    I vote Hendrix over Presely. Elvis was big, but couldn't play a guitar like Jimi. Could anyone? Besides the other Jimy, of course.

    I'm not qualified to vote on the other matchup.

    neither hendrix or elvis belongs in the final four, but if forced to choose, Elvis gets my vote. Hendrix's career was far too truncated to beat the king.

    young vs. dylan- this should have been the final. you can't overestimate dylan's contribution to popular music the last 40 years, but look closer at young and you'll see it's perhaps just as great- he's way underrated as a guitar player, perhaps his song canon isn't as well know is dylan's, but he's worked in more styles, and unlike his erstwhile bandmates in springfield and CSN&Y, he's remained a vital, passionate artist well into late middle age. young gets my vote.
