Post your top genuine (i.e. no Blazin' Squad, Nickelback, Fred Durst or Atomic Kitten) musical geniuses. Mine, you ask? Sure:
Frank Sinatra:
Not the most powerful of singers, but it didn't matter what he sang it sounded damn good. Oozed cool.
Kurt Cobain:
Master of the pop-punk, quiet-loud, 3-chord melody. Blew his talented brains out, but rumour was that he wanted to do more 'poppy' numbers without the 'punk', so maybe it was for the best.
Stevie Wonder:
This fella *is* music. Give him the crappy Casio Bossa Nova you got for Christmas 1988, and he'll give you a hit in return. Just when you think his songs are about to get all wussy, they change into hardcore funk and hook you further. Blind too, which is even more amazing.
Freddie Mercury:
How such a small man could have had such a powerful voice is beyond me - a true talent, and one of my favourite all time singers.
Mozart:
Whether you realise it or not, you know a Mozart tune. Pretty damn enjoyable stuff, even if it is stuffy old classical music. Check out the film "Amadeus" - it's a hoot, and you get to hear loads of his music.

I understand, he's just never done anything for me at all, i hear him, perfect pitch, tone, mood, speed, he is technically perfect, but it's not about technique it's about heart.

But Sinatra was a genius.
He just was.
It's not exactly what he did, it's how.
And he did it so fan bloody tastically well.

I take issue with Sinatra and presley being mentioned in this thread, they are not genius, they sat in a box and sang, i dont beleive either of them ever created anything in their lives.
Genius is about creation, not being able to sing.
Genius is about creation, not being able to sing.
