This was AOTY 2015. Sparks and Franz Ferdinand were a match made in heaven.

It helps when you're 10 years older than the competition and have had time to learn the craft.

Nice to see a positive thread about ELP for once.

I'm going to nominate the Bruford-Squire-Anderson-Wakeman-Howe lineup of Yes. As Bruford put it "we saw ourselves as a brains trust". Also, Anderson gets nowhere near enough credit for how much he motivated himself to try and understand music, despite not being a proper instrumentalist.

>Roger Daltrey

>>72762302
Oh come on, his voice is great! Plus he can swing a mic around in a cord better than anyone. Your right that he might not have been the best musician, but he was a fantastic showman, who made their live performances as legendary as they are.

>>72762247

afaik ian didn't write the music only the lyrics and imo barney never matched him in the singing and lyrical department

also their sound was already becoming more electronic on Closer and Love Will Tear Us Apart

Cream obviously

Fucking Ginger Baker's drum solos

The original Pere Ubu lineup was unbeatable.

>>72762594
I know Clapton and Baker are great at their instruments but from a bassist's point of view does Jack Bruce really have "shitloads of talent"?

>>72762775

I think Bruce is rated as a top ten bassist in a few lists, but I guess it depends whether you take those types of lists seriously

Medeski Martin & Wood

>Robert Plant

He isn't a "bad" singer by any means, he fits them well, but he's certainly not on the level of the other 3 (particularly John Paul Jones, who is also a multi instrumentalist)

That's fair but keep in mind how much he was involved in songwriting. It was pretty much him and Jimmy that did most of the songwriting with some contributions here and there from JPJ. Until In Through the Out Door which was mostly Plant and Jones.

This is objective truth.

>>72763223
this so much

>>72762594
one of the great rhythm sections of any rock band

>>72763082

debatable.

Plant is pretty shit singer as already mentioned here >>72763119

JPJ is the most talented, but Led Zeppelin NEVER fully utilized him for some reason and he ended up taking on the role of glue-guy rather than headliner.

Boneham was good at drums, but he literally just played the drums. Not much talent needed there for that one particular instrument.

And of course Page is a fucking god... at songwriting and mixing and engineering his own sounds and tones. He was a fucking sloppy guitarist in terms of technical ability.

All of them are highly overrated
