Best Music Legends in The World

Michael Jackson. Michael is a LEGEND! He started when he was just 5 in the Jackson 5. My favorite song by him is well, don't ask me that. They're all so good. Michael was such a lovely guy, so kind-hearted, generous and loving to all. He gave 300+million dollars to charities and welcomed disadvantages kids to come and spend time with him at Neverland. He was overall, a legend. And I will always think that. I don't care about what the haters say because they obviously have their heads stuck up their rear if they couldn't see how amazing he was. All he wanted to do was spread love, peace and hope around the world, tried to change his ways to make the world better. His songs were AMAZING and they will always be remembered. His dancing was breathtaking, I wish he hadn't left us, but in a way he hasn't. Because his spirit will forever live on in everyone's hearts and he can look down on us and laugh and enjoy watching us respecting him for once. Joe Jackson (Michael's father) said: "Michael wasn't ever really interested in money. I'd give him his share of a night's earnings and the next day he'd buy ice cream or candy for all the kids in the neighbourhood. "
Simple, but sweet things like that were what made Michael such a generous guy. I love Michael Jackson and don't care what the haters say.
RIP Michael
Moonwalk through heaven's doors.

Andy Gibb was a great singer and songwriter. He had a natural talent and a good heart. Many girls loved him and now those same girls are grown women and still love him. I'm one of them. I had a crush on him when I was a kid. When I first saw him on T.V. hosting "Solid Gold", I thought he was cute. Then I heard him sing. Andy was more than just a cutie. He was talented too. I can't stop loving him. As much as I admire, love, and respect a certain friend of his whom I'm not saying, I hope Andy wins because he deserves to win and it would make his family, friends, and fans happy. It would help celebrate his musical legacy since he left this world at a young age before he could continue his career. It would also honor and preserve his memory for future generations to come.

The Brother's Gibb are/were since the tragic loss of Maurice & Robin, amazing talented & brilliant songwriters not only for themselves but for other music artists as well. For decades their blended harmony of their songs are so beautifully mastered that they have a way of making whoever is listening to their songs just want to sing along. I know I do & their songs always give me a happy feeling that I want everyone to hear their music. Some of their most beautiful peaceful songs come from the heart. Just amazing. Some of my favorites are To Much Heaven, Alone, Still Waters Run Deep, etc. In my eyes the Bee Gees are & will always be Number One. They are legends of their time.

The Beatles have influenced so many musicians which that reason itself makes them legendary. The diversity in music styles, especially in the White Album, is unbelievable. The clever lyrics and memorable tunes make the Fab Four the most inspirational and well known band in history. The powerful hits from Lennon-McCartney and creative songs from Harrison and Starr are astoundingly beautiful. The Beatles changed the history of music and re-defined Pop/Rock. There's a song for every mood you are feeling and a tale to each one. Sure there are other legendary artists out there but none of them can compare to the level of experimentation and fame that the Beatles endured. Their influential music will go on and outlive all of us because it's that incredible.

I can't help myself when it comes to Queen's music. Even though it may not matter, the look of Queen was extraordinary. The music was 101% better than that. Hit songs and songs that go unnoticed by Queen are spectacular in my opinion. These songs seem to be thought out by their writers (basically the whole band). I feel as though everyone who contributed to these masterpieces besides Freddie go unrecognized. Freddie should really be #1, but hey I guess we (the fans) will just have to settle. Great List!
Freddie Mercury is the best singer ever! He was awesome! I have no idea why modern day teens prefer Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, One Direction, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, and Kanye West over Queen! What is wrong with you, teens?! Why are you listening to stuff that is not even real music?! Start listening to Freddie Mercury and you'll realize that you were wrong about music, because Freddie Mercury actually makes real music!

