Blues music fans: who's your favorite 'King' (Albert, BB, Freddie) and why?

[Jaxcat]

All three are iconic. All three have a distinctive playing style. All three have distinctive voices. Who's your favorite? Notice I said 'favorite' not 'best'. Tired of music threads where posters state their opinion and follow up with 'it's not even close'. There are no wrong answers on this question, just curious as I listen to all 3 in regular rotation. Lot of great guitar playing ideas these 3 pioneered/made popular and they've influenced 1000s of guitarists.

[Majoga]

Well that's nearly an impossible choice. I reckon I'll go with Albert because I got to see him and Stevie Ray Vaughan together.

[Pete Hogwallop]

Elvis.

Well that's nearly an impossible choice. I reckon I'll go with Albert because I got to see him and Stevie Ray Vaughan together.

Their "In Session" performance is one of the best things I've heard from any genre.

[Matt Dillon]

It's B.B. for me because I'm more of a fan of songs than the people who sing them and, from the songs of the three, B.B.'s "The Thrill Is Gone" is my favorite song.

Stevie definitely preferred Albert. His playing style and bending technique was inspired by Albert, obviously.
