Best Musician Ever?!

I'm just wondering if anyone actually thinks differently when I say micheal jackson is by far the best musician ever of his time, and even our time now, nobdy can deny that and just wanna know if anyone thinks his MUSIC isn't as good as anyone else's please tell me who that person is cause ive certainly never heard of them. and dont say he sucks jut because he's done things with boys behind closed doors, this guy is the best singer/dancer just straight music maker ever. when anyone hears his musi they have this feeling to just get up and dance!

so I'm just wondering if anyone actually thinks he's not the best in his time or present time tell me who you think is better please
thanks

Not the best but very talented.

 

I think he used to be good, but has gone downhill from there.

 

No by far he is no where near the best. There are soo soo many better ones he is honestly at the bottom of the food chain. He is in fact a great DANCER if you are into that type of stuff. but his lyrics really aren't that great and from my recollection he plays no instruments therefore he is not a musician, as a vocalist I believe he is quite poor in that nature as well.

A few people who are in fact better than him.

These are just some people I thought of off the top of my head, and those are people imagine if I posted full bands. You really have to realize, He is so famous for his dancing not his musical talent. Not to mention all the publicity he has had on the news etc. and as a child.

 

damn thats alot, but i didnt mean instrument wise, or vocal wise but the actual songs and how it sounds great like micheal jacksons high voice makes the beats sound great (that wuld make a good diss but it wasn`t my intention.) his songs are just amazing to listen to. by far the best i`ve heard

 

All of pink floyd.
Geddy Lee.
Neil Peart.
Mike Portny.
Steve Vai.
Buckethead.

All virtuoso's in my book.

 

to bad buckethead sucks balls.

 

Have you even listened to him? Dudes amazing. He can play soft acoustic songs and fast shred songs and still put amazing amounts of emotion into it. Thats an A in my book.

 

Card, buckethead isn't just one person playing you know.

 

Yeah I know. But hes the main person. No one listens to buckethead songs and thinks DAMN thats a good bass line! Except that band with Buckethead and Les Claypool and stuff. That's pretty epic.

 

Actually alot of people i know who play guitar do that and say thats an amazing bass line i like that.

 

Really? Oh. Well, your people pay a lot more attention to detail then my people. Well, my main point was bucketheads a damn good musician, even if the people he performs with are good too.

 

john petrucci

 

Ray Charles is the greatest ever.

 

ray charles, stevie, micheal all 3 had great careers

 

Dave Mustaine
Slash
Axl Rose
Dexter Holland
Jimi Hendrix
Stevie Wonder
Anthony Keidis
Flea
All members of Deep Purple
Neil Peart
Zach de la Rocha
Tom Morello
Lars Fredrikson
Billy Corgan
Pete Townshend
Mick Jones
Joe Strummer
Paul Simonon
Topper Headon
list could go on

 

Fuck that. Micheal Jackson has a shitty voice, I hate the sounds he makes, and all his songs suck but one. I'd say Bob Marley, just because I love his songs the most.

 

The best drummer of all time was Buddy Rich.

But now that hes dead, the best drummer is now Tony Royster Jr.

 

Musician? If you count guitar he is FAR from the best..
Yngwie Malmsteen
Tom Morello
Joe Satriani
Just some examples

 

Best drummer:
Daniel Erlandsson.

And Micheal Jackson is far from the best musician.
