LEAD BELLY
1. Bob Marley - The prophet of the 3rd world. The bringer of hope and inspiration for many, even today, many years after his death.
2. Bob Dylan - The voice of a generation, with a scary ability to convert words into visual imagery.
3. John Lennon - What more is there to be said about the man thats not been said already.
4. Anyone from Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones -
5. Ry Cooder - The Alan Lomax of the modern world. The amount of world music he has cataloged and shared with the world is staggering. And a true blues man at heart.
6. Frank Sinatra - Frankie said `I did it my way` and he wasnt lying.
7. Leadbelly - One of the least known dudes on the list, mostly made his music in the 20`s and 30`s, pioneered the blues scene back then. Lived in a time when racial segregation was massive. Im sure he`d have some interesting stories to tell.
8. Eddie Vedder - In today`s times of pop and bullshit well packaged/marketed musicians he brings so much soul, feel and REALITY to his music, its truly a blessing to music lovers from around the world.
9. Bunny Wailer & Lee Scratch Perry - Ive put these guys together because they pretty much pioneered reggae back in the 60`s and spearheaded its journey in much part to where it is today. Restepka boys! Big up to you guys.
10. RajaRam - I had to add atleast one electronic musician to the list. From psy trance to psy bient to psychedelic mantra chants from the Quintessence days, hes created a large impact on trippy music lovers across the world. Definitely an interesting guy worth meeting.
