Only five is difficult.

6) George Martin for is arranging ability to take very good but vanilla Beatles songs and make artwork out of them

7) Sergei Prokofiev for his contemporary symphonic composition

8) Lalo Schifrin for his contemporary jazz band arranging

9) Danny Elfman for movie scoring

10) Bernard Purdie for his ability to make fantastic, driving drum grooves, most often without calling attention to the drums

I could go on.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
