What a band The Yardbirds were, and what a guitarist was Beck.

No amusement value, he was one of the best guitarists, just in a different way to others, and Marquis Moon is one of the best albums of it's time.

^ There's a fair slide between your "he was one of the best guitarists" to Scott's assertion that "He was the best rock and roll guitarist of all time". The list of candidates includes Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Berry, Eddie van Halen, Duane Allman, Santana, Steve Cropper and Scotty Moore, to name a few.
You know, I like Fripp's playing the best - but I'm not silly enough to say he is the best because it's obviously nonsense. That's why Fripp is at number 62 in Rolling Strone's list and Tom Verlaine is at 90 - wherever they "should" be, neither is anywhere near the top. |

Sorry, p4s, I didn't notice the "the". You're right: silly call by Scott.
"The best" in anything musical, or artistic in general, is nonsensical. Pointless trying to grade the top 100 guitarists (or pianists, or singers, or ...), really. _________________ kill for collingwood! |

Sadly, at 89, this was coming. He was a brilliant saxophonist but was an even more astonishing composer.
Here is "Infant Eyes", one of the most important (and beautiful) compositions of the second half of the 20th Century: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYg_3pQN-LU
Here he is performing Footprints live with Miles Davis, as the part of the second of Miles' legendary quintets (with Wayne's great friend Herbie Hancock): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pxb7pNXJvng
And, a decade later, here he is with his next ground-breaking involvement in a jazz group - Weather Report, live at Montreux: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfvfXA2SIRU
And here he is, in 1959, live with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, on stage with some other legends performing A Night in Tunisia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNZK1reXPBI
And finally, here's his take on Corrina, Corrina with Joni Mitchell (Wayne taking the "bird that whistles" aspect of the lyric to heart): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9jtqEjJ_5E
Such magnificent music. People will still listen to Wayne Shorter long after we are all gone. |

I recently bought the Blue Note, TonePoet release (highly recommended series for any audiophiles out there) of "All Seeing Eye" to complete the trio of his truly magnificent releases that include "Juju" and "See No Evil". Just incredibly good records, each of them.
A true giant of the scene over many years.

I was never a great fan personally, but Barry Humphries deserves a mention at least. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

^^ Often when boredom would set in I'd check out Sir Les on Youtube. I do not look at cheese boards the same anymore. |
