I once heard Cool Song #2 by MGMT without headphones and thought that it sounded like my voice until I listened closer.

No because I can't sing to save my life

I sing like an amputee. Can’t hold a note, can’t carry a tune.

I've been told I sound like Tracy Chapman.

...which would be a huge compliment, if I weren't a middle aged white male.

I think it's a compliment regardless! Some male US country music singer just covered Fast Car.

You know… I’m not sure I’d recognize my own voice if I heard it

Right? Like I know several singers with a similar vocal range as mine, but I couldn't begin to tell you if any of them "sound like" my voice

Every single one of them sounds like me singing under the shower or when singing in my car.

Uh sort of, but only when she's speaking.

There's a spoken bit on one of her tracks, and EVERY time am momentarily bamboozled into wondering why there's a sample of me speaking playing out of the speakers.

You didn't specify the artist.

I've been told I sound almost exactly the same as Matt Bellamy from Muse.

I don't hear it myself, but I do like singing Muse. Then again, I don't think I sound like me even when I record myself. What comes from the recording sounds so different than what it sounds like hearing it from my own mouth.

Years ago, an old friend of mine came up to me after a gig and told me “you sound like Dave Grohl when you scream”. I’ve never been particularly convinced of that, but I found it interesting. To my own ears, I think Simone Felice, such as on Running Through My Head.
