Who is there that you truly believe deserves to go down in history for what they've contributed to the industry? Be they past or present, living or dead.
I've got a few on my list:
Bob Dylan - The man is a genius. There's very few people who can write music that's as influential and respected 40 years later as the day it was released.
The Beatles - Pretty much the same goes. They've written some legendary songs that will never go out of date.
Elvis Presley - You don't get called The King of Rock 'n' Roll for nothing. Again, he's written some top-class stuff.
Johnny Cash - For very much the same reasons as above. Despite the fact that he's passed on, he's still referred to and compared to now.
Jimi Hendrix - Show me another man who can play a guitar with his teeth, and I'll add them to the list. Amazing talent.
And now a little more recent:
Liam & Noel Gallagher - Oasis are seen as a band that shaped the way music currently is, and are one if (if not the) biggest bands of the 90s. Their stuff will very probably be just as popular in another 20 years.
Alex Turner - Yes, he's new to the scene, but he's written (in my opinion) two outstanding albums that have won several awards. Since Arctic Monkeys came onto the scene, they've had countless nominations for awards every year.
Matt Bellamy - Much like Turner, he's won several awards for his writings and performances through the years. He's been asked to write songs for Hollywood films also, so he's getting a huge reputation globally.
Note: I intentionally left Kurt Cobain out, because I never really saw him as legendary. Just someone who was pretty good with a guitar.
There's probably more that I'll add later on as and when I think of them.

I was told not to go to their concerts. From what I've heard that they're great for the first 30 minutes of the concert, then the band starts getting tired. Towards the end they're terrible from what I heard.
), Slayer, Opeth, etc. He holds some of the longest, fastest, and deepest tribal rhythms ever! Amazing, simply amazing.
, but yeah, thats when I first got into them. I heard Beautiful Day & I was like ooooooh. All that you can't Leave behind is one of my favourite albums.
