    Everyone else falls short in at least one other category for me.

    Remember, you have as many (or as few) choices as you want. It's not about choosing 3 people - it's about choosing people who are "The 3" per the rules of the game....

    I haven't voted yet, but my instinct tells me that only Marvin Gaye and McCartney (I'm not a fan but I have to admit it) qualify completely. Mayfield was another thought, but I don't think he's at the top of the class instrumentally.

    That's what I was thinking, too. I came back to this poll to take a look and all of these Macca fans have come out in droves. I'm a Macca fan, also; but damn, he really doesn't meet the 3rd criteria since the guy's voice is shot.

    Elton? Didn't Bernie Taupin write most of his hits?

    I couldn't vote for Jimi because IMO his voice/singing is not world class. His song writing and guitar playing are as good as any of the others, IMO.
