    No. I think he was a talented musician. Played more than one instrument - guitar, bass and piano all by ear as he couldn’t read music. I think that requires talent so maybe our interpretation of talented is different.

    Now if you meant BRILLIANT guitarist that’d be different, but I wouldn’t count John Bonham in that category😀

    He couldn't play any of them very well wether he read by ear or not

    John Bonham is genuinely accepted to be one of the best drummers of all time

    Jeff Buckley, Minnie Ripperton, Richie Edwards, Janis Joplin, Otis Redding, Tim Buckley, Bob Marley, Sam Cooke, Brian Jones, Keith Moon, Ian Curtis, Robert Johnson.....

    Someone else can do Nick Drake.

    Why is it that so many famous musicians die aged 27?

    Jeff Buckley ah what a talent

    I wonder if the 7 is the root of the term he threw a 7 ?

    By talented then you obviously meant geniuses and not the Britain’s Got Talent type of talent.

    If that was your intention I retract my point on Elvis being a talented musician

    Couple of mentions for Ian Curtis who I don’t think Sludge will allow due to his lack of brilliance with an instrument. Sadly that also discounts Jim Morrison

    Micky Jones and Deke Leonard

    A voice is a musical instrument.
