Best and most talented musician(s) ever?

[Pancake Bandit]

My number one is an easy one:

LOVE Hendrix. The greatest guitarist of all time.


A few other honorable mentions...

Stevie Ray Vaughan
Jaco Pastorius

 

[NDFan4Life]

I'm into a lot of different music, so my choices are kind of diverse.

Joe Strummer
Johnny Ramone
Johnny Rotten
Keith Moon
Stevie Ray Vaughn

Quite a few others, but I think you get my drift.

 

[Junkhead]

Two words...Justin Bieber.

 

[arrowryan]

Lil Wayne

Lil Wayne

YOU get out,

Jay-Z and Kanye both have Weezy beat in my book.

Others: Dave Grohl, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, James Hetfield, Ray LaMontagne

Jay-Z and Kanye fell off. Their newest album together was trash. The rap game now consist of Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, Tyga, Eminem, and Drake.

 

[NDOM]

KENNY G and MICHAEL BOLTON!

KENNY G and MICHAEL BOLTON!

Im suprised you didnt say Bob Marley

 

[Irishnuke]

Impossible to say who is the best or most talented musician ever. Way too subjective. My favorites though are Jimmy Page (better than Hendrix), Kirk Hammett, eminem, Robert Plant, Maynard James Keenan, Tom Morello

Sorry Ben Stiller, I have to agree to disagree

Jay and Kanye were, and have been better than all those 2 year wonders that you mentioned (except eminem)

 

[Andy in Sactown]

John "Maddog" Tesh
Post public restroom arrest George Michaels
The Hanson Brothers, if they've been drinking
Kenny Mother****ing G.
All the acts at the Lilith Fair
Roseanne Barr
John Ashcroft
oh, and that list would not be complete without Stevie Nicks.

Just call me Bengrin:

That's true, and I really don't mind Wayne.

Other than him and Eminem, the rest of those guys you listed will be irrelevant in 2 years

Whereas Jay and Kanye have already been at or near the top for over 5 years

Wiz Khalifa and Tyga are just getting started. They are the future of rapping. Have you listened to Drake's new album? It goes hard!

Eminem has been trash for years.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Radiohead.

Have you listened to Drake's new album? It goes hard!
