I'm a big fan of britney spears.

Not at all! Hall and Oates did some great work in the 70s.

Having listened to the radio a lot as a toddler, I have great memories of Hall & Oates. I don't care what anybody says, "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)" is a ridiculously awesome song.
As for Rush, Geddy Lee is a pretty good bassist, I'll give him that, but his voice grates on my nerves. "Tom Sawyer" is still a pretty okay song.
Can't abide by Tool, though. I like Maynard's voice and all, but their "hardcore" fans are the worst idiots you will ever meet, aside from maybe Skinny Puppy fans. And the last 2 records have been utter shit.

Do you mean he's the best bassist AND vocalist? Or the best person to do both at once?
Singing and playing bass IS way harder than singing and playing guitar, I'll grant you that. But I find his vocals and bass tone incredibly grating.
I feel bad bagging on Rush because from everything I've read they're all really nice guys (with the possible exception of Neal Peart, but then again I hate anybody who takes Ayn Rand seriously). But yeah, I really do not enjoy their music.

Why is it more difficult to do vocals and bass than guitar and bass? I am not being facetious, I really do want to know why, I would think it is easier, but then again, I have a guitarist's natural bias against bass.
Out of the choices listed, I am going to have to go with The Beatles.
jeph:
For me, it was very difficult to try and do melody over root notes or fills that often had completely different rhythms and/or syncopations. For some reason playing guitar and singing was just a lot easier for me, back when I tried to sing.
