Some people swear by that Juice Wrld is the greatest artist and is a legend. I don’t think he hit that status. Sure, I think he’s got some good ass songs and I get the message of most of his songs and it sucks cause it seems like he had other intentions with his music but people saw him and thought wow that’s cool I’m gonna pop some pills so I can be like him, though the dude was struggling hard with addiction and preaching it through his music but then again there were many artists doing the same thing around this time, he is one of the more talented ones out of them but I don’t feel like he changed the game. I would agree Queens could be in the Legend class because they made a really big impact, I don’t personally like their music but I understand why others do and that their style and experimentation had completely changed the game. There are some artists that had clearly impacted the world in a big way and it seems that term kinda gets thrown around too much without clear reasonings.

Yep. My favorite band is Haken (pronounced "Hay-ken"), a prog metal band from England. I'd say they're a lot more creative than nearly all highly successful bands/artists, but I'd never label them as the "greatest". You can only equate greatness with how successful you are, and in the world of popular music, success usually doesn't equal unparalleled creativity.
