One of the top all round versatile musicians with the X Factor has got to be Joe Brown even though he is now getting on a bit.

[Icy Gull]

Keith Moon
Mick Jagger
Robert Plant

[Laughing Gravy]

Don Henley from the Eagles. Anyone that can play the drums as good as he can and sing at the same time has it for me.

Not forgetting Ray Charles

 

[Huple]

But more than any other musician, I'd say for me the bloke with the mostest is Captain Beefheart. Absolutely driven in his pursuit for fame and fortune. Would most certainly have been in prison or a lunatic asylum otherwise.

What do you reckon?

Lost all respect for him when he sold out and did that track off Strictly Personal called Gimme Dat Harp Boy about his love of cheap Pilsner lagers.

 

[Icy Gull]

Hendrix

I only seem to be able to think of really old people.

Who?

 

[Barrow Boy]

Robbie Williams, love him or hate him you have to admit he usually nails his live performances and has the audience in the palm of his hand. He totally 'owned' Live 8 in 2006, and I'm not a particular fan of his, but credit where credit's due.
