Musicians you worship even if not in your favourite genre

[OmegaSlayer]

For me it's Chris Huelsbeck.
What this guy was able to do in the 90s with the 16-bit synth processor in the Commodore Amiga was out of this world.
I think the Turrican soundtrack is one of the coolest thing ever.

Love this track to death

[cGoEcYk]

Jeff Buckley is one of my all time favorites.

I guess if I was to get close to worship it would be Yehudi Menuhin.

I got no favourite genre, so I worship every musician I admire

I like to explicitly state that I admire musicians, not guitarists, drummers, other instrument players or conductors or composers. It all boils down to being a musician.

 

[NickS]

Stanley Jordan.

And Justin Timberlake, from a pure entertainer/performer perspective. Watch this medley he did on Jimmy Fallon's show. Pretty fvcking impressive.

I totally agree with that, especially in the case of drummers because I can't do a damn thing on a drum kit (not that I've ever put much effort in to trying it). But yes, any musician period can gain my admiration.

 

[wakjob]

Brad Paisley. Dude can rip.

 

[Forkface]

John Mayer. Seriously one of the best guitar players in history.

[vilk]

^You're talking about King Diamond, right?


Stevie Wonder for me. I don't really get into that kind of music much, but that guy is just so cool.

 

[Nats]

R. Kelly. Trapped in the closet is hilarious and flawless and I like to dance to his other songs. I also like to pee on girls.

 

[Mprinsje]

Justin Timberlake.

And the whole Wu Tang Clan

R. Kelly. Trapped in the closet is hilarious and flawless and I like to dance to his other songs. I also like to pee on girls.

I'm so torn on R.Kelly, he's most likely a piece of shit as a person but his songs are so damn good.
