danelectro Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) It appears most people here only listen to rock music, nearly every one of these lists are limited to rock musicians. My lists wouldn't include many rock musicians, if you can talk about skills without having preferences the famous jazz guys should all be top five every time with a few true rock innovators like Hendrix sprinkled in. Lars Ulrich over Krupa or Rich, oh hell no, I don't think I could find room for Bonham in the top five either. Best and favorite aren't the same thing, you have to be able to put on blinders to be truthful.

Best and favorite aren't the same thing, you have to be able to put on blinders to be truthful. Agreed. I think it should be termed "favorite" instead of "best" because that's all it is. There is no official competition that I know of to judge who's best in these categories. NOW, maybe we can sell the idea to ABC and instead of "dancing with the stars" we'll have "Jamming with the Stars" Complete with celebrity instructors. Could you see Jimmy Page teaching Venus Williams how to play the solo to Stairway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
