I don't know why we haven't had a top 100 of this yet but I'll start it. Name your top musicians of all time, it can be one lone guy or a band, classic rock, country or classical it doesn't matter.]
1. Warren Zevon: You could defintaly say hes was one of the wierdest guys around, but he was a great songwriter and a darn good performer.

2. Johann Sebastian Bach - he wrote over 1,000 compositions in his lifetime. He composed them over 300 years ago, and I'm betting everyone on here can hum at least 3 of his melodies even if they don't realize where they came from.

Some good and bizarre choices, there. I'd give you karma, but well.
28.Roy Orbinson-the true Man in Black. He had reason to mourn...his wife and child died in a fire at his home. :bluesad: I'm amazed he carried on. I guess we all have to...even with big empty places in our hearts that can never be filled. This ones for you, Tara Sue. I'll always love you...and we'll meet again.

Great composer, but he was also considered the greatest piano performer of the 19th century and was treated like a rock star would be today.
Thank goodness for you, Rev. :wink:

35.) Spike Jones, and his two groups. He had the "City Slickers', who did the funny, zany stuff, and he had another group which focused on serious, beautiful work. Either way, he was great at what he did.
