I'm sure mine is rather predictable but I have to go with Jon Oliva He can write just about any kind of song, plays multiple instruments and is influenced by just about every genre of music on earth. And like many geniuses never gets the credit he deserves
Anybody you would call a musical genius?

Gene Hoglan is a great drummer, lyricist and proficient guitarist. He was the mastermind of Dark Angel after the first album.

Charlie Benante. After watching "Chloe/Crown of Thorns" with Mark Osegueda and Mark Menghi, it reminded me how great of a musician he is across the board.

I would pick Steve Harris. Great musician and songwriter/leader.

Thanks pal. I drop in from time to time. Funny, I don't have much to say since I quit drinking.
