Not band but one single person.

And by important I don't mean your favorite, I mean the guy that future generations will look back on and idolize.

and when I say "our generation" I mean musicians who range from the early to mid 20s to thier early to mid 30s.

and post examples of their work if you can.

Maybe we can make this a nomination thread for a future tourney if I get enough participation.

My vote is Jack White

Dead Leaves and The Dirty Ground

Kanye could be a legit answer. As much as it sucks, Lil Wayne is probably the answer.

There are two that come to mind, both popular, and both extremely talented. They are carrying on the music of the older generations with their own flare, and got people such as myself to listen to what they listened to. I'm a big fan of both, and I think there music will live on for a long time. The two I am referring to are Jack White and John Mayer ( and I don't care who gives me shite for it. If you don't think he's talented you're either a moron, hater, or have never heard anything outside of his radio songs )

GREAT TOPIC KING!!!!!


BUT it depends on the generation.......



But I will say Chuck Berry. What he was able to do with the guitar in the 50's inspired a SHITLOAD of people. Just my take.
