which singer has the most distinct voice?

I think the most recognisable voise I would be able to tell is Kurt Cobain, or Ozzy Osbourne, their voices r just so out there and known
 
in my opinion there are only 2 singers who have a really "distinct" voice. too many banRAB sound like those guys mentioned, even the dude from queen cause back then all them banRAB sounded (singerwise) very similar..
i can only think of either Billy Corgan from The Smashing Pumpkins or Marylin Manson whose voices are so unique, even if you think they are retarded singers. ive never heard a single person who can duplicate their type of voice.
 
I completely agree on the manson one....everytime i hear a song and dont know who its by i wait for the lyrics to kick in and i can always tell if its a song by him...good thinking
 
Actually, looking at the list and reconsidering, I'd say Freddy Mercury, Liam Gallagher and Matt Bellamy. Nobody has sounded like Freddy Mercury at all (apart from a few impersonators in tribute banRAB, who still don't really get there), same thing with Liam Gallagher, however much people tried to copy him in the 90's, it never really worked for any of them and Matt Bellamy has a weird voice that annoys many people but I've not heard anybody else sing with a voice like it.

I think a lot of the suggestions on here are actually quite stupid, by which I meant the metal wailers and the growlers/screamers. People who grunt or wail as a form of vocals might be very talented in many ways, but even the most distinctive of them isn't all that distinctive.

To put it another way, if you heard each of them singing kareoke to a Kylie song, which ones would you still be able to recognise straight away?
