Greatest musical artist of our generation?
    #6624966 -

My roommate just claimed eminem as the holder of this title. I don't really care for his music, but I recognize that he is a talented writer/producer/entertainer, but there are more factors in the equation imo.
Consider the following:
-writing
-singing (not rapping) ability
-dancing ability
-instrumental talent (which slim shady lacks)
-ability to entertain a crowd
-message of the music produced

Your vote(s) please!

Wynton Marsalis
Roy Hargrove
Joshua Redman
Chris Potter

No doubt those are the top four in my mind.

Gnarls Barkley isn't one person.
Nor is System of a down.

I thought the idea was best musical artist would be an individual.

I personally don't think dancing ability has shit to do with musical talent. And I can't pick anyone who would be greatest musical artist of our generation - I'm terrible at that.

The title says "musical artist". What I'm getting at here is musician + artist. Sorry for the confusion but I just wanted the whole package.

Oh and though I'm not sure I'd qualify him as the greatest of our generation, Marilyn Manson has no small skill at putting together one hell of a show. The music, the presentation and above all the lyrics are surprisingly good. For a comparative metaphor, you might consider him Eminem's dark shadow. Totally different approach but a similar level of passion, ability and fearlessness.

Gah one other thing, I think it should be "singing/instrumental talent", all the dudes I named play instruments and don't sing, some might have perfect pitch but they still aren't singers, but if you disagree that they are some of the best (or best in my opinion) musicians in this and any generation you're just crazy.

Do you mean greatest amount of musical talent, or greatest influence on the generation through their music?

Although I don't like him so much anymore, I would suggest Jonathan Davis.
Most of the older korn song were his written, so he can write pretty good, also he has quite unique singing style as well. He can dance also if you can call twisting dancing. Also he knows how to play many instruments, (he's father had musical instrument store when he was little, so he just took an instrument and learned it and so on...) also he knows a lot about electronic music.

One more gripe, I don't really think the message you send through your music really has anything to do with musicianship. I mean, Operation Ivy has some great lyrics in my opinion, but I wouldn't even put them close to being good musicians.
