Peter Gabriel, Maynard James Keenan, David Gilmour, Daniel Gildenlow, etc..


I honestly don't find Geddy Lee's voice that unique, just like any other prog singer with a high voice.

Sound like more English abuse: another unique..............................???


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.

The lead car is absolutely unique, except for the one behind it which is identical (Murray Walker - Formula one commentator.)


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.

following this thread made my head spin.

peter hammil - he has such diversity in the tone of his voice...he can sing softly and beautifully, of

hard and in your face

Peter Gabriel - has a very unique octave and has the gruff sound to his voice which strongly compliments his more emmotional songs like "In Your Eyes"

I think all great singers are unique. One of the marks of greatness is not sounding like everyone else. On the other hand, if by "unique" we mean "weird-sounding", then it's quite another matter... Anyway, how come no one mentioned Kate Bush?

The idea of someone being more unique than
another is absurd. You are either unique or not, you
cannot quantify it.

Haha, erm Mickey!

I've said my piece a good while back, but:

Peter Hammill (obviously)
Sofie Erichsen (of White Willow)

They're my top 2.
