I'd be interested in seeing who you consider iconic or legendary that you don't personally like and saying why you think they are.

So are you insisting that Michael Jackson being an Icon and The Supremes being a legend is just MY own subjective opinion OR you disagree with that?

There are objective reasons for why they are Icons and legends, MJ is both.

I have made it clear previously that I don't think this current generation has any Icons or legends because they have not really made that much of an impact on music (and quite frankly they haven't).

Elvis is a legend and I don't like him (which I haven't stated plenty of times)

Madonna is an Icon and I think she is overrated.....but Madonna has Iconic and classic albums, songs, performances (MTV performance), videos etc, she has made a big cultural impact on pop culture.
