But your not going to see to many "legends" any more so its a difficult baseline to compare.

The rock genre has splintered so much, and the rise of independent scene in the last few years has kind of created so many niches that those legendary to some have no relevance to others.
Is Of Montreal legendary? Wilco? Certainly proliphic enough but are they "rock gods".?

Example, to me, Beck is easily legendary status, so is Jack White. Throw in Billy Corgan.
So is John Frusciante.
And objectively speaking I'd have to throw in Thom Yorke.

But is Coldplay legendary?
At a certain point Rock stars have kind of softened up, in that those that have the wide Pop appeal that would garner them legendary in the hearts and minds of many people all over the world don't necessarily "Rock as hard" (if you can allow me to be so cliche).
