Here's my suggestions for playing (of course at Ice the only "rules" are don't be abusive or political). This has been floating around in my head for along time (see this thread for a little background): viewtopic.php?f=18&t=92076I'd like to limit this to whatever you see as the Ice Rock/Pop era (for me that starts around 1963, but your mileage may vary). My idea is that anyone who wants to play list each instrument you want to comment on (mine will likely be lead guitar, rhythm guitar, acoustic guitar, bass, drums, keys, Male Vocals, Female Vocals & Singer-songwriter; but please do not consider that as a limit) & list your 2 favorite musicians at each "position". For me the choices need to have a combination of technical skill level AND touch me emotionally. As an example I wouldn't pick Bob Dylan (touches me but can't sing) or Mariah Carey (has an incredible voice but imo picks garbage material) as vocalist. It's also ok to change your mind & edit your original choices.

Cool selections so far! I was tempted to add a favorite all around artist, but mine would change every 10 minutes!

I'm gratified that others also see Hendrix' amazing strength & unique style (stolen by Robin Trower) as a rhythm player.

Great idea for a thread...I've been to some music boards where they have entire threads dedicated to each instrument. But here's my take (can you guess how old I am?)
Lead Guitar 1. Slash 2. Ritchie Blackmore 3. Jimmy Page
Rhythm Guitar 1. Tony Iommi 2. Josh Homme
Bass 1. Geezer Butler 2. Lemmy Kilmeister 3. Flea
Drums 1. Neil Peart 2. Dave Grohl
Keyboards 1. Tuomas Holopainen 2. Geddy Lee
Male Vocalist 1. Bruce Dickinson 2. Geoff Tate
Female Vocalist 1. Joan Jett 2. Ann Wilson 3. Simone Simmons
Singer / Songwriter 1. Nick Cave 2. Leonard Cohen
And, since it was Stephen King’s Idea – They’ve got a Helluva Band
Lead Male Vocalist – Ronnie James Dio Lead Female Vocalist – Janis Joplin Lead Guitar – Randy Rhoads Rhythm Guitar – Jimi Hendrix Bass – Cliff Burton Drums – John Bonham Keyboards – Jon Lord
