Well lets hear who you think is the best musician talent wise.
My idea is Prince by a long shot. The dude is unique its like he has his own music genre. Not to add the guy can play practiaclly every damn instrument amazingly and writes all his own shit.
Britney Spears
jimi hendrix....love his guitar rips and solo
okay I'm going and I don't want anyone to think I was serious about my previous post
I'm like XTC I appreciate people who write and play their own music
Ani Defranco........I don't know if I spelt her name right!!!
peace
I had a feeling you were BSing Goose....

I;ll throw up a name or two, but first some clarifications- only LIVING musicians, right? And you are including pure composers also? (if so, you would have to weigh a kind of subjective composition + performance ability vs. pure composition vs pure performance etc).
Living or dead just your idea of ANY musician you think is note worthy

Jaco Pastorius. The guy single handedly re-invented what can be done with the bass guitar, and was, as all great musicians can proudly call themselves, an innovator.
But if it has to be someone who is still alive, Herbie Hancock; also one of the greatest innovators.
Incidently, Prince was the first ig I ever saw. Shitme, that was some bar to beat!
i gotta admit...ludacris is a very talented artist, he has a hell of a way with words, unlike ayone else, but musically id say either david grohl or alvin lee, alvin lee is a spectacular guitar player, and david grohl went from being an all-star drummer in Nirvana, to the lead singer AND guitar player of Foo Fighters....he knows alot of insturments and has good vocalsQuote:

Guitar: John McLaughlin - The guy is freakin' amazing. Not only can he play, he can write, he can improvise, he can do wierd and freaky things with distortion...
Saxophone: John Coltrane - I played the sax for a while in high school, and I came to revere this man as a god. Most inspired, and inspiring, music, not to mention the innovation...
Bass: Jaco Pastorius, for reasons mentioned above
Drums: Billy Cobham - he played with John McLaughlin in the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and the guy can do some wonderful things... One of the only drummers who actually USES the double bass drums, they're not just there for show :D

Scroll up to my preceding post for the TRUTH.
paul heaton - housemartins, nuff sed
the crew of LYNYRD SKYNYRD
Joe Satriani
Mikael Akerfeldt
Joey Jordison
That was one of m candidates too. I saw a concert of him and Manuel Burrueco, truly awsome. Burrueco has such good tone! But I give it to Satyr WangrovenQuote:
