it's hard to say, considering some musicians were brilliant song-writers, some were brilliant at playing instruments and some were brilliant singers/performers. I'd say Thom Yorke, Michael Jackson, Prince and James Mercer are all right up there, for me.
Define 'musician'. Does it have to be someone who plays an instrument? Or are you saying most talented artist?
gotta agree with you there, with norah jones as a side note just because her voice is like heaven Hard to decide on what my generation is though. I'm 20, so i'd like to think my "generation" is still going on, so both of those are probably a little early for me
