- Geddy Lee
- Jon Anderson
- Fish
- James LaBrie (whether or not you like it, you'll instantly recognise what you love or loathe)
- Maynard (also an unnervingly unique voice)
- Roine Stolt (again, unmistakable, regardless of how much subjectivity submits to)

This is why you should let Robin save the day...

Brian May
Steve Howe
Ringo Starr
But seriously, Chriss Squire voice is so different of anything I've heard, and the way he uses it wrapping Jon Anderson's cristal clear voice is remarkable!
Listen "Fish out of Water", Squire's solo album and tell me what you think. Jon is more than extraordinary (is "more than extraordinary" grammatically correct?) but Chriss is really something.

I like Tormato, so shoot me! Every person in the world can't think the same.

Jorn Lande (Ark) Daniel Heiman (Lost Horizon)
Jorn is unique because no one has a voice like him, but Daniel is unique because no one could ever sing his songs. I think he's quite possibly the greatest male "range singer" that the Earth will ever see.

David Surkamp. i didn't think it was possible for a guy to sing like that.
Mr. Dr also has a unique style as opposed to a unique voice.

I would say that Brett Kull is really unique due to the fact that he only sounds the same in 1/2 his songs, it seems like his voice just changes in pitch.

If the criteria is that no one else sounds like insert your choice here, then Ian Anderson is as unique as anyone mentioned so far.
Don't forget the ladies! How 'bout Annie Haslam?

Although I think I may have replied to this thread already my revised(?) list includes (and those here more for their DISTINCTION rather than their merits as BEST):
In No Order:
Peter Hammil Roine Stolt Adrian Belew Maynard James Keenan Brett Kull & Ray Weston Geddy Lee Peter Gabriel Everyone from Gentle Giant Ian Anderson Daniel Gildenlow Mark Hollis Alberto Piras Francesco DiGiacomo James Labrie Fish and H. Cedric Bixler-Zavala Bjork (although she might be bordering on the avant-pop...label(s)...sigh) Mike Patton Gavin Hayes Greg Lake Frank Zappa Deborah Perry Jarboe (see Bjork) Thom Yorke Kate Bush Toby Driver Doug Pinnick Robert Plant Les Claypool Magma's Singers (heh) Robert Wyatt Tim Bowness Kevin Moore Mikael Akerfeldt Pertonella Nettermalm (of Paatos) Danishta Rivero (of Aghora) Trey Anastasio Steven Wilson The Residents Mariusz Duda Roger Waters & David Gilmour Jon Anderson Bryan Ferry and Neal Morse
Phew went all out...those are the peoples who at last leave an impression on my ears...distinctly and for better or worse.

Why? "Unique" means "there is nothing or no-one like him/her/it". But
that doesn't mean that only one person or thing can be unique. It only
means nothing or no-one can be like that person or thing. So "another
unique one" is perfectly correct.

Your example is something else, because in your case the so-called "unique" cars are not unique by definition. But there could be more than one unique car in the race, as long as no two of them are alike.
