No doubt in my mind Zappa is/was the "best". I don't think he will be really understood until the aliens land. Ever read the philosophy book written about him? "The negative dialectics of poodle play" i put it down after 100 pages for fear my head was going to explode.

My favorite? tied: vedder, marley, brad smith from the band abandon jalopy

Boy, this is tough. Here goes:

1. Jimi Hendrix: Great rock voice, genius guitar playing, and never took a bad picture
2. Robert Plant: Takes a mighty, mighty man to stand in front of the 3 best rockers in history
3. Bono: Writes brilliant songs and fronts the best band in the last 2 decades.
4. Mick Jagger: Also a great songwriter, and dispels the myth that white men can't dance. :biggrin:
