yeah, what a dumb move. I was reading it the other day when i checked on this thread and laughed at myself, but since no one caught it, figured no point in editing it.

wonder what i was going for that is beyond ultimate?

I've made the same mistake very recently -- when talking with one of my profs, no less.

Just thought I'd help course correct, if only to be a better influence  'pon da yout'.

Second place is ultimately unanswerable in my opinion because while the sheet music of the great composers exists, recordings of them playing it do not and one can only imagine what they, the writers of the music (their personalties cannot wholly be represented by sheet music) would actually have sounded like performing live.

Based off of what I have read about his live ability, I'd go



but how can I really know.

"Even the normally unflappable Goethe was disconcerted by Paganini:
"I lack a base for this column of sunbeams and clouds", he said. "I heard
something simply meteoric and was unable to understand it." Rossini, Donizetti,
Liszt, Auber, Heine, De Musset, Delacroix, George Sand and many other famed
practitioners of the arts attended Paganini's Paris début in 1831,
and were dazzled by him. In London, where he became the darling of the
court and the public, the Times critic, in the midst of describing Paganini's
playing, felt obliged to caution his readers: "You may not believe half
of what I am telling you, and I am not telling you half of what there is
to be told.""

Me. I choose me. Because I am an egomaniac who also happens to be an artist. Honestly though, I choose me because I make art for me, because my arts target audience is me, and when I hear a piece of mine that has been completed, I go, "wow, I really enjoyed that because I feel like I said what needed to be said. I really enjoyed that commentary on ____." I think if you are an artist, you should be the most important artist there is to you. Finding a voice of your own is very difficult, and then, what you do with that voice, once you have it, is journey of its own. If you can't make art for yourself that you feel is relevant to you in some way, than you aren't an artist, you're a technician, or a craftsman.

Honestly. I have lots of influences, and I appreciate lots of other artists work, I will continue to gain more influences and appreciate more artists as my life continues, but once I stop trying to make art I'll enjoy, that'll be the day when someone else becomes more important to me.

The impossible question asked once more...

Best I can do is give you 5, although the next 5 would rate just as high on my list.

In no paticular order.

Miles Davis
Salvador Dali
The trip hop movement in it's entirety
Tom Jenkinson aka Squarepusher
Mike Patton

This leaves out so many that I would put up there, I most definately cannot pick one though.

The question wasn't who's the most personal artist to you, it's who's THE GREATEST artist of all time. When judging on impact on music and not impact on me of coarse I'm gonna say something like Pink Floyd, or The Beatles even though I'm a musician because I haven't even recorded anything yet.

Isn't the greatest artist, the most personal artist? There are so many artists whose impact has been enormous, yet as artists, barely had a grip on the simple technical aspects of their art. The criteria didn't ask who was the mostly widely recognized. I still stand by my assessment.

If it really was a matter of who's the most influential artist of all time, the answer would be bone jarringly objective. Bach, because he invented, and popularized equal temperament, as well as key changes, and pioneering use of harmonies. Or perhaps Shakespeare or Homer, for their deep understanding of composition, and their contributions to modern language and culture.
