I think Miles Davis is my favorite artist. The artists he nutured (Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams) are giants in their own right. He re-invented himself and his music constantly, rather than making the same album over and over again and is a musical reference point to this day for musicians in numerous and disparate genres.

The Rolling Stones collectively and Keith Richards singularly. The songwriting, the sounds, the attitude, the musicianship, the honesty...
7/10. Can't go wrong with the Stones, but their music is a little too accessible for my tastes.
As for me, Opeth. Epic, grandiose songs with brutally heavy sections and beautifully melodic segments. Each song leaves the listener on the edge of his seat, completely ignorant of what will happen next, basking in the breathtaking melodies and the sheer, unrelenting assault.

Good call. I've never understood how Nirvana became the face of early '90s rock while Pavement remained relatively obscure. The fact that Kurt Cobain is regarded as a musical genius while the name Stephen Malkmus is met with a resounding "who?" is tough to understand.
I'd go with Vampire Weekend. I really liked their first two albums, but their new release is on another level.
You like Vampire Weekend.
Your argument is invalid.
Joao Gilberto. He is one of the most talented guitarist of all time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLDw2Z4TpVk
Eminem!
Benjamin Gibbard. Everything he touches is gold.

You forgot to include your own favorite. This must have been an oversight, as only a complete douche bag would criticize someone else's preferences without stating their own.

older I get the more I like RM - not sure if that is a positive on me, the music or the opposite.
Virginia Plain is one the wackiest, weirdest and most brilliant songs ever written. It's like they threw every bit of show business razmattaz and hook they could think of. They went all in , and every second is brilliant.

Gene Vincent Van Gogh
I have an ear for music
Mike Patton - The dude is a genius. Mr. Bungle, Dillinger Escape Plan, Tomahawk, Fantomas, Faith No More and his solo stuff. He is gold.
The Melvins
