Jimi Hendrix is probably slightly more widely known than Iron Maiden; even though Iron Maiden had a longer career, Hendrix changed guitar playing forever. That pretty much explains it.
All 3 are extremely famous in the world of rock n' roll, but Bob Dylan was the only one of them who had a long career; also, he sold more albums than Jimi Hendrix or Jim Morrison combined, so Dylan is generally the most famous of the three (competing with Hendrix).
Michael Jackson was the only entertainer in history who had truly global iconic fame.
