Why are you bringing this shite into this thread? This could be a great thread but tools like you come in and want to bash on others peoples taste in music.

Ween. A lot of people might refer to them as a rock band, but in my opinion they have a pretty good grasp of all genres. They can do country as well as punk, and they've written some really stellar stuff. They also kick arse live.

I give the nod of my favorite artist to Foo Fighters. They have been making great music since the late 90s. How many bands can actually say they have been making music that long? I get it, they probably aren't on the same level as The Stone, Aerosmith or Metallica, but their longevity is. When you can make an album in 2011 that sells and moves like "Wasting Light", 15 years after making "The Colour and the Shape" (which wasn't even their debut album), that's hard to do.

Today Jamey Johnson is my favorite. Rotates between him, Waylon, and Merle.
JJ spent a while screwed up on drugs and booze after his wife left him and took his daughter with her. Wrote the entire album 'that lonesome song' during that period. Man lived what he sings and is throwing the bird to the modern pop-country movement.
Supposedly he has a dent on the back of his guitar from dropping it on Hank's grave while he was drunk as shite. Can't get more country than that.

Pick a song for me. Never heard of him.

James Taylor. Guy is an amazing songwriter and seems to take tremendous pride in the live performance. He always acknowledges and seems to genuinely appreciate the musicians/vocalists that back him, as evidenced by the fact that a lot of his musicians/vocalists have been with him for years and years.

Easy answer....Dave Grohl. He is an excellant drummer, guitarist, and songwriter.
Nirvana
Foo Fighters
Side projects with Queens of the Stone Age, Probot, and Them Crooked Vultures. Anything else I am forgetting?
He was asked to be Tom Petty's drummer before recording the first Foo Fighters album. I'm glad he turned the job down.
He also has a passion for keeping music pure. He doesn't believe in correcting mistakes with the help of computers and prefers to record analog over digital. He is an audiophile's type of artist always going for the best sound possible in whatever he does.

In the country genre, he's a tough one to beat. The guy is the ultimate unique artist. I was actually jammin out to him earlier while at work. I work with my dad, and they're aren't many artists that transcends generations like Jamey. I can jam Jamey all day and my dad never complains.

Freddie Mercury- front man for the greatest rock band this planet has or will ever see.
Another is frank black when he was with the pixies. I never liked his solo or catholic stuff. His lyrics and music were superb and he and the pixies were the inspiration for a lot of bands that came after including nirvana and almost the entire grunge movement, some of the poppy-er 90's punk bands, etc.
ETA: argument
