So who's your 1-2-3-4-5?
Of all time? Not just your faves.

I meant to tell you something. I think you and your wife make a nice looking older couple. Um...lets see. Some of my favorites I consider as some of the all time greats so it would be extremely hard for me not to include at least some of them in a Top 5. There are a ton of artists that I consider some of the greatest of all time but I will just name five of them since you asked for five. In no particular order: Michael Jackson Freddie Mercury/Queen Aretha Franklin The Carpenters The Rolling Stones |

Janet Jackson in my eyes isn't iconic, MJ is but she falls short. You pointed out some of her iconic performances and those i agree are iconic but she herself isn't an icon imo, in this case i would call her a legend. If im honest with you, i prefer Janet's music over Ozzy and Prince but as much as i like her i dont think she reaches Icon status like them.

You are right. However, Janet is an Icon in her own lane but no she is not as Iconic as Michael or Ozzy but to say she is not an Icon is absurd when she has Iconic albums and moments in pop culture. How do you distinguish between Icon and Legend? |

I think that being an icon is where you get to the point of being a household name and retaining that even after your prime. To be a legend, well I don't really use that word but I think being a front runner within your genre could qualify for that.
