This is me! It's storming outside at 5:00 In the morning and I have nothing else better to do than write about ********. This Is my first blog and god dammit you guys better respond! So, This topic I will write about, I've seen many Blogs with the exact title. "Musical Geniuses", is this forespoken topic. Now, Every Blog I have seen with this topic has written about musicians that everyone in the ******' world has heard of. (Ex.) Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and so on. Now don't get me wrong everyone on this list is a musical genius and deserves every bit of respect that they receive. However my concern is the musical geniuses behind the scenes that had the same effect on classic rock music. These musicians aren't acknowledge and deserve the same ammount of respect as the before mentioned musicians. So here is my list of top five most underrated musical geniuses of all-time!
5.) Dave Mason (Traffic) - Guitar/Vocal, Shadowed by front man Steve Winwood, There was not one thing Mason couldn't do,Great Musician lost with the time.
4.) Ray Manzareck (The Doors) - Keyboard/Bass, Shadowed by the great Jim Morrison, The founder of The Doors, Wrote Most of The Doors hits.
3.) Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) - Guitar, Shadowed by front man Ozzy Osbourne, Invented the heavy metal guitar sound, The brains behind Black sabbath.
2.) John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) - Bass/Keyboard, Shadowed by Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, Heart and soul of the band, Created the musical mind journey, The "Puzzle Piece" of Led Zeppelin.
1.) Syd Barrett (Pink Floyd) - Guitar/Vocal, Shadowed by modern Pink Floyd, Founder of Pink Floyd, Although only with the group for a short period of time Barrett founded the 60's psychodelic sound, Lyrical Genius, Known As the forgotten Legacy, Founded the name "The Pink Floyd Sound".
* Discussion is always great! This is my opinion, although well thought- out, This could be wrong, (not likely), but I would love for you to publish your opinion on top five most underrated musicians of all-time. please include description and challenge me if I'm wrong!
