                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Who do you think are most â€œcompleteâ€ musicians of our time? Who are the true artists with a rock-solid musical foundation? About â€œmusical foundation,â€ there are many things that one could broach- from technical facility to good sense of rhythm to accurate memory, intensity discrimination, to creativity etc. But if you had to boil it all down to the single most important thing, success in music seems to always hinge on one's ability to hear- great sense of pitch more than anything else. Nowadays, we have great ear training programs that allow us to culture our ears at our own pace but in the past, none of that stuff was really available. It amazes me that these artists from the past, who didn't have those kinds of resources available to them, were persistent enough to culture their musical foundation. <br><br>Anyway, who do you think are the artists that have just about everything down? <br><br>The ones that are <br>1. are phenomenal singers. <br>2. are great on their instrument- be it piano, guitar etc. <br>3. write great songs. <br>4. write great lyrics. <br>5. have great stage presence, entertain the stadiums packed with a sea of people with their charisma. <br><br>Right now, off the top of my head, I can think of <br><br>Stevie wonder. <br>Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam. <br>Jon bon jovi <br>Freddie mercury of Queen.   <br>Chris Cornell of soundgarden. <br><br>What do you guys think?]]></content:encoded>
