So a thread about who I, or we, think are the greatest musicians to touch the world with their talents.
Note : this doesn't necessarily mean they are talented in a traditional sense, more just musicians I think are good at what they do from just a listening perspective. I don't have the musical knowledge to judge them based on such talent. I'm willing to bet most of you don't either.
Vocals
Anthony Green (Circa Survive) - after Riel's thread I re-downloaded their stuff, and I love his voice.
Dallas Green (City and Colour, Alexisonfire)
Matt Bellamy (Muse)
Robin Pecknold (Fleet Foxes)
Nick Cave (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds)
Cedric Bixler-Zavala (The Mars Volta, At The Drive In)
Davey Havoc (AFI)
Kele Okereke (Bloc Party)
John Frusciante (Red Hot Chilli Peppers) - I like him more than Anthony, though I do enjoy both of them.
Jack Black (Tenacious D) - Seriously....
Hayley Williams (Paramore)
Ollie Sykes (Bring Me The Horizon) - I find them bearable because I think his vocals are quite refreshing for the whole 'death metal' genre...
Howlin' Pelle (The Hives)
Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin)
Natasha Khan (Bat For Lashes)
Bjork (Bjork)
Wally DeBecker (Gotye)
Robert Harvey (The Music)
So on.....
Guitar
Yannis Philippakis and Jimmy Smith (Foals) - fuck, simple as music. But together with the effects and sounds they can make with their instruments I absolutely adore Foals
John Butler (John Butler Trio)
Johnny Marr (The Smiths, Modest Mouse)
Omar Rodríguez-López (The Mars Volta, At The Drive In)
Josh Homme (Queens Of The Stone Age)
I will add to this one..
Bass Guitar
Jesse F Keeler (Death From Above 1979)
Flee (Red Hot Chilli Peppers)
Eric Judy (Modest Mouse)
Sting (The Police)
Dave Konopka (Battles)
Christopher Wolstenholme (Muse)
Walter Gervers (Foals) - this might come up a bit
Drums
John Bohnam (Led Zeppelin)
Travis Barker (Blink 182, Plus 44) - from a drummer's point of view, this guy can fucking drum.
Dominic Howard (Muse) - cause he is left handed as well ^^
Jack Bevan (Foals) - Im a bit of a fan of how he plays. Its not hard drumming but I think its quite effective the old disco drums
Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Them Crooked Vultures)
Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters) - just the passion
Thomas Pridgen (The Mars Volta)
Ringo Starr (The Beatles)
Jon Theradore (The Mars Volta)
I'll add other instruments later one.... Feel free to as well
