Distinctive Voices Which artists have the most unique or distinctive voices of all time? I'm not talking about the best voices, i'm just talking about artists that you hear a song by and you know it's them straight away.
Here are some of my picks! Stevie Nicks (has the most distinctive voice in my opinion)! Prince Michael Jackson Grace Jones | |

Steven Tyler Stevie Wonder Will Hung (funny but true) Right on with the rest of your list too. Do you think Beyonce has a distinctive voice? I thought of her but i'm not so sure. | |

Macy Gray (say what you want about the woman, but you will remember her voice after you hear just ONE of her songs -- it's that distinctive) | |

Prince
Bjork Jacques Brel the lead singer from Vaya Con Dios (Belgian group) Nelly Furtado The last two ones are not among the world's famous, but still I think their voices are pretty distinctive. | |

75% of those people would never make it on American Idol. Funny how those artists are supposed to be the greatest of the 20th century, but a person who can't wail melismatic phrases is untalented... It's not just about the voices, now is it? | |
