wOw!
you guys are GOOD at this!
there is so much spectacular talent out there... past AND present
if i tried to pick a favorite, i'm afraid my head would 'asplode.
and i can imagine it would be quite the mess to clean up... so i won't even THINK about it.

Music is the poetry of the air!

me?

[something]

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.

Who, in your opinion, is the greatest band/artist from the past/present/future?

My avatar man.

But I also love Richie Blackmore of Deep Purple, Clapton, Jeff Hanneman, Cobain, Brad Nowell of Sublime, all kinds of shit, but Cobain first influenced me to play some angrier music, then I moved onto even heavier music, and that's where Dimebag came into play.
