Most sophisticated and intelligent musician


Let's stay with not classical musicians.
It's John McLaughlin for me.

This is silly but ...
1. Leonard Cohen
2. Bob Dylan
3. Jon Anderson
4. Joni Mitchel
5. Laurie Anderson

My vote is a DEFINATE NO on Kurt Cobain on the intelligence
measure.
@Sit: Yes, this is a bit silly. It's difficult to have an opinion about someone's "intelligence" based on their artistic expression.

I agree that Leonard Cohen is a bright man. Very well spoken and thoughtful. I add him to my list. :)

I have issue with Curt Cobain, too. It's important to remember that he left family, fans, wife and child with his burden. A true intelligent and caring person would have been more thoughtful of himself and the people around him. Suicide is never a smart move, no matter who it is, and what they accomplish. :(
