Who is The Greatet Modern Musician?

Who in your tatse of music is the most talented at what they do? By modern I mean still recording, touring, or writing music within this year. If it is a certain band please name the member that stands out the most. For me its got to be Ben Folds. He is a god on the piano and has an amzing overall understanding of rythym. I will post a link to him. please do the same for your musician.

Who cares what he's like as a person, he makes great music. THere are tons of arrogant musicians, look at the gallagher brothers from Oasis, absolute pricks.

Don't get me wrong, he is a good musician but not the best.

mm maybe Nick Cave, Anton Newcombe, Will Sheff or Thom Yorke.

I like Ben Folds but his new album is weak.

Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age.
