Reading the Soundgarden thread there's a mention of highly talented some people seem to be. 

You know the bastards that can sing,Drum,play guitar and write and play about 20 instruments  better than you can

Two very good shouts in the first two posts.

 

Marvin Gaye was a really good drummer and piano player and some of the boys in Gentle Giant would switch instruments & play in all sorts of weird time signatures.

 

Other than that I'm struggling a bit, I don't really bank on the 'jack of all trades' thing.

Starts and ends with Prince for me, though the other name that sprang to mind was Mike Oldfield playing and overdubbing all the instruments on Tubular Bells.

Who negged stevie wonder? The fuck?

 

Curtis Mayfield is another ace multi-instrumentalist + vocalist.

 

Has somebody negged Stevie Wonder?

 

Fucking Hell, whoever it was should be banned from having ears.

 

Ridiculous.

Loads of musicians - like Trent Reznor and McCartney - can play passably well on a number of instruments, but Ben Folds can play piano better than almost any pop musician, and can properly play bass, guitar and drums.  And he's no mean writer and producer.  

 

Ditto, but more so, Stevie Wonder.
