Best musician in any category not already covered by a previous thread

Ravi Shankar

 

Miles Davis, trumpet.
John Coltrane, Saxophone.
Thelonius Monk, Piano.

 

Clarence Clemons.

Billy Joel.

Axl Rose.

The dude Dio takes on tour just to play the keyboard for "Rainbow in the Dark"

 

Bob mentioned Prince. The guy can play.

I think Billy Corrigan did the same thing (play everything on the cd) with the Smashing Pumpkins.

 

Garth Hudson

 

HAHA [sarcasm] I get it -- I hope -- I think -- I pray to God

 

Walter Ostanek, accordion.

 

Tony Orlando.

 

Billy Corgan apparently played most of the guitars and bass on "Siamese Dream" because James Iha and D'Arcy weren't that great. But Jimmy Chamberlin played all of the drums.
Prince, Stevie Wonder and Lenny Kravitz played pretty much all of the instruments on a couple of their albums, just bringing in session guys for guest spots.
Oh, and the only list that Jonathan Davis should be on is worst singer. That asshole has an annoying-ass whiny voice. His band sucks gorilla cocks, too.

 

I forgot about Lenny. Good call.

It sadly does seem strange to see a black man play an instrument in this day and age of rap and hip hop. I realized that when I saw a Bloc Party video.

 

The guy from The Eels. Great music. Isn't he a one-man band?

 

Yeah, E. he makes great bouncy music with depressing topics. Sing along about death and the human condition kiddies!!
