Most Interesting Musicians?

I consider vocalists musicians, by the way.

You don't even have to like what they do, or the band they are in.. Maybe you like them for who they are, interviews, sense of humor, personality, etc..

-Jim Morrison
-John Lennon
-Roger Waters

I only like some of his instrumental music, but I loved his interviews. I like individuals who speak their minds.

and very funny... His voice influenced many, and the world needs him, and still looks to him for inspiration.

I recommend everyone to watch the great documentary, "The US vs. John Lennon"

I was checking out some documentary, and he told everyone what to play on "Pet Sounds' - quite a lot of amazing things he had in his head.
