--Pete Wentz (bass/lyrics) of Fall Out Boy is about as narcissistic-ENTP as it gets. You guys can laugh at me for it but I'm actually a fan of this band, and every lyric (plus the ridiculously over the top, almost self-mocking song title puns!) is dripping with double-meanings and sardonic venom. ("Make us poster boys for your scene, but we are not making an acceptance speech / I found the safest place to keep all our old mistakes / Every dotcom's refreshing for a journal update." "So hum hallelujah, just off the key of reason / I thought I loved you, it was just how you looked in the light / A teenage vow in a parking lot / Till tonight do us part / I sing the blues and you swallow them too.") and so on and so forth. He openly tells us repeatedly in the lyrics to his records that he is conning us for millions of dollars in record/ticket/merch sales, but the masses are "so stupid" that they keep buying it anyway--I can hardly think of something more attractive to the self-brilliance-obsessed ENTP.
No, they are both solidly NF. I've seen them live a whole bunch of times and actually met both of them at least once after shows; Linnell is INFJ and Flansburgh is ENFP (Flans tends to come out and talk to fans more often, as well as being responsible for most of their stage banter.)
Linnell's lyrics are also more INFJ in nature--introspective, replete with irony, deadpan humor, allusions to other works and even self-mocking at times, Linnell's songs are the ones that usually try to offer a serious commentary about the way we all work together in this big crazy world, and the tragic implications of emotional disconnection--though still with an obvious respect for the power of love. (One of my favorites is "They'll Need a Crane!" Check it out.)
Music tends to attract more F's than T's, so that means finding profession NT musicians is going to be fairly difficult.
Neil Peart is almost certainly an INTP. He doesn't like being famous, and his songs are often philosophical as well as critical of religion, spirituality, and collectivism. In other words, he's reserved, skeptical, individualistic, and speculative.Neil Peart gives me an awfully INFP vibe, but I haven't read/watched his personality all that much, so maybe not.
It should also be noted that it's not the same being a musician that being successful in the world of music, maybe NTs just lack the discipline and patience required, or even the faith in their own project (faith being some kind of distant dream/happiness/objective/goal, though that'll be diferent for Ps or Js).
Maybe NTs keep the music for themselves xD.

Every NT musician I've ever known writes and usually keeps their music for themselves. It only makes sense to do it that way as an NT. There's no point in compromising it for an audience because then you won't enjoy it. Music in its most raw pure form isn't watered down and compromised and that's why most professional NT musicians are the most authentic, innovating, and original. I don't think being successful in the world of music carries any weight with an NT, as long as they know they're doing something right.
Sounds about right. The few songs Geddy has written lyrics for seem to be introspective and emotion based, i.e. "Tears," and he seems to have a really dry sense of humor shared by many IN's.Fair enough. I'd say Geddy is definitely INFP, though, and Alex Lifeson comes across as rather ESTP, in the few interviews I've read.
What do you think?

As for Alex Lifeson, the lyrics he's written are more about learning from your experiences, etc. and aren't very emotion based. He also has varied interests including motorcycle riding and flying planes. So he seems pretty ESTP.
Nas is an INTP
and
Jay-Z a xNTJ.
