I've heard Illmatic dozens of times. Truly a Classic.
But I would consider Nas more of an 'Artist' than a 'Musician'. Ya feel me?

I am not familiar with the Isley Brothers.
Can you recommend me their best album?

Add Tony MacAlpine in there. He's done a lot for rock guitar over the past 25 years, and being both a sick guitarist and keyboardist he totally fits the description of the word 'musician'...
Greg Howe, too - he's done some amazing **** since '88, and every serious guitar fan respects him a great deal...
Both incredible, brilliant musicians.Last edited by PittyPat; 08-05-2010, 06:55 AM.

Tony McAlpine and Greg Howe are forgotten guitar gods but both are up there with the greats!
May I include these on the list for TS:
Robert Johnson (The grand daddy of RocknRoll/Blues)
Muddy Waters
Albert King
Louis Armstrong
RL Burnside
Jimmy Nolen (guitarist to James Brown)
Sly Stone
Many more to mention.
