However, I will say that Dave Grohl would fall under that category. He's a living legend. He was the first show at this new venue in DC (his hometown) and it was the best show I have ever been too. Everlong live decades later was amazing. 

I really admire Grohl.

As a musician it's great to see someone who always has the wheels turning in his head.

He's the master of none(drums maybe)but it works out brilliantly for him.

Someone being a master musician does not necessarily make you great artist.

He has a full understanding of how to construct songs and write lyrics.

Like I said earlier.  He doesn't "wow" me in his singing or guitar playing.  Yet the pieces fit for him.

Outside of his tenacity to stay relevant it is quite refreshing to see him collaborate with other genres.

Lastly...  I have friends and know people who don't like Grohl that claim he's not a legit rocker.

Sadly he's probably one of the few in mainstream music that keeps a pulse for the genre.
