Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

Billy Joel, because he's the most beautiful and talented creature on the planet <3
I'm going simply by opinion on this one, but I love the piano, and the man is a wizard with it, while still being able to play other instruments, making great music, and having a great singing voice, even if he's lost some octaves over the years.
Came here to say something along these lines. The artists that most people are naming, I might like their music but I would say they are still far from the greatest living. The question is what makes the greatest living. Nirvana isn't one musician. The group all had input into the final product. Lemmy's personality got Motorhead to where they are but I wouldn't say he's an exceptionally talented musician. On the same thread of though - there are all of the big guitar virtuosos but are they as good on piano or any other instrument? Do they have the personality to push and get their music published and heard around the world? When they do get published and heard, did they actually have anything to say?
noting all of this, I don't think there is one greatest, living or otherwise.
Gilvoth> Lem' tought Sid Vicous how to play bass, though. Yet, I agree he's more of a badass figure than a talented musician, even though I'd be unable to play any of his riffs considering I can barely play bass.
I'd like to add Kerry King for badassery/talent, and Serj Tankian and Dave Grohl for talent only
Not taking into account people who used to make music but now stopped I'd say.... I dunno... maybe Andrew W.K?
Knew what you meant mentioning them, just an example. Same could be said for Zeppelin but lesser extent. There was pretty high level of personal style and skill to each of the members of that band. I have come to respect Dave Grohl's work though - Foo Fighters originally being a one man band, Them Crooked Vultures, work with Trent Reznor... He does a lot...
Also agree on the level of it. Amy Winehouse was actually a good artist for that reason. She caught a lot of shit for her drug/alcohol abuse but she really was talented.
Thanks for that. I forget blues exists sometimes. Had to load up B.B. King and Stevie Ray Vaughan on my Spotify...Thats why I love blues. There just is something about self-taught, imperfect, out of tune signing and playing.
Yep. David Gilmour.
only one legend and that's the boss, Bruce Springsteen
