My vote is for Paul McCartney. First off, he's a phenomenal bassist and guitarist (listen to the bass on I Want You (She's So Heavy) and the guitar solo on Taxman, as well as the acoustic guitar on Blackbird). I'm not sure how good of a drummer he is, but still, he can drum. He's got one of the most versatile voices in the history of music (He recorded Long Tall Sally, I'm Down, and Yesterday) on the same day, and he recorded Yesterday last!

Also, he's arguably as good as mozart with melodies
McCartney couldn't hold a light to Jamerson as far as bass playing goes.
Not even close with No. 1's either.

If we're including classical music then Mozart wins hands down.
If we're not, then Earl Van Dyke tops the lot.

EDIT: If gay gets the green light in the swear filter...so should ****.
It's sexist not to, sort of.
