No particular order, just as they occur to me:
Male:
1. Elvis Costello.
2. Tom Waits.
3. Bob Dylan.
4. Brad Roberts [Crash Test Dummies]
5. Roland Gift [Fine Young Cannibals]
Female:
1. Janis Joplin.
2. Patti Smith.
3. Cyndi Lauper.
4. Natalie Merchant.
5. Joni Mitchell.
All of these I could instantly pick up within a few words, whether or not I recognized the song. I'd also like to mention Billy Bragg, John Fogerty, Michael Stipe [REM], Adam Duritz [Counting Crows], Robert Plant, Freddie Mercury, John Lennon, Joan Armatrading, Annie Lennox, and Emmylou Harris.
And, for the record, the only ones to hit my top 20 vocally, as far as pure singing ability, would be Mitchell, Plant, Mercury, and Armatrading.

Bob Dylan
Janis Joplin
Leonard Cohen
Alice Cooper
Bruce Dickinson
Honorable Mentions:
Neil Young, Fred Schneider, Deborah Harry, Jello Biafra, Dave Mustaine, Jack White, Mick Jagger
I would put Rob Halford, but he's no longer at all distinctive, since so freaking many people have spent so much time attempting to copy his style over the past 3+ decades (not least of which Axl Rose, who several other people mentioned.)

1. Axl Rose- Guns N Roses
2. Geddy Lee- Rush
3. Ozzy Osbourne- Black Sabbath
4. Barry Gibb- BeeGees (I guess they are rock?)
5. James Hetfield- Metallica
You dont even need to be familiar with the song, you hear one of these, youre immediatley saying "Is that Metallica" or "That sounds like Rush".
