Christian,
In all aspects of life its not the actual ability/content/acheivement that makes something a legend its how others perceive something.
Take music for example, there are some excellent bands who never make it, not because they arent good, but its down to having the 'x factor', exposure in the public eye etc etc
SOY did loads of shows, was in plenty mags and was just generally out and about.
Films.. there have been some great films that have been box office flops...
Books.. again there have been some excellent works of literature that have flopped...
SO just accept it.... SOY's a LEGEND........ get over it, move on
