We're counting down our picks for the artists with the most distinctive vocals.

David Bowie , Janis Joplin , Tiny Tim , Freddie Mercury , Amy Winehouse , Eddie Vedder , Chris Cornell and Johnny Cash all feature in the list.

Mojo is counting down the list of the most memorable artists with distinctive voices.

Cher 's contralto voice is characterized by a deep, resonant quality that, unlike most lower register voices, is heavy on the vibrato.

With such a wide range and that ability to hit piercingly high notes with seemingly little effort, there aren't many vocalists out there who can compete.

There's a lot more to Barry Gib than the Hinds , but those upper notes give him a punch few others can throw.

Bjork's soaring soprano vocals and delivery have helped to make her one of the most compelling and celebrated alternative artists working today .

Tom Waits's voice is guttural, which makes it perfect for the darker atmosphere he celebrates in much of his work.
