Who is a better painter: Picasso, Monet or Michelangelo?
Michelangelo, easily - solely his Sekstus Chapel stuff gets more recognition than the works of the other two combined. A constant success for a half millenium. Picasso and Monet are little boys with small tricks compared to the true master.
Who is a better writer: Kant, Dostojevski or Sartre?
Dostojevski, easily - even though as Kant is goddam sharp thinker and philosopher, his stuff is quite horrible in aestheticwise (even though he had his moments in stuff directed to a larger audience, a'ä 'Was Ist Äerklarung´', etc.) Sartre is over-rated both as a philosopher and as a novelist (very one-track-mind in both areas). As a novelist, good ole Fjodor could play circles around both of them (he had his wanna-be-philosopher moments but what a hec - no one is perfect).
Which is better: a jazz drummer or a heavy rock drummer?
A jazz drummer, easily - plays not just better music, but also music that requires much more sense of musicality.
Which is better: a jazz bassist or a heavy rock bassist?
A jazz bassist, easily - the same as above
Who is a better singer: Presley, Carreras or Paul Robinson?
Carreras, easily - those tiny, thin voices of Presley and Robinson are a world apart from the majestic voice of Carreras.
