The Stooges could never be replicated... many have tried but, no.

Yep, and it still blows my mind when I listen to the differences between Iggy's and Bowie's "China Girl".

Ian Dury and the Blockheads would fit into the unique area for sure. Like so many others they didn't last long.

Cake has a pretty unique sound to them. They've put out some really good albums.

Their second album was better than the first. Just my opinion....

Cake!  Yes!!!  Their cover of "I Will Survive" is amazing.

Steely Dan is a great example... no one can touch the Dan. Have you ever listened to the Record Plant recordings... used to be a bootleg but I don't know if it still is.

 

 

My “nerd” hobby is collecting 70s era stereo gear, and there’s no better recording to show off a system than “Aja” …. Their pursuit of excellence in the recording studio is second to none

Crash Test Dummies - that baritone!

Decemberists - historical subject matter making for interesting songs

Rickie Lee Jones - Unique voice

Rhye - just two guys as far as I’m aware, unique vocals 

Thomas Dolby - his autobiography is very interesting 

10,000 Maniacs - Natalie’s vocalizations are unique

Blue Man Group - The Complex is a great album with guest vocalists. 
Enya - vocals 

 

Just read this again.  Decemberists: YES, please!

The Ramones, Supertramp, and  the original lineup for Little Feat will never be copied.  Agree with Zappa, ELO,  Devo, King Crimson as well.

Lowell George was in Zappa's Mother of Invention... so that legacy lives on.

If I'm correct, the drummer for Little Feat (RIP) played on "You're No Good" by Linda Rondstadt.  I loved warming up (drums) to that tune!

Radiohead is certainly unusual.

 

Also, not so much for the overall sound, but purely for LYRICS....The Who.

 

Study their lyrics closely; they are weird and not like other rock bands.
