25) George Clinton: Usually the musicians who look the freakiest are trying to hide the fact that they're actually not very good. Because as you'll see on this list, very few legends do more than sing and play legendarily. Clinton, however, was a showman. And he pioneered a whole new funky way of being. And he had Eddie Hazel on guitar. That helped. But with a name like George Clinton, he could've been President. But he wouldn't cut his hair.
24) B.B. King: One of the great blues guitarists and a man who has practically lived on the stage. Despite his health concerns, BB played on, performing a "Farewell Tour" in 2006 that remains to be seen if it will be his actual final stand. At 82, it's not like we're expecting him to behave like The Who.
17) Aretha Franklin: What I love most about Aretha Franklin is how she'll let out one of her patented screams just when you least expect it. I had a cat that used to do that and he caused me to leap out of my chair in spine-tingling fear. Aretha's quite a bit more musical than my old cat, which is why she made this list and Leon didn't. That and "I Never Loved A Man" is about as perfect a song as you can imagine. We'll forgive her "Freeway Of Love," a song, I am told, that some people actually listen to for pleasure. And that won a Grammy. Whatever you say.
15) Al Green: Al Green is one of those great singers where writers trot out the idea that he could even sing the phone book and make it sound good. I wouldn't go that far. No one can sing the telephone book. Hopefully, no one will ever try.
14) Stevie Wonder: Of course, Stevie had a heckuva head start. He also beat the odds of being one of those child prodigies who ends up in a cheap motel doing drugs with other former child stars or on bad reality shows. Instead, Stevie was able to convince Motown to leave him alone long enough that he could create his own kind of music. Lucky for him, his own kind of music turned out to be something other people wanted to hear as well. Usually it doesn't work out that way. Most people's own kind of music turns out to be self-indulgent awfulness, while Stevie only once decided to write an entire album about plants.
13) Bruce Springsteen: Bruce isn't just in the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, he's in the New Jersey Hall of Fame, GO JERSEY!!!!!, which includes Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison. As someone who spent many years living there, I know it should also commemorate an endless slew of toll plazas, treacherous highways plagued with endless retail stores and bad drivers, insane amounts of McMansions, and guys who say hello by staring at you and yelling "What the (expletive deleted) are you looking at?" On the plus side, someone else pumps your gas.
11) Ray Charles: Ray Charles could sing anything. And to prove it, he did what at the time was practically unthinkable, an album of country-western covers that opened him up to a whole new audience and gave many others the idea of "crossing over" too. Of course, he also sang with Kermit the Frog. Which led to John Denver teaming up with the Muppets. Uh, thanks, Ray.
10) Prince: Ok, the name change was a bad idea. And he should never be allowed to make movies. And he probably records too much music. But that's actually our problem. It's up to us to find the time to listen to it all. The guy can play any instrument and every time someone sings in a freaky falsetto, or plays a sparse funk, they get compared to him. And also when someone acts kooky and secretive.
4) Miles Davis: Miles Davis didn't invent music, but he did invent new ways to play it. And he did so in a genre--that would be Jazz--that most people do not pay attention to (because it requires thinking and apparently making up your own words, since--dig this--most of the tunes are instrumentals! Weird huh?). And he managed to make people pay attention. And then he found ways to change it. And he employed other musicians who went on to become legends as well. And he made music that at first people hated. Then they liked it. When they either got used to it, or noticed that other people liked it.
2) James Brown: The Godfather of Soul was also a major proponent of funk. He was unstoppable. He could dance. He could sing. He could grunt. He could drive on angeldust. And he collected fines from his bandmates when they screwed up. At least he didn't shoot them.

I've never said your taste in music isn't diverse, you may love all types of music, but it doesn't contradictory to the fact that you may not know some of the greatest musician in such genre or a different one.
Try Jamie Lidell, if you like Outkast, try Plantlife [a group that was crowned as the new Outkast], try Kenna, try Sam Sparro, try Jamiroquai etc. There are just too many good artists out there to say that 80% of today's music is crap.

Some people here are missing the point...
The title of this thread is "These are the real music LEGENDS." In theory, no matter how good an artist is today, they cannot be considered a LEGEND. That includes Britney Spears.
Some people here are very closed minded because you don't seem to realize that without some of these artists, you wouldn't have the music you love today. I admit that many of these artists I don't like, but how can you possibly say that they are no legends.
Bob Dylan showed us how to rock.
James Brown defined soul.
Paul McCartney showed us how to write great music and rock at the same time.
Johnny Cash showed us that you didn't need a huge vocal range to become a legend. His version of "Hurt" is almost as, if not actually is, better than Nine Inch Nails' version.
Ray Charles is one of the best singers of all time.
Bruce Springsteen showed us how to rock hard.
B.B. King led the way for master guitarists.
Those are just some of the ones I know well, but all of the artists on that list are deserving of legend status, not Britney Spears.
I listen to today's music just as much as you people (just not from the same genre ), but you have to acknowledge that these artists (and others) from the past led the way for artists today.

Agree with pretty much everything you said...
And as far as the list, I think it is a GOOD list... it's not perfect (and, as any list, subjective), but it includes people who are arguably deserving of the title of music legends. I'm not a fan of even half of the artists in this list, yet I can still ackowledge they were something special to the music industry and their contributions to it are still talked about and praised... that's how you know someone can be called a legend.
Now, I do have to admit that one of the reasons why I like this list is that it includes three of my favorite artists of all time: Elvis Costello, Prince, and Bruce Springsteen...
