I don't know if I can say any of them is a big musical genius, but out of the bunch, I like Ed Sheeran the most.  His first three albums had a fair amount of songs I liked.

PSY, he came in, had a gigantic hit, the follow-up didn't do as big, and where is he now?

I have never heard of PSY. I've heard the name Ed Sheeran but couldn't tell you a thing about him. Same with Beiber.

Subjectively, I'd say Kevin Moore.

But objectively, PSY is the clear genius on that list.

I’m gonna bite and just say that we’ve had FAR worse pop artists than Ed Sheeran. He’s actually one of the good ones. There’s a few songs my gf and I used to listen to. He’s got a wholesome vibe and really writes some emotional pop songs. Not my genre at all, but from what I’ve heard by him, I definitely respect him compared to all the other garbage that’s out there in the pop world.

If you’re going to include those people, Adele should really be there as well.

I wouldn’t really vote for any of them though.  I’m not sure there is one off the top of my head, maybe Eminem or Jay Z? Alicia Keys? Beyoncé? Not sure anyone could be classed as a genius. Steven Wilson has been a pretty amazing artist but I wouldn’t class him as a genius.

As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

It shows how much I’m turning into my parents that I’m not really sure who that is.  I think it might be Kanye West but, if so, I literally couldn’t name a single song he’s done. That’s in no way a slight on him, I’m just very out of touch with chart music these days.

Steven Wilson is the obvious choice. And interestingly, he'd probably throw a nod in Kanye's direction. When I saw him a few years ago he actually commented that Kanye was really the only person out there actually pushing boundaries.

I don’t think Kanye is a genius, but he’s much better/more talented than some of you guys who haven’t heard a single note of his music think.

I definitely heard more than one note of his music and it wasn't something I'll ever remember fondly.

That’s the beauty of music. One can despise a song while someone else can love it. Neither’s opinion is worth more than the other’s.
