Icons 3
This year we unearthed another eclectic round of icons—from an illustrator to an adult film star, skateboarder to a politician. We spent a year preparing this issue and we’re proud of its span. It includes more than 50 cultural heavyweights, capturing the sometimes humorous, sometimes eccentric, sometimes tenacious, sometimes gallant, manifestations of the iconic.

I guess my only question is, why make a list like this at all.

Going out on a limb but maybe they thought it would be something that their target audience would want to read and consequently purchase their magazine.

No I mean, why make this list when the BBC have already decided:
