Gary Wilson5 said:How could you possibly forget the absolute icon himself: Mr. Frank Zappa?

Actually, I mentioned him just two posts before you did.

Wait,
what’s the actual point of this thread??
I mean, Jim Morrison is dead. Not exactly a topic for debate.

Yeah, true... personally, I think the most legendary solo act is Bobby D (Bob Dylan, obviously). He isn't a band, just one man who sits at the top of everyone's list of inspirations. He’s worked with everyone under the sun, and sooner or later, everybody either covered him or ended up copying his style. As for the most cult favorites... hmm... I'm torn between Aphex Twin (again, not a band...), Tricky, and Add N to(X)
(though maybe Boards of Canada or Frank Zappa too... I don't know)

Go back and read the whole thread from the start... My take? A "legend" is someone who made a massive impact on music as a whole—think The Beatles. But a "cult icon" is whoever hits home for you personally. It might be someone most people have never heard of, but those who do know them would go to war for them, just like people used to say...
