Chris Isaak sort of sounds like Elvis. I think that’s his schtick tho.

I agree that dude from Creed sounds like EdVed “without the meaning”. Great line!!!

I always thought that Coldplay song (uh…clocks? The one you hear 25 times a day) was a Sting song.

🙂 I think the lead singer for At The Drive-In (now either in Mars Volta or Sparta, I forget which) sounds a lot more like Geddy Lee than Brian does.

I just KNEW someone would come up with a soundalike. ☹

Mars Volta reminds me of Siouxsie and the Banshees.

Bah! Livingston sounds like Kate who sounds like James. Alex is the only one who sounds different.
