For me Michael Jackson is the best ever hands down.

Freddie Mercury, Dimebag, Dio, Cliff Burton and etc
Im sure that Tim McIlrath will be well known for his lyrics, which cant be matched by anyone, in the future

In my opinion it's insulting to truly gifted/talented musicians when they are placed behind a group of extremely commercially successful sellouts like Metallica.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Metallica fan, but greatest musicians? Give me a break. They're average musicians with above average marketability. Nothing more.
Knopfler?
Muse / Bellamy?
The Pink Floyds?
IMHO, Bach is the first, he wrote the rules every one else applied in occidental music...
Beethoven is missing.
Therefor no vote from me.
It's really hard to tell, seeing how the classical composers contributed to music so much. But there are so many great bands and artists that existed in the 20th century. So I guess I'm gonna have to divide it up.
Classical: I'm gonna have to say Bach.
Modern Classical: Igor Stravinsky (spelling?), barely beat out John Williams
Modern Popular: A tough one, but I'm gonna have to say Led Zeppelin, seeing how they took what everyone before them made, and made it kickass. Music as you now it wouldn't exist without Led Zeppelin. And one more reason, a little thing called Physical Graffiti.

So you are saying Kirk is better then the nu metal/whatnot guitar players that cant even pull a decent solo? that doesnt make him any good
I voted Mozart because he is the GREATEST musician on that list. Someone mentioned Bach and Beethovn, thumbs up for them
One problem: greatest musician is a bit subjective. many ppl will reply with the musician they like the most, even if he cant arrange anything musically complex. whereas for me thats the core of being a great musician.

Isaac Brock.
Raw music, not the uninspired kiddy pop bullshit you hear on the radio.
One of the best lyricists of our time. Or all time.
On the list, Mozart.
I play piano, and I try to write a little, so it really puts into perspective how much of a genius he was.

This post was merely a setback!
Robert Johnson
Bob Marley. He has something unique to offer.
Trent Reznor is by far among my greatest musicians.
