I guess you meant only those you listen to imitate Plant and Tyler... You should try vocalists like Micheal Stipe, Jon Anderson, Ian Anderson, Sting, Brad Delp, Peter Gabriel, Roger Waters and virtually any female vocalist would be different... If you are interested the bands for which each vocalist above sings for are (respectively): REM, Yes, Jethro Tull, The Police/Sting, Boston, Genesis/Gabriel solo, Pink Floyd/Waters solo, and Sinead O'Connor, Kate Bush, Edie Brickell, among others.... To me the above vocalists (to just name a few) all have their own very unique style of singing... They could not sing the songs they do using the Plant or Tyler styles, it would sound completely different... What vocalists do you feel imitate Plant and Tyler so much (I would agree that there are probably quite a few)? H.C.E.
