Musician: Bob Dylan, with out a doubt.

Band: Beirut, I think. It does generally change quite a bit.

Dylan because his lyrics are poetry, his tunes are simple but immensely hard hitting plus he's inspired so many artists now that spawned new genres. He is a genius.

Beirut is pretty damn talented too, especially Zach Condon. Their tunes send a shiver down my spine :) www.beirutband.com

Favorite Musician: Jimi Hendrix I guess because he was always looking for a new sound so his music never really got boring. The fact that he taught himself how to play the guitar BACKWARDS is simply astounding. He revolutionized the whole concept of guitar playing.

Favorite Band: It narrows down to Bring Me The Horizon and The Devil Wears Prada. Bring Me The Horizon because they riffs are sick Oli's scream is siccccc especially when he does those really intense high screams, they blow you away and it's love at first riff haha.

The Devil Wears Prada because every song starts out with an insanely good riff, not too complicated, yet not too easy. The singing and screaming are simply amazing beyond comparison to many other bands out there. They also don't overdo it with the pig squeals. You hear them every once in a while and when you do hear them they're lows so it can hardly be percieved as a pig squeal [unless live]. One of the main reasons I love them is because they're a band with a purpose. Yep, that's right, Christian Metal. Don't go making judgments it's not all "JESUS RULES" it's clouded in biblical metaphores and such. It's really brilliant.

Musician: Kurt Cobain

Band: Red Hot Chili Peppers

My favorite musician is either David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, who I think is one of the most superior guitar players ever (and has a pretty great voice as well), or Roger Taylor of Queen, a fantastic and energetic drummer with a somewhat unique voice.

My favorite band is Queen, because of the fact that their vocalist, guitarist, and drummer, are brilliant, and their bass guitarist is pretty good as well.

Pink Floyd is a close second because they're real mood setters.

Musician: Anthony Kiedis

he has a really unique voice and his lyricism skills are all but unheard of in anyone else. he may be the most talented (and hot) man in the world.

Band: The Offspring

they are too great. the Smash album of 1994 is phenomenal. it outshines any song listen too afterwards. i can sing along and smile with the songs. it's amazing.

Rush- They are probablyly one of the most talented bands of all time. The guitarist is amazingly talented and so is the drummer, Neil Pert.

But, My favoritmusicianin has to be Mark Hoppus, because the way he plays the bass inspired many people that I know. His voice is very unique and he so down to earth and level headed.

Musician: John Frusciante. The man can make magic with a guitar in his hands. It's mesmerizing.

Band: Red Hot Chili Peppers. They are *incredibly* versatile. Listen to anyone of their albums and you can see it's completely different from the next.

My favorite musician is Jimi Hendrix. He was an amazing, creative guitarist and a great song writer. Even though he isn't the best vocalist I still really enjoy his vocals too. No one else can talk-sing like him.

Musician: Bob Marley

Band: Rage Against The Machine

Bob was so talented and peaceful. He singlehandedly created a genre of music, reggae. Redemption Song is my favorite of his.

Rage is perfect in every way. Chemistry, talent, passion and anger. I love it. Zach's lyrics are real, true and flow with ease.

Musician: Vanessa Carlton, I love her voice and her songs are always good. I also love the lyrics and her songs always have messages to them.

Band: Breaking Benjamin. Ben Burnley's voice is very good and he always has an intensity to me. He doesn't lose it in the music videos, and they're not so bad live.
