Lenny Kravitz, Bob Seger, Joey Ramone, Billy Joe Armstrong(Green Day), Alien Ant Farm, Chuck D, Zack De La Rocha, Boston, and the list goes on and on.
 
Marilyn Manson (I could pick him out in a crowd of 90 yr old men with throat cancer!)
Will Smith
Zach De La Rocha
Wyclef Jean
Eminem
Tommy Lee
Any of the Beastie Boys
Shaggy
AC/DC lead singer
Missy Elliot

Obviously these aren't all my preference, but I think they all have unique sounding voices.

[Edit] Forgot about Ja Rule! [Edit]
 
I can't believe that I've only seen one vote for Bob Dylan in here, he's my only vote.
 
^ Totally forgot about Dylan, one of the most recognizable IMO. Especially in his newest works, his vocal style can be easily distinguished.
 
Some of you guys say Eminem is very recognizable, but I disagree. There seems to be a lot of rappers that sound like him.
 
Billy Corgan(Smashing Pumpkins)
Axl Rose(Gun's n' Roses)
Marilyn Manson
Trent Reznor(Nine Inch Nails)
Rivers Cuomo(Weezer)
 
I think we should set up a poll. We have 15 choices, and then narrow it down to five, to then be narrowed down to 1. Anyone?

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet but I ALWAYS know a Chris Cornell (Audioslave, and Soundgarden) song when it comes on. He's got a superlative voice. Awesome vocalist. EDIT: OK noticed he got mentioned quite a bit in the first 2 pages.

No offense to all you guys suggesting Eddie Vedder ( I like him too) but I think he sounds almost exactly like Scott Stapp (he's from Creed).

Funny thing is so many people hate Creed yet love Pearl Jam. Wtf?

Also this hasn't beenmentioned yet but Eazy E is easily the most recognizable rapper. I dare anyone to find a rapper that sounds remotely like him.
 
For rock...

Billy Corgan
Robert Plant
Freddie Mercury

...those have probably been mentioned though.
 
Silverzone
...
Kurt Cobain
