Wow another list Rolling Stone butchered 😏😉

Lol. I don’t care who butchered what, guitarist wise, Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix are probably my top 2.

Not arguing that.  If we confined “most talented” to the guitar, you’re spot on.  

[AggiesAreWe]

I would say Prince is the greatest musician.

I read an interview with Eddie Van Halen and he was asked who the most gifted and "best" guitarist was and his answer was Chet Atkins. Said the man could play anything and he only wished he had his talent.

I understand many top guitarists have the same opinion.

[Kountzer]

Jimi Hendrix.

I totally agree on Chet Atkins. I almost listed him and Mark Knopfler, but I figured it would fall on deaf ears. Lol.

No offense, but Jimi's skill is way overrated.  Definitely a trailblazer and he should be credited for laying the building blocks for what came after, but honestly his talent is mundane by modern standards.   Sorry.  John Mayer is 10x the musician that Jimi Hendrix was.  

 

It's kinda like watching the old UFCs.  Royce Gracie deserves a ton of talent for walking through the field in those first few UFCs, but the worst modern 170 lb fighter on the UFC would destroy anybody in that field of competitors from the first few UFCs...  Royce included.   Kinda like the fact that the 2021 Browns would run all over the 86 Bears hypothetically.

My list of the most talented musicians starts with Freddie Mercury, and then you can debate after that.  Then again, I love Queen's music, and don't particularly care for many of Prince's songs.  

[new tobie]

1-The Beatles

2- Bob Dylan

Freddie Mercury is the best front man, ever, in my opinion.  

 

I had the kids watching Queen live from Montreal about 6 years ago... they were so put off by his prancing around and mannerisms, but had to admit that he was the best vocalist that they'd heard.  Then how I explained that nobody knew FM was gay until he came out... every queer since then has simply been imitating Freddie Mercury.

😂🤣. Fair enough!

Jimmy Page for me, but again, that comes down to style. He could play any genre.and some of his riffs are unbelievable.

I’ll get some comments on this one. I didn’t care for his music per se, but Roy Clark could play anything with a string on it. I think it was his acoustical version of Malagueña that was out of this world.

[mat]

Roy Clark is to tier.

I’m not a big MJ fan but he was ground breaking and set bar for Super Bowl performances. One of the best entertainers ever.

You young whipper-snappers have a weird taste in music (or more accurately, noise).  Good grief, no wonder this country is about to implode.  It all started when The Beatles came out with Yellow Submarine, and it gets worse with each new style.  What’s worse than Rap?  My mind refuses to go there.

And to think, I used to respect you guys - Hoops, tvc, bullets, AAW, Smash Mouth, and et tu baddog?

Carry on children.

Just saw this eloquent post:

RAP IS LIKE SCISSORS, IT ALWAYS LOSES TO ROCK!

 

Which loses to old rock or country.  I would list some but you young folks wouldn’t recognize names like The Temptations or Haggard.  If you did you wouldn’t be extolling the virtues of Princesses or Hemi Jendrix.  Smh 

Here endeth the lesson.

Lol. He sure did. I wouldn’t say he “was” Fleetwood Mac, but he was definitely a major contributor.

His love/hate relationship with Stevie Nicks was what led to their demise. They struggled without him. His influence was monumental to their success, so that’s why I gave him that label. All good things must end, for whatever reason. Most can voice the lyrics to Fleetwood hits. Where he ranks as a top guitarist, I have no ranking.
