Most distinct Voices in Music?

[Cicero]

I would have to say Nicki Minaj and Lil' Wayne

[Coolboi]

nicki minaj so cool he's got it !

[Hypers]

I'd say Adele.

[dusman77]

Adele! :D

[West Coast Sheriff]

George strait or Adele

[Ryhanna]

Gwen Stefani is the first person to spring to mind..

[Professional Russian]

Freddie Mercury(Queen)
Roger Waters/David Gilmour(Pink Floyd)
Mick Jagger(The Rolling Stones)
Hank Williams Jr.
Johnny Cash
Robert Plant(Led Zepplin)
Ian Anderson(Jethro Tull)
John Fogerty(CCR)

[WickedWeekend]

nicki minaj so cool he's got it !

I can't tell if that's a typo or not... But Nicki Minaj can't sing. She raps. Her "singing" is autotune. And Lil Wayne can't even rap, let alone sing.

Anyways...

Adele, Freddie Mercury, Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, Whitney Houston, and Michael Jackson. I don't regularly listen to any of them (especially Frank), but there is no doubt they set an example for other musical artists.

[Sleepy Raisin]

Nicki Minaj-very much yes
Adele
Lana Del Rey
Shakira

[Coolboi]

Yesssss

[xXJust Jump ItXx]

Like over all... Cause I mean if we are singling it to a genre that makes more sense haha. For alternative - Kurt Cobain; country, between Johnny Cash and George Strait; pop, oh thats a hard one... Nothing from today, I like 90s pop haha.

[Daracon]

John Fogerty (CCR)
Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin)
Freddy Mercury (Queen)
Ozzy Osbourne (Black Sabbath)
Kurt Cobain (Nirvana)
Rob Halford (Judas Priest)
James Hetfield (Metallica)

[PinkFloyd]

There's Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, Madonna, and The Beatles. I dont listen to any of them but they are what comes to mind when you think of famous music.

The question was distinct voices. So if you were listening to the radio and a Madonna song suddenly came on, you could instantly know whos singing?

You hear super high falsetto and you know who it is. Well, if you hear some of his normal voice to distinguish between the sexes.

[Ryhanna]

Michael Jackson, too. P!nk and Florence Welch also have fairly distinct voices.

First ones that come to mind would be Lil Wayne, Johnny Cash, Geddy Lee (Rush), Elvis, Stevie Nicks, Adele, Billie Joe Armstrong, Gerard Way, Hayley Williams.

A couple of those are probably just me (Billie and Gerard) but the rest pretty much anyone would recognize without fail.

[Emerald Dream]

Geddy Lee (Rush)

Totally agree with that one.

I'll throw in Steven Tyler and Adam Levine.

[PinkFloyd]

Jeff Mangum
Billy Corgan
Bob Dylan

Theres plenty of other distinctive voices, but these guys have always struck me as having almost "bad" voices. I love all 4 but their voices out of context are awful.
