Zach Lacucaracha is the best

 

[Rival]

Steven Tyler

 

[Hulk_Smash]

Joe Cocker


Redbone

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Fuck you, OP!!



Fatality!

 

[Prison Mike]

Kurt cobain
Axl Rose
James brown

 

[Sakura Doritos]

Way out there answer. Eminem

Nah. There are a few rappers on YT that can rap like him and sometimes sound like him depending on the bars.

Young Merkules and KYDD can spit fire like Eminem and could fool you.

No disrespect to Mr. Em. He is the single best rapper to ever live.

 

[teezzy]

lol Jagger fuckin wishes...

 

[frostyxc]

He's not the most technically talented singer, but he's possibly my favourite singer. His voice and style is so distinctive and I think his has gotta be the most easily recognizable voice around.

I threw up in my mouth a little... and then your wife didn't want to make out anymore. It was awkward.

Anyway, everyone knows that Gary Young is the most talented singer of the last century.

 

[Lionel Richie]

My mother is a speech-language pathologist and yes, she once said that Jagger sings through in a very unmistakable way by something he does with his pharynx and what not. I don't know man, she knows her stuff. And seeing all the hail marys in this thread makes me even more confident that she is right.

The only challenger I see is Axl Rose:



See, he fits the OP criteria of being "unmistakable" and being popular enough, but he does it by being steroid Jagger. He's harsh and there's doubts about him being a tenor (yes) or a baritone (no). The fact remains that he got crazy range and his unusual way of singing is hard to replicate. When you listen to a prime time GnR song, there's zero doubt it's Axl singing. Very unique voice. Great band too!

 

[Prison Mike]

Liam gallagher

 

[bitbydeath]

Way out there answer. Eminem

Was going to say the same.
Even without rapping his voice is very distinct.

 

[SirTerry-T]

Mark "Mighty lungs" Lanegan...

 

[Jack Videogames]

Weird Al

 

[etp_1]

Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Tiny Tim.

I would never say Axl Rose lol. I think that he sounds a lot like Bruce Dickinson in parts of November Rain.

Btw, what the hell was up with him? In the Welcome to the Jungle video he looks like a teenager:


Then in the Paradise City one he looks like a fat Val Kilmer, and they're from the same album

 

[Lionel Richie]

Can't unsee lol. Heavy drinking and cheeseburgers with extra cheese will do that to a fella.

 

[Tesseract]

eminem or michael jackson

 

[MaestroMike]

Dmx

 

[Melfice7]

Axl Rose

 

[JLMC469]

 

[cyber_ninja]

Here are my favorite vocalists that you can't mistake for anybody else:

Chester Bennington
Keith Flint
Adam Gontier
BenjaminBurnley

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

I think its Barry Gibb from the Bee Gee's personally.
I picked him as a background vocalist in Dione Warwicks 'Hear Breaker' and another song I can remember right now, before I knew he had anything to do with them. Very distinct voice.

EDIT: The other song was Diana Ross' 'Chain Reaction'.

 

[Great Hair]

 

[adamosmaki]

ronnie jamea dio and bruce dickinson

 

[Schrödinger's cat]

Paul Heaton of The Beautiful South / Housemartins

 

[Batiman]

Neil Young

 

[Wizz-Art]

That would be Joe Cocker, David Bowie and Leonard Cohen. They also have in common that they're not under the living anymore.

 

[Darth]

Bone Thugs, don’t know which person is which.

What are there names?
Wish Bone
Lazy Bone
Broken Bone
Dizzy Bone
Krazie Bone
Dopy Bone

 

[DiscoJer]

I would say John Fogerty of CCR



There's just something about his voice that makes it sound different

 

[psorcerer]

He's not the most technically talented singer, but he's possibly my favourite singer. His voice and style is so distinctive and I think his has gotta be the most easily recognizable voice around.

All the popular vocalists build their image on an easily distinguishable voice.

 

[Ionian]

Absolutely and without a doubt.

 

[MilkLizard]

Billy Corgan. No a big fan but you immediately recognize his voice.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Tiny Tim.

Me and my family play a game every Christmas where first one to shout the name of the singer when a new song plays gets a point.

All of us confuse Frank Sinatra with Perry Cuomo.

You mean to tell me Zack De La Rocha sounds more like Perry Cuomo than Frank Sinatra?!

 

[SF Kosmo]

Louis Armstrong probably. Bob Dylan. Tom Waits.

 

[Snaggletooth]

There are many singers but i think Barry White is widely recognised for his voice.

 

[Droxcy]

You can defiantly tell it's him. I saw Rolling Stones @ Desert Trip in 2016 great shows.

 

[bender]

First name that pops into my head is Jeff Buckley.
