Because it depends on ones taste and mood; it also depends on weather you are considering writing ability as well as instrumental and singing talent. Here are some of the folks I think are the greatest when considering everything ..... but number one depends on the day, the mood, the situation, and blood alcohol content.
Billy Joel
Paul McCartney
Paul Simon
Mick Jagger
Kris Kristofferson (after beer number 4+)
John Denver
Dolly Parton
Bob Dylan
James Taylor
James Brown
Jim Croce
Otis Redding
Elton John
Stevie Wonder
Willie Nelson
Queen
Bruce Springsteen

Guitar is a very simple instrument, played almost always by a person who knows little or nothing about music.
I heard the head of the music department at AU say that guitar is easier to play than kazoo.
His logic was that to play kazoo you had to at least be able to carry a tune. With a guitar and a paper with dots on it an uncoordinated fool could play a song.

I have always wondered if a certain rumor is true...so maybe this post is buried deep enough here not to bother anyone...I know, I know...get to it...So here it is...this rumor is about the Tina Turner concert in Troy, Alabama many years ago. Anybody there?..and happened to be on the front row?? Sooooo....is the rumor true or false??

I don't know about Tina Turner but in early 1956, the fabulous Nat King Cole and his integrated group played to a segregated audience in the municipal auditorium in Birmingham. Four members of the White Citizens Council attacked him on the stage. Although hurt, Cole returned to the stage and completed his performance for the audience of 4,000. Cole, who had frequently visited in Montgomery, vowed never to return to the South, and he did not.

Oh, well, so much for the "hidden post" theory.....actually, the rumor I was referring to was about Tina's "wardrobe malfunction"...or better said 'non-function'.......was rumored that an important undergarment item was missing. I had never heard the Nat King Cole story. Thanks for sharing.

With ya on the Matchbox 20 as great group, not sure it would rate as the BEST though. But 'yourself or somone lie you" is my favorite rock album, and I go back DECADES listeining to music. Rob Thomas may be the best songwriter alive.

Whoops I think I hit the wrong key. I do not think that Pink Floyd is the best. They are OK but not great. I vote now for Roy Orbison, tomorrow it may be someone else. Good topic there 6 strings.

reading this thread! No one mentioned any of the first blues/R&R folks from the 50's (after the "Hit Parade" waned): Muddy Waters, Bo Diddly (with Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown), Jimmy Reed (with "Mama" standing just off-stage feeding him the lyrics), Fats Domino (seen recently in New Orleans at a lunch counter - very courteous and friendly), Bobby Blue Bland, Jackie Wilson, and the great B.B. King (with "Lucille"). That just scratches the surface of the guys...there were also great female vocalists as well, but I have to hobble back to my rocking chair now, and crank up the old victrola to listen to some of these old vinyls.....

Randy's Record Shop out of Cincinnatti, then you must also remember those warm summer nights, listening to WLAC out of Nashville. They always signed off with "In the Still of the Night"
My husband and I have ALL those old 45's (including "Drunk") and he was kind enough to put them on tape (that's how long ago it was - now they're on CDs) for me when I used to travel for a living. Spent many hours on back roads in NC, SC and VA singing along. One year, he bought one of those Time-Life sets and gave me a replacement of the tunes that had been cleaned up and re-recorded. I hated it! Asked for my old ones back. He re-did the 45 recordings and dubbed it "Connie's Scratchy 45s" Those are now on CDs and I still love them. I remember Laverne Baker (Bop Ting-a-ling) and can't believe I didn't remember Ivory Joe Turner. I'll be taking my music to the lake this weekend.....
