1. Can never go wrong with Van ...

Allow me to contribute this one, cause it's IMHO an underappreciated classic ... and less overplayed than a lot of other great Van songs.

2. He was an iconic voice for 3 generations

Van Morrison is worthy of a "Mt Rushmore of Vocalists" discussion (BTW, I'm a "NO", but I ain't mad ya brought his name up)

3. I brought who's name up?

5. In the theoretical Mt Rushmore of Vocalists discussion

If you had nominated Van, I would vote against him. I would not however be upset that his candidacy had been advocated for.

7. Vocalist + Songwriter I think I could maybe make a case assuming this is Rock-type music only

But I mean, even then, there's really no getting out of three spots belonging to Dylan, McCartney, and Elvis ... so you really only have 1 left. That leaves one spot to pick between like Elton, Mick, Daltrey, Plant, Van, Lennon, Simon, Marley, Berry, Prince, Bono ... just off the top of my head ...
