yorks5stringer Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 it's a bit worrying that they have to tell us who some of the players worked with, e.g Paul McCartney (Beatles) whereas Scott Lafaro who worked with Bill Evans has no such addition. Does that means a lot of the Jazz players will be ignored by the voting readers or are they well known enough by the poll readers not to need the extra info? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barking Spiders Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) if we take the meaning of 'ultimate' to mean last or final then good-oh! Edited July 21, 2021 by Barking Spiders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveXFR Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Bit of a stinky poo survey. You can't skip the questions you don't have an opinion on. How many people will choose one at random because they're not interested in best jazz fusion player and want to get on to the next question. I just answered Geezer Butler for every category Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Oh how I hate these sort of 'best ever' polls. Music is a way of life, not a f**king competition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like sticking Playboy centrefolds or slightly risque posters of Brigitte Bardot/Farrah Fawcett/Pamela Anderson/current babe of the day on your bedroom walls, putting up 'best evah guitarist/luteist etc' polls/lists is something one maybe should've stopped doing around aged 15? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
