[Jamezz]

Me in Austin, paying tribute to the great SRV. That's how big of a fan I am.

 

[NAOS]

Jim O'Rourke, for sure

 

[RandyForRubio]

Has anyone said Frank Zappa?


I'll say it again-- Frank Zappa.

Just cause you try to look like him

 

[Scat]

Danny Elfman... He did the theme song for The Simpson's for hell's sake!!

[Gameface]

To me, idolizing people for their musical talent is like idolizing people for their penmanship.

 

[Stoked]

You've already got Miles Davis and Coltrane.

Possible candidates include Hendrix, Sinatra, Cash, BB King, Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan, Frank Zappa, Haggard, Hank Williams and Armstrong.

That list has musicians that started genres (or redefined them) and talents for instruments and singing.

Has anyone said Frank Zappa?


I'll say it again-- Frank Zappa.

Yo

 

[Hekate]

I would add Charles Mingus to Coltrane and Miles Davis.

Have to add Robert Johnson. Armstrong as well.

Then goes with

Jimi Hendrix
Thelonius Monk
Muddy Waters
Ella Fitzgerald
Chet Baker

It goes on.

Not really as great or important but one of my personal favourites is Terry Callier.

 

[MVP]

So nobody mentioned this guy?

I came here for one reason, and one reason only. This list starts with Nickelback. It can end anywhere else you please, but that is where it begins.
