So only 3, and if I understand the rules correctly, it's not about who we think were most influential, but about personal preference?

Okay, as my vote for Bacharach & David won't count anyway (they are commonly "just" considered as composers/producers), here's my vote:

The Rolling Stones
The Beatles
Aretha Franklin

Sorry Stevie & Marvin, you get my 70s vote.
