The 'Complete' Musician.

I attended Lilith Fair once in around 1998. I may have been the only guy there
who was not there because he was taking his daughter. ;)

I kind of wonder why they don't do something like that anymore.

I started working with a female lead back in my hard rock band just out of necessity and then my next band I worked exclusively with female lead vocalists for 26 years, influenced by those 3 artists in particular along with many others.

Most of my music collection is either instrumental guitar stuff or female fronted bands... Kind of a weird combo :)

That's awesome! :)

I have honestly encountered more "Divas" in the form of men than the women I have
been fortunate enough to be in bands with. The ladies---without exception--were always more
prepared, professional, and harder-working.

That's not one I was expecting in this thread. I don't disagree at all though.

I'll second a few, you guys have picked some great ones:

David Bowie
Mike Oldfield
Steven Wilson
John Paul Jones
Dave Grohl

And some I haven't seen yet:

Jack White
Jack Bruce
Jerry Cantrell
Joan Jett

I also want to put Jagori Tanna in here, as a guitarist, bassist, and songwriter who's always underrated, and I always want to mention him in threads like this :)
 
I had just been thinking about John Paul Jones and his amazing talents, and lo and behold, smart brains on this board got there before me!

Brian May is also one I would mention first, singing, guitar, piano, songwriting and for me personal the best soli fitting to the songs...
I could not imagine a Queen song with another solo than the existing played (my favored recors are all from 70s).
I would add Tony McAlpine too.
And as already mentioned Mike Oldfield...have most of his records.
