It's interesting that your A-List mirrors the original D&D foursome: cleric, fighter, magic-user, thief.
I suppose it's possible that those are four rather arbitrary roles, and the genre has shaped itself over the decades to keep them at the forefront. But I suspect, instead, that Gygax and friends perceived from the start that those four make up something special.
