[MickZagger]

Most talented musician of your lifetime.

Mine, Dave Matthews.

Yours?

 

[BTOWN_HUSTLA]

Jack Johnson FTW!

 

[Minstrel]

it's hard to say, considering some musicians were brilliant song-writers, some were brilliant at playing instruments and some were brilliant singers/performers.

I'd say Thom Yorke, Michael Jackson, Prince and James Mercer are all right up there, for me.

 

[Tyler_Hansbrough]

Define 'musician'.

Does it have to be someone who plays an instrument? Or are you saying most talented artist?

 

[Tyler_Hansbrough]

Jack Johnson FTW!

Didn't peg you as a Jack Johnson fan.

 

[BTOWN_HUSTLA]

Didn't peg you as a Jack Johnson fan.

hell yeah. rocks.

 

[MickZagger]

Best multi-talented musician.

 

[TheFreshPrince]

Jack Johnson FTW!

gotta agree with you there, with norah jones as a side note just because her voice is like heaven Hard to decide on what my generation is though. I'm 20, so i'd like to think my "generation" is still going on, so both of those are probably a little early for me

 

[maxiep]

Two words: Barry. Manilow.

The matter is settled.

[LameR]

Most talented? I'd go Dragonforce. I don't understand how they do what they do.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

A few thoughts,

Bass - Jaco Pastorius

[video=youtube;wDQlSSOXU6A]

Drums - Neil Peart

[video=youtube;-Wab-wgsjOE]

Lyrics - Trent Reznor (odd choice I know, I've just enjoyed a lot of his lyrics)

[video=youtube;gjwgYvzQWS4]

Guitar - Can't really pick one.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Miley Cyrus.

End of Discussion!

BNM

 

[Rodolfo]

I'd go with John Lennon but he died a month before I was born.

Citizen Cope and Thom Yorke.

 

[ABM]

Jack Johnson FTW!

Jack Johnson is a Ben Harper wannabe.

 

[dpc]

William Hung

 

[THE HCP]

Stevie Wonder, James Brown............

 

[Tyler_Hansbrough]

Most talented? I'd go Dragonforce. I don't understand how they do what they do.

Dragonforce, although their music is assrock, they are very talented musicians.

Stevie Wonder, James Brown............

I can roll with Stevie!!!! Great choice.

 

[MrJayremmie]

Kinda impossible for me to do because there are too many talented ones, imo.

Thom Yorke, of course. Ben Harper is very talented. Victor Wooten is very talented, as is Flea. Many very technical guitarists like Satriani, Vai, Malmsteen.

Most of my favorite musicians were before my time. But as an overall musician I really like Frusciante for his writing ability, guitar playing, vocals, and then his keyboard/piano playing, bass playing, and the way he records his own music and is amazing with effects.
