Who's your pick?
I know there's gonna be Geddy on here 
My pick is Jon Anderson. Just such a strange noise emitted from that mans vocal chords.

I'll put up Jeff Buckley. No one sounds like him.

These are my favorite odd voices
Mike Patton - holy god the things that man can do with his voice.....
Nils Frykdahl(Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Idiot Flesh) - Half Opera singer from hell, half greatest black metal crooner ever.
Tom Waits - Blues, Booze, and two and a half gravel trucks
Peter Gabriel - Maybe not as odd as the others, but still weird and good
Neil Fallon - The baritone, howling prophet of this nuclear era.
Flo & Eddie - Their harmony falsettos kill me.
As to Jon Anderson , I really like his voice. It has this warm "Old Man" quality to it. Really fits his lyrics.

Bjork is another good one, as is Patton. As for the latter, anyone who works with John Zorn has to be both bizarre and a complete genius.

Just odd voices - in a good sense. I agree with Bjork, and also what about Toni Childs?

Bolan sounds so .........seductive. I'm straight, but I do believe I'd kiss Marc Bolan if he sang in that hypnotic sex voice of his.

Honestly, now, can anyone touch this?
