I think that he's viewed mainly as a lyricist and his solo works attest to him not being particularly hot with the old instrumentation, frankly.

My vote goes to a lonely Neanderthal named Throg. He sat on a rock at the mouth of his cave in what is now Italy. His rythmic hammering on a hollow log and howling in sync with the beat allowed all to follow him to express themselves musicaly. Throg was the first, thus the Greatest.

I feel it is now richly deserved, after the instant classic/masterpiece that is "My Dick in a Box"
