Your favorite one-man band!


On my list

1. Jean Michelle Jare -- Second to no one. 
2. Buckethead -- best one-man guitar band using special effects, loops, pedals and drum buttons on his guitar.
3. Tommy Emanuel -- super good electro acoustic finger style guitar player.
4. Henry Kaiser -- sophisticated guitars with special effects.
5. Bill Nelson -- similar to Henry Kaiser.

Jare had his moments, sure. Emanuel is funny, not familiar with the rest.
Vangelis is an incomparably better composer than musician. Wrote great soundtracks.
I think, whoever the musician might be, one man cannot be a band. I suspect even Paganini who is generally considered the best musician of all times, though not at all the best composer. You need at least two people. The two best duos I heard are Lisa Gerrard/Brendan Perry and John McLaughlin/Paco de Lucia.
