There are so many.
Focusing on musicians who are active today, Virgil Donati and Tosin Abasi are true musical geniuses.

I talk about real geniuses not necessary about my most personal fav music
2023-06-09 08:10
Depends on what you consider genius. For me a genius is an innovator which creates something ahead of his time, so I would say Beethoven, Queen and... Deee-Lite. Of course it would be laughable to even compare Deee-Lite to Beethoven, but their music was far ahead of their time and still great today

Dorian Electra, literally made a song called Musical Genius
2023-06-09 17:54
Hard to list individuals, I usually listen to bands and half the time have no clue who is in those bands to begin with hah - anyways:
John Petrucci (one of the main reasons why I descended down the metal rabbithole years ago in the first place)
Mikael Stanne (when it comes to vocalists, almost no dropoff in quality live compared to studio recordings, some people count vocalists as musical genuises as well so I'll drop him here)
(honorable mentions: whoever is responsible for Time I by Wintersun and Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk by Emperor)
2023-06-09 18:07
Frank Zappa - Need I say anything?
Tool - Need I say anything?
Buckethead - One of the worlds best guitar/bass players. 260+ hours of his own music, and a bit on the side (played in Guns and Roses amongst others.)
Slightly Stoopid - Good musicians for a (mostly) reggae band, awesome positive happy vibes, not sad like Bob Marley.
Malk De Koijn - Danish "comedy" hip hop band, mostly active about 20 years ago. Silly & clever lyrics, a lot smarter than I initially had the impression of.
2023-06-09 18:20
