Greatest music legend of all time is....

...to me, Michael Jackson... i just can't think of anyone that can compare.... who is, to you, the greatest music legend?

MJ at the 1984 Grammys.

Quorthorn

Bob Dylan

That is all.

Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree

Good choice ^^imaps3fanboy

Maybe not the GREATEST, but this man was definitely a music legend

Beethoven. A relatively rare example of an enormously famous musician who, by virtue of his musical genius and accomplishments alone, actually deserves his fame.

OMG Pianist is still alive :oX360PS3AMD05

You know it. ;)

Robert Johnson for me.

"My Dark, beautiful, twisted fantasy" was an amazing musical achievement. Kanye is a talented **** guy. He's also a big jerk.

Mike Äkerfeld in my opinion. I just love how the guy can mix death metal, black metal, folk, acoustic, goth, prog rock, prog metal etc. into one. Sure sometimes he overdoes evreything, and sometimes some songs are too long, but overall the guy is a genious in my book.

I disagree with Micheal Jackson even though I respect his talent............ I think Kurt Cobain is more of a legend for years.....The impact is strong after he died.....people mourn......get influence and inspire with his music.....however....... when MJ died.... the only people do is celebrate his death by doing "flash-mob" on the street and many other celebrity use his death just to get extra fame for themself. Anyway, at least it's not tupac and notorious b.i.g (a so called legend created by his/their own people and their friends)hippiesanta

if anyone questions kanyes musical genius then this whole forum loses credibility

I'd have to go with Bob Marley. Just solid peaceful music that a lot of the time had some pretty convincing deeper meanings in them. And I'm pretty sure everybody knows the lyrics to at least one of his songs, at least the chorus

Personally I pick Jimi

I'm going to go with the Late Great Frank Sinatra,

That man accomplished so much both inside and outisde of his music career and was beloved by every1 during his life and has one of the most recognisable voices in history,

[QUOTE="kan_yeezy"]so when people say guys like kurt kobain than thats okay but god forbid i say Kanye West, have u even heard any of his albums? yeah i thought so

Haha funny thing, I find Kanye to be an absolutely horrid "musician" and consider him to be the single most overrated "musician" making music today...

Anyways, I agree with whoever posted Jimi Hendrix. The man is an icon and the major foundation of Rock N' Roll both through his music and the insane lifestyle he lived.

The Beatles and Kurt Cobain would also be acceptable answers here.

edit: Kanyes best album is better than Nirvanas best album critically

i hate how this whole forum is so bias towards rock and metal that as soon as someone mentions a hip hop legend than everyone discredits him

[QUOTE="LostProphetFLCL"]

[QUOTE="kan_yeezy"]i like that hes a jerk, its entertaining

[QUOTE="DmadFearmonger"][QUOTE="kan_yeezy"]oh please... youre probably a metal head that hasnt heard a single Kanye West album cover to cover, but has only heard singles like gold digger and stronger. haters gonna hate.

No, it's Fenriz.

Proof.

The only acceptable answer is Freddie Mercury. I've never met someone who didn't love Queen. Well at least someone who wasn't trying to be an EDGY teenager by hating popular things.volchcha

Now that I think about it, you have a point. The only person I know who hates Queen is my father. He's obviously not an EDGY teenager, though. =/

[QUOTE="DmadFearmonger"][QUOTE="kan_yeezy"]no, im sorry, but its obvious that you also havnt listened to a single kanye album, and are just judging the individual the way the bias media portray him and not the music he makes

i dont know, freddie mercury? he was a good singer.

Oh how silly of me, I can't believe I forgot the musical genius Mozart!

I like hip-hop/rap and I'm not a fan of metal at all. I seriously don't think Kanye West should even be considered as a music legend. Probably not even a hip-hop/rap legend. While I'd happily listen to Kanye rather than I dunno Slipknot, Disturbed etc I just don't think he has a place on this list.

I feel we have to look to the past in the spirit of the list. It's a hard one because music has evolved so much due to influences of the past. I think Beethoven was actually a good call. John Lennon, BB King, Hendrix. Any of the "musical greats" of their time could be included.
