[Wolf]

No one has a rough gritty growl like John Kay of Steppenwolf. Talk about a signiture sound !!

How about John Fogerty?

I have agree with you about John Kay. The song "The Pusher" is really intense and I don't think anyone else could pull it off as well as he did.

If you like Dylan you might also like Tom Petty.

There's also:
Ricky Lancelotti (he did lead vocals on some Zappa songs)
Steven Tyler of Aerosmith
Terry Kath of Chicago
Lydia Pence of Cold Blood
Bob Seger
Dr. John
Johnny and Edgar Winter (The Winter Brothers)

Don't know his name, but the singer from Cactus has a rough rock voice.

How about John Fogerty?

This is the first name that came to mind.

I just happen to have the Band on the box right now. While the Byrds and CS&N are among the best for polished group harmony, I love the "rough 'n' gruff" group harmonies of the Band.
