    Based on influence on music, acheivements, Quality of material Released,
    standing amoung his\her peers.

    I would suggest Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan and Brian Eno to Start.

    Frank Zappa :confused: I knew he was a genius, but I did n't think it stretched as far as returning from the dead ! :p


    I would suggest BB King, Buddy Guy plus Donald Fagan and Walter Becker of "Steely Dan".

    What about Kraftwerk? I'm not an expert on their music but their achievements and infuence were huge.

    Other than that Bowie, McCartney, Jimmy Page, Chuck Berry and Grandmaster Flash.

    He's not the most important musician to me, that would be Thom Yorke or Mark Knopfler; but he's certainly shaped music.
