And how could I forget to list Jim Morrison? I edited out Axl Rose and put Jim into my list.

Billy Corgan, I was so going to say him. His winey little *****ing voice is more recognizable than the back of my own hand. But I love his stuff (:

Rob Halford - 'Nuff said !...

I almost mentioned him, but he's more recognisable for his ageing looks, bald head, and the fact that he still wears the same clothes he did 20 years ago. :lol:

Someone mentioned Dexter Hollan. Dexter is legendary. I wouldn't say hey was that extrodinary, but still a great vocalist imo.

No, however bad his music is, his voice is quite recognisable. I saw on TV an ad for his album, then heard a song on the radio days later and thought about it, and said "Craig David".

Roy Orbison
Dolly Parton
Fred Durst
Aaron Neville
Michael Bolton
Whitney Houston
Celine Dion
Nelly
Mick Jagger
Tiny Tim
Glenn Danzig
Meatloaf
Randy Travis
Luciano Pavarotti

Do you have a tree and a 2 metre length of rope anywhere in the vicinity? Because I am going to hang you by your toes from the highest branch of the tree. :grumpy:

Brian Johnson sang Thunderstruck.

Bon Scott was AC/DC's original singer, but he died and Brian Johnson replaced him. Most of AC/DC's big hits came with Brian Johnson as the front man.

Oh and Bon Scott and Brian Johnson have very similar voices, so they're not terribly unique.

:p ...the "not necessarily good ones" disclaimer is for the whole list, not for all the entries, and because it was not in my top 10 list. So take a deep, deeeep breath, relax. Put the gun down, PUT THE GUN DOWN!! Good. Now, go put the rope back where you took it.

for the record, I don't hate AD/DC at all.

I stand corrected as for Brian Johnson though, post edited.
 
I think some recognisable voices are:

Bee Gee's guys
Snoop Dogg
James Brown
Barry White
Mick Jagger
Micheal Jackson
The Pretenders - Women singer
Suggs
Aretha Franklin

Just a few.

Also, why has Famine spelt recognisable, recognizable?
