I have a hard time seeing any punk/ska band becoming legendary. Any band of that genre who is 'legendary' was a part of the original explosion.

I agree with Alicia Keys becoming a legendary artist, and Christina Aguilera as well, she had a pretty pop music start, but if she continues to produce albums at a decent pace and matures she'll go down in history. Her voice is too good. I'm not a huge fan of her songs, but I can appreciate her talent.

Outkast is another.

But I think moon hit the nail on the head, music now is so fragmented into BS genres that it is way harder to become legendary. Add on that the single song based purchasing of music and the reduction of shows that showcase bands on TV.
