Talented Musicians

Some musicians that have more talent than may meet the eye (or the ear). Independent of whether you like the bands they are associated with, it's hard to deny these guys have talent. Correct me if any of this is wrong. I'm only posting the people I've learned about recently so I'm not intentionally neglecting anyone. Feel free to mention anyone else you think deserves attention in the comments
1Ayreon
The Source


Arjen Lucassen not only creates all of the songs and arrangements in Ayreon but also plays like 6 instruments and sings in the albums.
2Steven Wilson
The Raven That Refused to Sing (And Other Stories)


Steven Wilson is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, audio engineer, and a producer. He even produced Blackwater Park for Opeth. Has a solo-career and was the frontman for Porcupine Tree until they split up to pursue their personal projects (although they may still come together for another studio album).
3Jon Gomm
Don't Panic


Jon has a guitar playstyle like Andy McKee or Antoine Dufour, but he sings as well amidst all of this. Check out his video for Passionflower: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY7GnAq6Znw
4Periphery
Juggernaut: Alpha/Omega


Adam "Nolly" Getgood is the current bassist for Periphery, but what some people don't know is that he used to be the guitarist for British prog band Red Seas Fire and is actually as good of a guitarist if not better than his co-musicians Misha, Mark, and Jake. He is also a sound engineer and is very involved in the production of Periphery albums.
5Radiohead
OKNOTOK 1997-2017


May be an obvious one, but Thom Yorke is also a multi-instrumentalist and singer. He actually knows how to play piano but doesn't read sheet music. Creates most of the material for Radiohead and sings while playing pretty much any instrument even drums.
