Seriously this is my list. Fook the classicals you said greatest musical genuis and as far as classical goes no one can touch Mozart.

1) Mozart
2) Ray Charles
3) Tommy Johnson
4) Beethoven
5) Elvis Presley

Each of these guys started a new type of music. Mozart redefined opera. Beethoven for symphonies. Tommy Johnson sold his soul to the devil at a crossroads in Mississippi and began the genre for what today is modern rock. Ray Charles took Gospel music and made it into modern day blues. And we all no what Elvis did. The combination of country and blues still rocks my Itunes today.

Yes but mozart's versatility sets him aside as the greatest musical genius of all time (Beety stunk it up in opera), someone mentioned J.S Bach and i would rate him as the third behing the two titans. The following is my top 10:

1) Mozart
2) Beethoven
3) J.S Bach
4) Chopin
5) Tchaikovsky
6) Rachmaninoff
7) Verdi
8) Schumann
9) Debussy
10) Haydn

mmh weird i think i forgot someone

Mozart...great, but just doesn't appeal to me as much
beethoven rocks
bach, duh, but Chopin?? come one-good composer, but better than tchaikovsky? Mahler, Dvorak, et all? he wa a goodpiano composer...but besides that?

Well I think I agree with those famous musicians that create great symphonies, what about musical genius in the modern days? I'm sure everybody has their own opinion.

Sure there is. It's hard to put it in its right perspective though. You only have to go back as far as the Beatles to get some really interesting musical ideas. Listen carefully to Penny Lane some day - the key changes are magnificently subtle by any standards.

Then you have the awsome creativity of Pink Floyd.

Totally agree with you... more of a sentimental pick but you caught on mahler definitely belongs there with Bartok in the first tier... Dvorak, Prokofiev, Copland are in a lower tier tbh

and shostakovich I would say..doing prokofiev 7 in orchestra now, and shostakovich 1 is next...

Same goes for Japanese bands

Some of the rock bands include whatever instrument there is to make their masterpiece perfect, incluidng symphonies, chinese orchestra instruments and even theatre music.
