I have a frighteningly large number of pudge-related RSS feeds in my Google Reader subscriptions, including a few that I scrape myself. The PudgeFeed is by no means complete.:) I'd be truly worried about myself for this if they weren't actually such a miniscule percentage of my total set of subscriptions. (And besides they were good exercises in screen scraping, HTML parsing, and feed generation.)
Yes it is Rockwell and MJ, no, I wasn't listening to it. Well, except in my head. And that is how I knew it was MJ, because I could hear it in my head even though I've not heard the song in decades probably, and his voice is unmistakable. You can probably appreciate this: when I first saw the movie Twister, I knew nothing about the soundtrack at all, but this guitar riff comes in. Song I'd never heard before. And I said, "hey, that's Eddie Van Halen!" It was "Humans Being." Some voices -- whether human
Some voices -- whether human, guitar, whatever -- are just unique.
Yup - add Zakk Wylde to that list - easy to pick out his guitar tone and use (overuse?) of artificial harmonics.
I think U2 on the whole is very recognizable, but if only edge was playing, even in the heydey 80's, I don't think I could have picked him out from just another studio musician.
Tom Sholz's guitar is always instantly recognizable to me - more topical here because he's the ultimate nerd-engineer guitarist.
And of course nobody's guitar sounds like Stevie Ray Vaughn's did with those heavy, heavy strings That guy had to have hands like a vice grip. I still find myself thinking of the music he'd have made the last 15 plus years if he were still around. Sigh.
A budget is just a method of worrying before you spend money, as well
as afterward.

Edge: not so much.
Add Angus Young to that list though.
