Hey what r u a mook LBH MUSICAINS NOT BANDS

[Low_Budget_Hooker]

Sorry Dom,Do me a favor, pick the 12 top musicians out of that list of bands and go with that,lol!!

There's no "I" in "team",lol

Reminds me of somthing else, least favorite musician= STING

From a comment he made back in the 90's when he was asked if he would ever go back to playing with the POLICE.

His answer was....

"that would be like a college professor going back to teach 3rd grade"

How friggin' arrogant, and I'll be the first one to say it, STEWART COPELAND was 1/2 of that "original" police sound. Every bit as much as Sting.

[RiskKid.]

Everybody has named some greats and reminded me of some favorites I've forgotten. Some thoughts not previously mentioned:

I really like Chick Corea on the ivorys.

Elvis for wigglin around and drivin the crazy

Clarence Carter for havin more fun with lyrics than outta be legal

Tony Joe White for inventin swamp music

And since I'm from the Music City.....the grandpa of country music Mr Hank Williams

How can we leave out Ms Billie Holliday

Mr Ray Charles on keyboards combining country and rock & roll

And an honorable mention to the late Harry Carey for singin "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" during the seventh inning stretch at Wrigley  

[Crabcakes]

Some favorites not a dozen but these come to mind:

Vocals- Jeff Buckley, Layne Staley (Alice in Chains)

bass- Cliff Burton (Metallica) , flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers)

guitar- Fred "Sonic" Smith (MC5), Jeff Beck

piano- I have an irrational personal hatred for the piano.... odd I know

Drums- Leon Mobley (Ben Harper's Djembe guy)

[fatbass]

Tough choices.  Too many to choose from.

Vocals: Johnny Cash,  Roy Orbison,  Frank Sinatra

Guitar:  The Edge, Pete Townsend, Luther Perkins, Robert Johnson

Piano: Jerry Lee Lewis

Bass: Paul Simonon, Bill Wyman

Drums: Kieth Moon, Charlie Watts

[senile1]

These lists are so difficult to do because there are so many great musicians and it is hard to narrow the list to 12 or even 50.  Also, I forget to name people and after I create a list I look at it and say why didn't I think of so and so.  So for this moment in time, these are who I thought of:

Drums:  Mike Portnoy, Neil Peart

Bass:  Stanley Clarke, Geddy Lee, Billy Sheehan

Trumpet:  Miles Davis

Harmonica:  John Popper

Keyboards:  Chick Corea, Keith Emerson, Jordan Rudess

Guitar:  Andres Segovia, Christopher Parkening, Joe Pass, Steve Vai, Jimmy Hendrix, Paco De Lucia,       Al Dimeola, Steve Morse, John Petrucci

Vocals:  Ronnie James Dio, Geoff Tate, Barbara Streisand

As an aside to LBH:  I agree with you regarding The Police but I give Andy Summers the nod as the one who made them unique.  Andy Summers wasn't an extravagant or technical virtuoso, but his guitar playing was very unique and without it, The Police would have been nothing but very basic drum and bass lines played to a rockin', reggae beat.  Without Summer's guitar there was no color to their music.

[Murray]

lDrums: buddy rich, mike portnoy, jojo meyer

guitar: john petrucci, trey anastasio, keller williams, david gilmour

bass: les claypool, victor wooten

keys: rick wakeman, richard wright

harmonica: junior wells

(edit)

forgot to add vocals: shannon hoon, brandon boyd, damien rice  

red = allstar band.

Yeah, that's awesome. Who'd uh thunk there'd be such a great mix on an ol' redneck fishin' forum. ;D

This is really tuff! I could go on and on if I sat and thought about this. Here's some on the top of my head though.

Vocals - Sinatra. Don't forget Dean Martin if not for vocals that guy was smooth. Johnny Cash, Alison Krauss, of course John Lennon, Brent Mydland of the Dead. Loved his raspy ol voice.

Guitar - Hendrix, Anastasio, SRV, Edie Van Halen, Pat Metheny

Dobro - Jerry Douglas

Bass - Vic Wooten, Jaco Pastorius

Drums - Carter Beauford, John Bonham, Stewart Copeland.

Keys - T. Monk, Rick Wakeman, Page McConnell

Banjo - Bela Fleck

Mandolin - Dave Grisman

And what would music be without Songwriters - Robert Hunter, Bob Marley, John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

O.K that's more than a dozen. my mistake.
