There are a lot of great music artists that could be considered "once in a lifetime", but for me there were two that were legendary. Maybe not as popular most of the names and not as globally renowned as others, but I'm sure people from my country would agree.
1. Md. Rafi - the most iconic and illustrious artist that India has ever seen. He was from the generation of our parents, but he was one, who swayed the hearts of the upcoming generations as well.
2. KK - The most celebrated artist of my time. Mosty known for his work during the 2000s, but outmatched by none. His unfortunate death was mourned by the entire country. He passed away when visiting my city to perform for a university. His death was honoured by gunshot parade by the government. He was one of a kind.

Prince for well, everything! He could do it all! Without a doubt. Lennon & McCartney for song writing. Freddy Mercury & Robert Plant for stage presence. TSwift for being a goddamn ATM machine for every city she plays in. NWA, Run the Jewels, Immortal Technique and Rage Against the Machine for social consciousness in their music. Sinatra, Aretha, Elvis, Johnny Cash, Diana Ross, Michael Jackson for sheer longevity and appeal to such diverse audiences. Truly unique innovation goes to Metallica, Black Eyed Peas, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Public Enemy, Beatles, Madonna and Eminem.
And country music for NOTHING. It sucks ass. How many times can you write about your truck, your town, your girl, your dog or your beer? Least creative genre out there. I said what I said.

Modern musicians just don't make music as good as the musicians in the past did anymore.

Based on popularity, talent, and influence:
Elvis Pressly
Jimi Hendrix
Taylor Swift (hate me all you want, but you can't deny her massive appeal, and she is a singer/songwriter/muscian who doesn't need 30 songwriters to make a hit album)
Bob Dylan , the influence on a generation
Including the Beatles
Rolling Stones..
Bobs great influence = Woody Guthrie
All of those in the top picture as well as Spike Jones, Glenn Miller, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Cheap Trick, AC/DC, Alice Cooper, Arthur Brown, etc..
Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, Mahavishnu Orchestra, King Crimson to name a few.
The 70s and 80s are awesome
Ronnie James Dio, Richie Blackmore... say weren't they in the same band at one time? Must've been one helluva band!*
