Poll: Legend, Icon.. Too loosely used?? Oct 1st 2012, 09:32 This is inspired by the recent threads that are popping up that are saying is "so and so legendary". Personally I think the words Legendary and Iconic are too loosely used. Are they great honors to have bestowed upon someone?? YES!! But unfortunately the title doesn't fit everyone. I would say legendary acts are people like MJ, Beatles and Elvis. Their success and impact on the industry is unparalleled. They have changed the industry in so many ways during their time, evryone else falls short. Icons are people like Whitney, Madonna, Prince, Janet, The Supremes, Rolling Stones(could be in the legendary group), Little Richard, Temptations, Aretha Franklin(could be in the legendary group), Ike and Tina(could be in the legendary group), Tupac, Biggie, Queen, etc, etc. Basically people who has had profound impacts during their time period and you can still see their marks today. Just because you had a few hits or were the 'it girl, boy or band" of your time, DOESNT make you iconic. Do you guys agree??
