What singers, or growlers (for all the metal heads out there) do you think have the most recongnisible (man my spelling sucks today) voices

AsIlaydyings front man
Ryan Clark (demon hunter)
Kevin Max (dc talk/solo)
Trevor what ever his last name is (TFK/FM Static)

The first ones to spring to my mind; Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan (for better or for worse) O_o

Let's se...

Michael W. Smith
Bono
The chick from Six Pence
Weird Al

Oo, Bono occured to me too. But lately I've been hearing alot of singers that seem to have been very, very heavily inspired by him. But he is the original ^^

Karen Carpenter and Roger Whittaker are the two that stick out most in my mind at the moment. ^_^

Reese Roper, Josh Scogin, Claudio Sanchez, Aaron Weiss, Regina Spektor, Wayne Coyne.

Greg Graffin. >.>

Reese Roper, Karen Carpenter, Claudio Sanchez, Kevin Max. These are all already mentioned in here but oh well.

Um, I think Gackt and Hyde have really distinctive voices too.

Rob Zombie
Andrea Ferro (the male singer in Lacuna Coil)
Maynard!!

Rachel wrote:Maynard!!

If by that you mean Maynard James Keenan, I agree. Maynard has a very recognizable voice, and although I don't share his religious standpoint (as I'm sure none of you do) I have a great respect for his talents, as he is one of my favorite vocalists of all time.

Others I've thought of since my last post:
Ken Andrews (I dunno why this one didn't come to me quicker... >.>)
Johnny Whitney (you can't say otherwise, ask Kkun)
Claudio (sp? I'm not a huge Coheed fan, but you *know* when it's them xD )

the Nightwish girl and ozzy

Ihsahn of Emperor, Peccatum, and many other bands
Ihriel (Ihsahn's wife) of Peccatum and Star of Ash
Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth
King Diamond
Chuck Shuldinger of Death
Christian Rivel of Narnia, Divinefire, and many other projects
Joe Duplantier of Gojira
Lord Worm of Cryptopsy
Adam Darski of Behemoth

Mike Herarra - MxPx, David Crowder, Aaron Wiess - MewithoutYou, Andrew Shwaab - Project 86, Josh Scogin - The Chariot, Klay Scott - Celldweller, Circle Of Dust, Argyle Park.

There are a few for ya'll.

Ben Folds; Mick Jagger; John Flansburgh; Chris Cornell; I would say Layne Staley and Billie Joe Armstrong, but so many singers since Alice In Chains and Green Day have tried to make their voices sound like them, so they'r not so distinctive anymore.

ooh lead singer from Lamb Of God and Jimmy Ryan.

Wow, another one I forgot >.> What's with me? xD

Jyro Xhan from Mortal as well. The lead singer of Beloved (for some reason the name isn't coming to mind.)

You sure about that? Most people aren't really even familiar with any industrial music which is underground, much less the even more underground Christian industrial music. Oh, by the way, Klay Scott's groups are pretty good, but hardly the best industrial music ever - my personal favorites right now are Mentallo & the Fixer and Audio Paradox. By the way, you ever listen to http://www.digitalgunfire.com or http://www.tormentedradio.com ?

As to the most recognizable voices, I would have to go with Elvis - any doubters try going into a Waffle House and playing him on the juke box.

Demon Hunter dude.
Corey from slipknot.
Bono from U2.
Edge from U2.
Dallas Taylor from Maylene and the Sons of Disaster

That's true that Klay Scot's stuff isn't that well known...But if you've heard them than you'd recognize his voice.

I'm probably stretching it, but...

Tiny Tim.

Phil Collins
Neil Young
Elvis Presley
Frank Sinatra
Judy Garland

...or were you just interested in more modern folk?

John Schlitt (lead of petra)
Steve Taylor (not just for his voice, the guy's lyrics are beyond profound)
the lead singer of extol (the singer, not the screamer)
Eric Clayton of Saviour Machine
Steven Tyler of Aerosmith (just 'cus it's recognizable doesn't mean it's good)
lead singer of "the waiting"
Phil Joel and Peter Furler of the Newsboys
Michael Tait
Robert Plant (for those of you that are too young to know better, he was the lead for Led Zepplin)


....that's all i got for now, if i had more time i'm sure i could prolly rattle off about a hundred more that all stand out in our minds

Claudio Sanchez, Axl Rose and Mai Yamane, for those who have not been listed yet.

That's the point I was trying to make with everyone that I listed. Once you've heard them, it's impossible not to recognize them.

Yeah that was the point that I was trying to get across as well. Anyway here are some more.

John Cooper - Skillet
Darin Keim - Staple
Aaron Marsh - Copeland
Kevin Max - DCtalk
Christian Lindskog - Blindside
Chester Bennington - Linkin Park
Matt Thiesson - Relient K
Chris Staples - Discover America

Tom Petty, if he hasn't been listed yet. And Johnny Cash.

Amen to that Brother!
Miyavi (I can pick out his voice anywhere. It's always really low of really high, can't quite get the middle there, but I'm addicted!)

Macy Gray *shudders*
Celiene Dion
Lead singer of Creed
Sonata Arctica
Tori Amos
Korn *shudders again*
Linkin Park
Eminem *more shuddering*

Well, um...I probably stand alone on these, but I can recognize Ryutaro Arimura and Freddie Mercury's voices quite easily.
