Roger Waters plays the bass and guitar.

I think everyone who isn't all about sucking prog/classic rocks cock can decide whos more talented for themselves.

And he sucks horribly at every one. At least Waters' bass playing is decent.

Talent is also about songwriting, lest you forget.

So, whats better? Writing for one of the most powerful and progressive bands of all time or a guy who dresses like a homosexual Howdy Doody and writes crappy pop songs that sound like Depeche Mode with Bluegrass instruments.

Besides. If being a multi-instrumentalist makes you more talented. You should know that I play bass, keyboard, banjo, guitar (including slide guitar), harmonica and lap harp. And more recently I've been learning to play drums and recorder.

Coner Oberst only plays guitar and keyboards. Hmm.

It DOES make you talented, especially if you're good at each, which he is.

He plays drums and bass too, and Conor Oberst is a fairly average piano player, below average he can play the few songs hes written (When the Curious Girl etc) but as revealed by the Saddle Creek video not very well (he messes up the intro several times). I don't know why you brought him into this, I don't think much of him as a musician, theres better acoustic guitar players (John Fahey, Phil Ochs, Elliott Smith, Nick Drake) but hes a hell of a songwriter.

Patrick Wolf twee pop what? Please explain that one to me. Bluegrass? His folk stuff shares more in common with Vashti Bunyan too. I wish you'd get rid of your indie-biased when trying to argue, Patrick Wolf is an extremely creative and talented artist. Though if he was on a major label or came out 30 year agos you'd probably agree.
