Philip K Dick was right. Asimov may be right at some point in the future, but he's not right now. Heinlen had a bit of a crazy streak - he's mostly right, but when he's wrong, he's dead wrong.
Philip K Dick, though, was right about so many aspects of modern culture - the changing perception towards rights, humanity, drugs, and classes. The massive shift from nationalism to corporatism (which we're continuing to see become more like Paycheck), and the alarming trend of humanity being more driven by a handful of people than any flavor of democracy.
Moorcock is a good writer, but he is definitely much more of a Robert Jordan or RA Salvatore than a Tolkien or Asimov.
