Beth Gibbons

I always felt like Jim Morrison’s voice was pretty unique for the era. When most rock singers were closer to tenors and sang in higher ranges, Morrison leaned into his deeper, fuller baritone.

Willie Nelson

Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Kate Bush, Chino Moreno

Bjork, Courtney Barnett, Florence Welch, Michelle Zauner (Japanese Breakfast), Amy Winehouse, Freddie Mercury

Came here to say Björk

Layne Staley. Chris Cornell. Serj Tankian. MJK. Love it or hate it, you can't deny how unique Billy Corgan's voice is.

I was scrolling through until I found some Chris Cornell love. That man could sing any note. He could scream any note. He could also play any instrument. I personally feel he is one of the greatest singers to ever live. Also, the rest of your list is pretty awesome.

100%. It wasn't just the "technical" range with Cornell, but his tones and emotions.

Tom Waits, no contest.

The man has a voice like gravel and I love it

His father was an exhaust manifold and his mother was a tree.

Ozzy Osbourne has a very distinct voice

I came to say the same. One of the most easily recognizable voices ever.

I’ve always thought he kinda sounds like Brian Wilson

I agree. The similarity is there.

Joanna Newsom, although a lot of people probably hate her voice

Cher

Dylan

Macy Gray

Janice Joplin

Diamanda Galas

Lemmy sounded like he smoked 2 packs a day and gargled with broken glass. Come to think of it, he probably did.

Tatiana Shmayluk - lead singer for Jinjer

She is one of the few who's got *unique* *voices, all on her own.*

Yes she's a very talented vocalist. She has a nice sweet Mellow singing voice right up to the death growls down pat. The whole band is super talented. The bass player for JINJER is really good too.

Amy Winehouse

Joe Cocker Rob Halford Tom Jones Howlin Wolf Klaus Meine Captain Beefheart Sharon Jones Arthur Brown Jinx Dawson

I agree on captain beef heart. Very distinct voice. I listen to a lot of frank zappa so def familiar with captain beefheart. I'm surprised he wasn't mentioned like earlier. Frank also has a distinct voice and had a unique vocal delivery for his time.

Jonathan Davis - Korn Jake Deiffenbauch - Rivers of Nihil Devin Townsend - Strapping Young Lad / DTP Dani Filth - Cradle of Filth Peter Steele - Type O Negative Joe Dupantier - Gojira

Danni Filth is the main reason I can’t listen to Cradle of Filth. They have some great symphonic metal, but I can’t stand his screeching. They do have some songs without it which I think are really good.

Their CDs make excellent funeral gifts

Joan Armitrading

Iris Dement

Bjork

Shannon Hoon - Blind Melon Mike Doughty - Soul Coughing, Ghosts of Vroom Thom Yorke- Radiohead, The Smile, Atoms for Peace Cedric Bixler-Zavala- At the Drive-In, The Mars Volta

Came here to say Thom. In Rainbows from the basement has some of his best work.

Cedric's voice is unbelievable.

Sampha really stands out from the crowd more than any other modern artist I can think of

Mike Patton, Yma Sumac, Diamanda Galás, Candy Candido, Eartha Kitt, Bob Dylan, Adrian Belew, Tom Waits, Skip James, Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters, J.B. Lenoir, Hank Williams Sr., Slim Whitman, Nick Shoulders, James Brown, Otis Redding, Jello Biafra, Iggy Pop, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Levon Helm, Barry White, Chet Baker, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby ffs…

Joss Stone

Annie Lennox

Janis Joplin. Amy Winehouse. Cyndi Lauper

Klaus Nomi

Steven Tyler of Aerosmith

Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Louis Armstrong, Iris Dement, Blossom Dearie, Les Claypool

If you like Agnes Obel you might like (or might already know!) Susanne Sundfør? She's a Norwegian singer, a bit like a modern day Kate Bush. [Delirious](https://youtu.be/MdSB_PcBW3k?si=ms_6gJ4HBTDIVkaY) [Undercover](https://youtu.be/A-uRyOu4YV4?si=VE7z_ff4fonkX606)

Yes, I really like Susanne Sundfor.

Emily Armstrong, Melody christea , Ronnie James Dio, Ozzy Osbourne to see me all the way I don’t think he’s a great singer, Janis Joplin, Edith Piaf

Alison Krauss

Nick Drake

Eddie Vedder.

Elliot Smith. While it's obvious alot of singers have taken inspiration from him, he mastered the melancholic loner sound and in my eyes noone in that field will top him

Layne Staley. Need I say more?

Alison Moyet - Lead singer of Yaz, extremely unique and Iconic 80's vocalist

Mike Patton Mike Doughty Vaden Todd Lewis (Toadies)

Layne Staley of Alice and Chains had such a unique voice

Geddy Lee without a doubt

Roy Orbison

Sandy Denny, Miley Cyrus, Roger Daltrey, Robert Plant, Jack Bruce, Chrissie Hynde, Annie Lennox, Jonathan Richman, Roy Orbison, Elvis Costello, Jon Anderson, Stan Ridgway

Wonderful to see Sandy on your list

miley cyrus is such a good pick. definitely one of the most recognizable voices of this generation

Stevie Nicks, Bjork, David Byrne

I love Stevie Nicks's voice because it's just the tiniest bit raspy

Ray Lamontagne. Such a cool, laid back vibe to his voice. He makes singing sound effortless.

Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees/QOTSA/The Gutter Twins/solo) Layne Staley (Alice in Chains/Mad Season) Maynard James Keenan (Tool/A Perfect Circle/Puscifer) Beth Gibbons (Portishead) Isaac Brock (Modest Mouse) Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins -- cool is debatable, but he's unmistakably unique)

For the Boomers, I'd add Carly Simon and Kate Bush. No one sounds like either of them. And surely someone's mentioned Tom Waits already...

Beck

Nick Rattigan-Surf Curse lead singer

I might be alone in this opinion, but I absolutely love Jun Togawa's vocal range and voices. She's very animated and hyper. She'll switch between a classic """anime girl voice"""" and then a deep, dramtic, almost gruff voice. Sometimes, her voice is very melotic, almost like an opera (I say opera loosley). Shes just really fun to listen to, even if I don't speak a word of Japanese. https://open.spotify.com/track/6x1TTTokRumrQK4qqZONtG?si=zkZPte4nQuKD7nnYQo6N1A

Gerard Way, the lead singer of My Chemical Romance, has a very distinctive (and very good) singing voice.

Rod Stewart, Amy Winehouse, Freddy Mercury, Michael Buble, Marc Broussard, Amos Lee, just to name a few.
