If we're saying the most technically accomplished musicians, Meshuggah, without a doubt. Like just listen to them. Best musicians, well that's subjective of course. And plus, that mean a lot of things, not just technicality

I think he meant Camera?

Camel.


Also, Meshuggah shouldn't be overlooked here. Whether it's your cup of tea or not, you have to admit, they're damn near robotic with the stuff they play. Up near the top in this poll for me. 
New album!

Genesis is the greatest group.

The others should have no chance.

Have you people even heard Foxtrot!

I really like IQ's musicianship to choose one of the bands on the list.

I cannot believe that Camel is not on this list.

They would have got my vote.

Producer David Foster brought in Lukather & Paitch to help out on Chicago's '16' album - seriously, one of the better 80's mainstream albums I've heard.  The opening cut off the album is fantastic.
If you really want to hear them sheck out Boz Scaggs Silk Degrees one of the ebst albums of the 70s, and Thriller by Michael Jackson,    Jeff Porcaro plays drums on the Pink Floyd song Mother.
Jeff also played on Roger Waters 'Amused To Death' album - I think he played on the best song, 'It's A Miracle'.  Also David Gilmour's 'About Face' album. 
Oh yeah, the Toto video was cool to see - they are such precise musicians without a doubt, but not too proggy.  Gyorgy Porgy is a great track, but they didn't do 'Hold The Line'. 
Jefferson Starship were way cool around '79-'84. 
Boz Scaggs, eh ??  I don't mind what I've heard of him.
I never did get into M.J. although 'Thriller' is about the best thing he ever did.
this is Jeff, David Paich and David Hungate http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s8l75Oxf1U
