Ryan Ross

Ryan Ross is, to me, the secret architect behind Panic! at the Disco's most distinctive era. As the band's primary songwriter and lead guitarist, he gave those early records their theatrical, wordy, baroque-pop character, and I don't think the group ever sounded quite the same after he left in 2009. I admire that instead of chasing the bigger machine, he formed the Young Veins to follow his own '60s-leaning instincts. That choice tells me he cared more about the music he wanted to make than about staying famous, and I find that kind of artistic stubbornness genuinely likable.
