Okay Ye and Eminen are in the title, so I'll omit them, like the list did. Looks like Paul Simon made the list. That's good. Same with Stevie Wonder.
But really, I mean, no Michael MacDonald, Bob Seger, Kenny Loggins, Phil Bailey, Dave Mustaine, James Hetfield or Lars Ulrich, or even Jimmy Pop?
That's just off the cuff.
If I had to think some more, I know I could come up with more than this.
Herfeild and Ulrich were doing some crazy shit in their younger years. I've only just gotten into Master of Puppets, but holy shit were those dudes ahead of their time, and at such a young age.