The greatest music legend in the world, ever! He charmed the world, he opened the door to so many other musicians. He was a man of tremendous talent, amazing charisma and gorgeous good looks. Elvis has sold more records than any other artist in the history of the world, broken every attendance record and was a wonderful caring man. Nobody will ever equal his fantastic legacy. Surely, the greatest ever, the true number one!
The greatest, the icon of icons, the original, an innovator the biggest star who ever walked the earth, beautiful looking man, amazingy generous to his fellow man, loved his country did military service, magnificent stage presence, magic charisma and the greatest singer ever. Sadly, he was destroyed by other people. At rest now. Your fans will love you forever Elvis. God bless his wonderful memory.

Bob Marley should be number 1. This man fought for his people and set them free with the music. His music is just absolutely phenomenal. His short 36 years on earth wasn't enough for him to accomplish his vision he had for the betterment of mankind. None of these others in the list fought for a cause except pac.
Bob Marley did not focus on sadness or lust in his songs instead merely tried to make people happy. His music is relaxing and calming and promotes the real things in life like peace and freedom. This is why he should be number one. This is why he is by far the best musician there has ever been.

The best rapper of all time and a revolutionary man. This is what makes him stand out. He transcended his own genre of hip-hop, and advanced it to the next artistic level. Tupacs music is heard all over the world, even in third world villages and slums. The music he created was simply beautiful beyond words. He had a way with lyrics that told a story from multiple levels of understanding, he was truly genius. The media and Hollywood try to downplay him and his "thug image". But if you truly understand him, you will recognize him as the real voice of the young generation. He was out to make the world a better place, and achieved this through his musical aspirations. Simply a musical legend whether you like hip-hop or not.

Whitney was an successful artist, awarded singer, best selling artist...
The differences of whitney to another is being a greatest singer of all time, that's why she acclaim the name the voice, her voice like no other, the way she deliver the song with heartfelt voice, that's why I like her she lost her voice, but she's still stand for it to fight... In her latest album I look to you... Nothing can sing in her own way, and her own way to deliver a song... A great artist
I love her and she had a one of a kind voice she was beautiful black woman and had lots to live for and I know she wouldn't want people to cry because shes with her best friend her father and his name is god. I love you whitney.R.I.P. there will never be another you or minnie riperton. Also I'm 11 years old and writing this responce because I feel so much for her and her family. I pray her family will be strong and get through this tragety of this legend daughter and mother. Love you whitney. Go sing for the lord. And I love all of her music and hope shes in glory praising god for giving her life and praying that her mother and daughter will be strong and her family
R.I. P whitney love ya

Honestly, David should be in front of Madonna. He basically inspired her. He had such a huge roll in the music industry and is definitely one of the biggest music legends. He taught everyone to be individuals and made amazing music.
Bowie was a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actor, record-producer, SUPERSTAR! Nobody even compares to this man. He's one in a million and should 100% be #1.
BOWIE! His videos are so strange, yet so inspiring. And his music has cool mixes to them. Bowie is always gonna be a legend, even through death.
The Newcomers

The artist that gave us California Soul & Woman of the Ghetto (which provided off of the best form of scat singing in music). R.I.P. (1942-2024).


I voted stevie wonder because he didn't sing with his voice but with his soul
I love stevie! I'm just 12 yrs. Old but but I can still cope up with his songs
Stevie Wonder should be in top five.
Even though he is blind he sung and didn't let anyone tell him he couldn't do it

Imagine there's no Lennon, it's easy if you try... Imagine's peak position... 22... Just makes me want to cry... As I write this obituary Mr J. Lennon is now at no. 40... Seriously, this generation (and to be honest the wider human race) is completely and utterly doomed...
On a slightly different but related point I would like to also put on record that I prefer his writing partners partner... E.G. linda McCartney. Yoyo ohno never did it for me, doesn't register on my radar, must be radar absorbent, or at the very least her cladding (clothes) must provide the magic bullet and/or technical wizardry to stop her from showing up on a radar screen as 'clutter' E.G. unwanted 'returns'. Maybe the material incorporates 'diodes' which somehow alter the wavelength of the returned signal such that the receiver (radar) can't decipher or register it. The returned signal effectively becomes 'out of phase'.

