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.

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?

Someone needs to read the first post...

I've only but a personal few... :)

Zack De La Rocha
Lead singer of System of a Down
Fat Mike (NoFX) 👍 👍 👍
Wayne Static (You know it's him when he opens his mouth)
Kurt Cobain
Busta Rhymes ('Cause he's angry...)
Lead from Linkin' Park (Not the Rapper, but I don't mind him either...)
Trent Reznor
Marilyn Manson
Axl Rose (Always)
Fred Durst
Seal

So I lied, it's a lot. But hopefully it helps the cause.
 
Yeah, I know the polls are over but I wanted to add my two cents!

Bob Dylan
Kate Bush
Bjork
Leonard Cohen
Neil Young
Joni Mitchell
Peter Gabriel
Johnny Rotten (aka John Lydon)
David Bowie
Celine Dion ( :yuck: )
 
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.
 
Andrew Eldritch - The Sisters of Mercy.
Joey Ramone - The Ramones.
Bono - U2.
Johnny Cash.
Nick Cave.
Bob Dylan.
Mick Jagger - Stones.
Rod Stewart.
Bruce Springsteen.
Tom Waits.
Prince.
