Top 4 Favorite Musical Artists.

Posted: Fri Nov 04, 2005 1:36 am

I'm gonna' list my top five favorite musicians, from each spot in the (most common kind of) band. Do you have a Top 4 list, of your favorites? Please list em' here if ya' do...

1) Favorite lead-singer and lyricist- Brandon Boyd, Incubus
2) Favorite guitarist- Wes Borland, Limp Bizkit + soon to be revealed, Black Light Burns
3) Favorite Bassist- Jeordie White, A perfect Circle + Former M. Manson
4) Favorite Drummer- Danny Carey, TOOL

Keep in mind, this isn't necessarily about who you think is the best at each spot in a band. It's about who's talent you most enjoy, just out of musical taste. Later!

Ok, I'll play

1) Favorite lead-singer and lyricist-
Check out Rose Reiter's stuff on this site if you haven't. It's up there with the best imho

2) Favorite guitarist-
Gotta stay with Eddie Van Halen. Even though his time has passed he was a major influence in my teen years when I was learning to play.

3) Favorite Bassist-
This one's tough. Probably Flea

4) Favorite Drummer- While I'm not a huge Zep fan, John Bonham's grooves stand out to me when I hear their stuff on the radio.

I can't download anything, 'cause the process screws up everytime, so I can't check Rose Reiter's music out currently. Otherwise, I like your musical taste. Very Happy

Later!

I guess it all depends on the mood I'm in. . . but . . I'll try . .

ok
Guitar player - Jeff Beck or Mike Stern also Jimi of course
Bass Player - Chris Squire or Chris Wood also Flea (I agree smili)
Vocals - Jim Morrison, Van Morrison, Jon Anderson, John Lennon . . etc
Musician - Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix
Drummer - Terry Bozio and the drummer who is playing on tour with Chris Botti that I saw at the Jazz fest in New Haven Ct. in Aug. .05, the best drummer I ever saw in my life and I shamefully don't know his name... Embarassed

oh well, I tried . . . Confused

My 'signed' artist favorites are:

Best Songwriter: I agee that Dylan is one of the most prolific ever and is my choice, although I must give props to McCartney/Lennon & Paul Simon.

Best Guitar Player: Tough call, but for his time, I always thought that Eddie Van Halen was very innovative. Honorable mention goes to Les Paul.

Best Bass Player: Probably Les Claypool, but I don't follow him that much.

Best Drummer: Neil Pert - This guy really is on an entirely different level than everyone else technically. I was never a big Rush fan, but in listening to their old tunes and hearing his tempo changes, he deserves the prize in my book.

Best Vocalist: Stevie Nicks, and a hell of a songwriter too!

Dylan was a human paintbrush... I'm not too familiar with his lyrics, just yet, but what I have heard on tv, or seen online, etc., quite obviously confirms why many see him as a legend. -'cause he is one.

Nice choices, Ron! Very Happy

-Hope lief's treatin' you well. Wink

Later!

Hey man, that's cool with me. This thread was just meant to show what people view as true musical artistry, as felt within their opinionative thoughts. -A thread made to have fun with. Very Happy

Later, Erick!

1) Favorite lead-singer and lyricist - Maynard James Keenan - TOOL
2) Favorite guitarist - David Gilmour/Joe Satriani/Adam Jones/Jeff Beck/John Petrucci
(don't ask me to narrow it down further!)
3) Favorite Bassist - Flea, LesClaypool or my friend Johnny from Griever
4) Favorite Drummer - Danny Carey - TOOL

Singer and drummer were easy, the other two had to think about.

Gonna get in on this. Felt inspired.

Favourite Songwriter: Devin Townsend. Genius. Pure...Genius. There is nothing this man cannot do, but what he -does- do blows me away everytime.

Favourite Guitarist: Dimebag Darrel. R.I.P brother.Pure magic and the sole reason I picked up a guitar in the first place.

Favourite Bassist: Flea. Amazing sound, innovative predominance that bassists rarely achieve in a band.

Favourite Drummer: Neil Pert - Nick Barker (Dimmu Borgir/Cradle of Filth) A tough one to call, there were four I picked out for this and kept changing my mind. They were; Chris Kontos, Thomas Haake & Vinnie Paul. Ended up with Nick Barker, over pure mechanical precision and creative flair.

Favourite Vocalist: David Bowie. Cant actually sing that great, but his voice just captivates me whenever I hear it. ESPECIALLY on Under Pressure with Queen.

And thats mine.

Dude, Dimebag (R.I.P.) died about three to four hours away from where I live. I've never really been that into Pantera, but I've heard his guitaring, and that was a big loss for music that night. Later!
