Your pick for greatest musician born on this date? (Final day of the poll)


John Coltrane (jazz saxophonist) 1926
Ray Charles 1930
Roy Buchanan (blues guitarist) 1939
Jerry Cole (guitarist for Glen Campbell, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Little Richard, many others) 1939
Tim Rose (singer/songwriter) 1940
Julio Iglesias (pop singer) 1943
Aubrey Powell (co-founder of Hipgnosis, designers of album covers for Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, many others) 1946
Neal Smith (Alice Cooper Group) 1947
Don Grolnick (jazz pianist & session musician for Linda Ronstadt and others) 1947
Dangerous Dan Toler (guitarist for Dickey Betts, Gregg Allman, Allman Bros. Band) 1948
Bruce Springsteen 1949
Danielle Dax (new wave/art-rock singer) 1958
Ani DiFranco (indie rock singer/songwriter) 1970

Todays list is pretty amazing, with at least 3 legit GOAT candidates depending on what kind of music you like (Coltrane is the GOAT of jazz in my book) and several others who are significant in their own way. I forget why exactly I was looking this up a year ago today - might have been Nick Cave's birthday the day before, he's a fave of mine too - but I thought the Lounge needed something like the "Greatest Athlete Born Today" poll somebody ran on the sub board for a while. Anyway, I'm retiring it today so as not to repeat. Hope everybody had fun!
