I went for the good feel players not necessarily the out and out technicians here (although the 3 I chose have great technique too) and I could only choose 3 I guess Mickey spans both camps though so that was a tough call.

I can't judge best. Since everyone in contention is so beyond my level. All I can do is pick favorites. I pick songwriting since 1950. I choose Paul Simon, Curt Cobain and whoever the *&^% wrote all those Led Zeppelin songs. Sorry Beatles, I love you, but you are number 4.

1. Banannarama
2. Ashlee Simpson
3. Britney Spears

Although Ashlee was caught red-handed I still put her at #2 since it was a technical error
