so in my day..... Tiny Tim and Wayne Newton seemed pretty inimitable (not to offer) although Joe Cocker definitely had something going on

The whole "modern rock singers sound like they had some bad seafood" sound can be traced back to Joe Cocker, IMHO.

I don't know how much of a singer Jonathan Davis is but you don't hear anybody like that. Cornell in his prime just had it all, talent, tone, originality. Maynard is a great pick too, nobody has sounded like him before or after and that voice matched the music and themes perfectly. The pre-chorus of Sober is almost like listening to a Charles Manson or Adolf Hitler rant, frantic but mesmerizing.
