... In your opinion, which artists and/or bands are considered 'legendary'. What is your reason? Is because of their millions of fans? multi-platinum albums? killer songs?

[If there is a thread similar to this, then please lock this]

I would say that Jay-Z would be considered 'legendary'. He makes great songs. [Jay-Z fan]

Plus, he is a sucessful bussinessman. He also has some Grammy Awards under his belts.

I would also state that such bands as Guns N' Roses, Ac/Dc, The Offsprings, DragonForce (Yes, DragonForce), Metallica, Nirvana, and Queen are pretty much amazin'.

Hm, I really consider Bob Dylan as the greatest musician ever, that guy really changed the pop music.

But my favorite all-time artist is Elliott Smith, and he's my hero. His music was really different from the music in that time. It was almost the opposide of the grunge music that was popular that time. His songs are sad, happy and só beautiful. Say Yes is the most beautiful and touching song I've ever heard. If you don't know this guy you really need to check him out sometime. Elliott really was a god.

But also artists like Neil Young, Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd are legendary.

i have a good lists of artists

John Lennon: he wrote so many great songs, that just have inspired me and i dont feel like my view on music would be the same without him

Kurt Cobain: he was just great, his lyrics are great, and he was an amazing guitar player and musician period

Jimi Hendrix: He changed the way i see guitarists, i dont think anyone will ever be as great as he was

theres more such as; Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Morello, George Harrison, Eddie Vedder, Dave Groehl, much more

Bands:
The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Metallica, All the Bands in the Christian Metalcore Scene, Pink Floyd, and again much much more

Let's see here....legendary.

Jimi Hendrix
- for obvious reasons.

50 Cent, Jay-Z, P Diddy- Businessmen/ album sales/ etc.

Eddie Van Halen- Hendrix of the 80's

Randy Rhoads
- Him and EVH were the first ones to be classically trained and applied it to guitar. Everyone else hopped on the bandwagon.

Joe Satriani / Steve Vai
-Incredible instrumentalists

Black Sabbath- Influenced all metal.

Ramones- Influenced ALL Punk

KISS
- Arguably One of the Greatest rock bands ever.

Ozzy Osbourne- Knows how to pick good players for his band, too bad he can't sing.

=[

There's more.....but....ya.

Madness, hands down. They're really successful musicians, and pretty much shoved 2-Tone into the mainstream along with Bad Manners and The Specials.

Dropkick Murphys/The Business too, for working hard for years in their respective genres.

Millions of fans and multi-platinum albums doesn't necessarily mean you should be considered legendary. Take a lot of singers who are currently worshipped by a bunch of teenagers these days. Most of them don't write a lot of their own songs; they don't play an instruments; they're given everything and they're told to sing what their managers want them to sing. They might have good voices, yes, and they might appear on their album covers, but do they deserve to be crowned legends of the musical world? No. You want some people who deserve something like that? The Beatles. Neil Young. Bob Dylan. People who composed their own music; who wrote awesome lyrics and melodies because they had the talent. Those are the people who made awesome music a lot of teenagers these days don't appreciate, and that's a real shame. It really is.

Of course, that's just my definition of legendary. I'm pretty sure my definition is different to all of yours, so don't bother calling me out on this post.

METALLICA IS THE GREAST BAND THE EVER LIVED AND ALLWAYS WILL SAME AS SYSTEM OF A DOWN
I forgot that if you write in size seven font in all caps people will be more inclined to agree with you. Genius!
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

Led Zeppelin
The Ramones
Aerosmith (how can you forget them?)

I don't believe bands like Metallica can be counted as legends, mainly because they were influenced a lot by other bands such as Aerosmith.
You have to look back decades to find bands that really influenced music today, without blues bands there wouldn't be rock music as we know it.

NIRVANA AND LED ZEPPELIN ARE THE BEST BANDS EVER AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!
erm no lol. too rocker and emoish for me. don't like it.

if anyone dares say alexandra burke is legendary then I hope you trip out on your way to the door. :D

diana vickers (x factor runner up - x factor being a uk talent show that leona lewis won) is beautiful and makes music the best thing in the world. her voice is amazing, she looks amazing and has her own style. stun-ning. all you americans will be hearing from her soon listen out for her. :D

but at this time, I'd say the kings of leon because they're a really good boy band that has a great style of singing, performing and strom the charts with it. any wonder?

lady gaga is also good as she is turning really catchy with her type of music that everybody loves.

edit: wow how come so many 'legendary' bands and artists are rock? I hate rock.

Well, legendary artists/bands...
-Led Zepplin
-The Beatles
-Jimi Hendrix
-Van Halen
-Nirvana (no matter how emoish you may think it is, Just Like Teen Spirit alone gives them this title)
-STYX (Cooooome Sail away with MEEEEEEEEEEEE)
-Weird Al (Not like I obsess over the guy but he is a genius)
-Pink Floyd

And another band that I think deserves more credit is the Gorrilaz, but I wouldn't really call them "legendary".

..X-factor finalists are just no.

Anyway:

Sonic Youth - Revolutionary..Everything they do from album 1-16 is just magical.
The Strokes - Came in a time when music was filled with boy bands and bubblegum pop..They completely saved music.


I'll think of more that people haven't already mentioned later.
