How do you qualify best?
I don't think there can be a best, you may have favorites, what reaches to you
That's one of the the things that gets me about musical appreciation, when you try to name the "best" whatever - there is no best, just what moves you and hits your groove so to speak
That other thing that cracks me up is when someone will say so and so musician is terrible and they suck - just because you don't care for their musical stylings doesn't mean they lack talent
You'll find great players in every genre of music
For my personal favorite .... Aerosmith - they're everything a rock band should be - great guitar sound, catchy turn of phrase of lyrics, big drum sound, solid bottom end and they've lived an um ... interesting life
and they opened up the NFL season this year and they are opening the Super Bowl in 10 days

Agree totally about it being personal taste - I'm one who loves Lennon AND Aerosmith and throw a bit of Skynard, Eagles, AC/DC, & Johnny Cash into the mix. (ok, so I'm a 'music mutt' - I admit it lol)
But ya know, NO ONE I've ever heard can belt out a scream (screech?) like Steven Tyler - I will recognize that voice when I'm 90 and damn near deaf - no doubt. And much of what my generation calls 'classic' (whether it's rock or country) is being heard and appreciated by our kids.
I have one kid who thinks Aerosmith & Toby Keith should rule the world, another kid who thinks it should be Britney Spears, Shania & Journey and a third who can't decide if it should be Eminem, Queen or Chicago.
Ok, I'm raising music mutts too lmao
