Re: Best music artist ever?

This one is waaay too tough for me, but I will list a couple of favorites:<br /><br />Top of the list . . . Ambrosia (Genesis close 2nd)<br />Current Favorite . . . Kevin Gilbert<br />Favorite rock guitarist . . . Eddie VanHalen<br />Southern Rock . . . Allman Bros<br />Jazz Fusion . . . Brand X (Return to Forever close second)<br />Favorite Bassist . . . Jaco Pastorius<br />Favorite singer . . . David Pack<br /><br />Ya know the one thing that REALLY bugs me about these lists is the Beatles never get mentioned and frankly they should be at the top of my list and many others. Most of these guys have them to thank for their successes. BTW, if you have a chance to see McCartney, go!!!! You will not be sorry. Broke maybe, but not sorry ;)

Anyone who can do there music live and still sound like themselves without a computer has my respect. Alison Krauss and Union Station would be one at the top of the list even though my music tastes range from Marvin Gay to Rage Against the Machine.

Okay Aldo, since you came out, I'll admit it, as far as older music, I love Frank Sinatra.

SoulWinner "Close your eyes forever" that's Lita Ford with Ozzy. My favorites Best of all time the early Who "The Who Sellout" Best Live show Alvin Lee from Ten Years After there never is or will be someone that plays like that. Last week I took the wife to go see Sarah Brightman in Wochester Mass I NEVER ever heard someone sing like that I'm not a big fan of that type of music but the next day I bought 3 of her cd's Stunning voice and show...
