Who, in your opinion, is the greatest band/artist from the past/present/future?
I'm a lover of all music, and I know that it's typical of a stoner to say Bob Marley, but honestly when you listen to his music, it's easy to tell that he put his soul into it. So my vote goes to Bob.
Steve Vai
Steve Vai
Per Yngve Ohlin of Mayhem
Gong(psychedelic/space rock).
Everytime I play them... I get the intense craving to start doing psychedelic drugs. No other sound has ever really given me that vibe before.
Metallica
They are the one band that made music that has made my hair stand
Yngwie Malmsteen
devin townsend
Jason Lytle.
Jerry Garcia, and right behind him, me (but, not in that sense):D
dai*ma:stoned: sfca land of the free, home of the Dead
simple plan.
Jimi Hendrix
Pink Floyd
best single person - hendrix
best band - floyd

band: pink floyd

you guys are GOOD at this!
there is so much spectacular talent out there... past AND present

Music is the poetry of the air!

went 2c rolling stones on tuesday not fav queen is but brill concert,but when the mood takes like simon and garfunkal
I would have to say jimi hendrix...best shit out there you can really feel his music stoned or sober dont matter...
me?
well i couldn't even come close to making a list like that, i would write down like 250 musicians, but i noticed everyone kinda stuck to rock musicians basically
how about guys like charlie parker, the duke, john coltrane, barney bigard, miles davis, oscar peterson, herbie hancock, louis armstrong, sonny rollins, monk, count basie, dizzy, and bill evans.
i could go on and on and have no idea who's the "best," they're all so different.
some rock n roll greats that i love i guess would be, jimmy page, keith richards, keith moon, hendrix, clapton, tim mahoney, john paul jones, goes on and on
then guys like ray charles, god dammit, i could just keep going, time to stop.
all those guys are just about untouchable.