I have more than 700 cd's of his works. Performed by different orchestras. It's amazing, every composition is such an experience to listen, and I always strongly prefer one version of a composition by a certain orchestra over another. I'm listening more seriously since 2004 and still find some absolute gems in all his works.
Why would it be weird that his music is still popular today? (: He made masterpieces. He should be much higher, in my humble opinion. I can't believe Mariah Carey is higher than Mozart.
May seem weird but his music is still quite popular today.

Oh my god! Oh my god! Eminem and 2pac are good. Britney Spears, Beyonce and Rhianna not so much. But Pink Floyd can never be compared to them. They are not even in the sane league. They deserve to be in the top three. Never No 21. They are surely better then Madonna. This list is not proper. They are way better than this.
No one compares, fantastic in every way. Never bored of their music as you hear something new every time. Absolute legends all off them.
Nobody can top the greatness of Nick, Richard, Syd, and David
Not even Roger Waters with his narcissism and his spouting of political views every other song in every single concert

She had a huge range! Amazing control of her voice, with an incredible tone and quality that made her unique. Chithra's voice was truly unlike any other. She is a true legend!
What an amazing singer this great and gracious lady was. I can't get enough of her voice. It is just incredible. She deserves to be at least in the top five. This seems to be a list dominated by unheard-of one-hit wonders.
People call her a goddess. She loves her family, friends, and fans, always helping others in their time of need. Her kindness and character make this idol not only stunningly beautiful but also someone who is loved and respected by all.

Prince is the most iconic artist hands down. While there are many artists who are extremely talented, Prince is what legends are made of in so many categories! On his very first album, as a teen..he wrote the music, the lyrics and recorded ALL of the instruments and vocals BY HIMSELF! First album! His lyrics mixed sex, religion, diversity, politics, acceptance, love for one another and freedom of expression all in poetic prose. He played just about every instrument, self taught, with perhaps the exception of horns. And he played them better than people who only played a particular one.He single handedly taught the recording industry, and the world, that artist's rights matter. He fought to break contract and changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol in order to continue recording until he had won his Masters back from WB. People thought he was crazy. He was, crazy like a fox! He paved the way for so many artists that have come since. He was an amazing dancer, choreographer, arranger, producer and entertainer. He was a Pioneer on so many fronts. A musical Genius that we likely will not see again in our lifetimes. No one compares when you look at the totality of the whirlwind that was Prince Rogers Nelson.

People forget that classical music is music to it seems. Beethoven is not only a genius, but a pioneer. Try to make music when your deaf and still make some of the most complex and beautiful songs ever made.
If Beethoven were alive today and had access to today's technology the likes of Michael Jackson and Freddy Mercury would have paled in comparison.
Beethoven's music has been alive for centuries. How can he be below Britney Spears whose silly songs have been forgotten even by her fans?

What's amazing about Madonna is that she has so many hits throughout her career. It's a big lie that she only had hits in the 80s! I only listened to her music a year ago, but now I'm a big fan of hers! For those who don't know her music, like me before, I suggest start with her 2009 greatest hits album, Celebration, it won't disappoint! And also I admire that she really doesn't repeat herself!
A legend for all the wrong reasons. She may be the most successful female artist of all time, but by no means is she the most talented or creative. The prototype pop slapper. She was the turning point in music, from when it started to go down hill. Utterly disgusting that she is considered a legend among the greats. The queen of pop? Hooker of pop more like.

Bob Dylan has been and always will be number one! The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Donovan, Joan Baez, The Clancy Brothers, Johnny Cash, Peter Paul and Mary Guns n Roses, I could name a thousand artists who have covered his songs or were influnced by him. Everyone can agree that he is one in a million. There will never be another Bob Dylan. He changed music permanently multiple times. His lyrics are honest, true, mind blowing, poetic, and full of imagery. He is one of the greatest poets out there. He is one of the most interesting people ever too. Concert audiences would fall silent just for him. He IS number one.

Lowkey isn't even major, need to read a dictionary and look up the word legend...
This guy speaks the truth and s one of the best artists to come out of england. Incredible

Want to know who is better than Freddie Mercury? This guy.
