Who was the THIRD greatest?

I'll break up the monotony of some of the other recent polls. I think this question is much more useful than who was the 'greatest' - a person might actually think their own ideas here.

I'll start - Brahms. (of course, the three 'B's...)
"Never look at the trombones, it only encourages them."
