distinct means best voice in the entire world.... add Davey Havok and Korey Taylor.... and Glenn Danzig... cant forget Danzig... and i guess Deryck from Sum 41.

i dont know a whole lot, but if thats not what distinct means, please correct me.

i can only think of either Billy Corgan from The Smashing Pumpkins or Marylin Manson whose voices are so unique, even if you think they are retarded singers. ive never heard a single person who can duplicate their type of voice.

Im gunna disagree with that one. I can't think of another band that sounded like Freddy mercury in the 70's. I don't even think that Justin Hawkins comparisons are that well founded. People tend to look at one tiny aspect and say well right there they are similar and its not the case.

I'd also say it hard to have similar voices unless we chastise an artist for having people follow him. I.E. No one has had more copy cat followers than eddie vedder but that guy was original when he came out.

I don't know, im still going Jack White cause so many people complain about how "annoying" it is. I still think the stripes are the third coming of rock, but what the hell do I know.

Maynard James Keenan, all the way.

It stings alot that I was beaten to that punch, considering he's given a nod in my name.
