which one is correct?

Hi everyone!
It seems that my english doesn �t work well on Sundays or maybe I just need a break.. but I �m stuck with this sentence!...I need your opinion though I know it can be a silly question...
Is it right "historical music events and icons"? or better..."historic musical events and icons"?
thanks in advance!

I would definitely go for the second one, but let �s wait for other member �s opinions... ;))

Well, we �ll need more information to be able to give you an answer.
Historical would be about history
Historic would be making history (memorable, having an impact)
I think both "music events" and "musical events" work, although "musical events" sounds a little more natural.
I hope this helps.

historical music events and icons - not historic.
I would say there are no silly questions but that �s not true! This, however, is not a silly question!
Historical is anything relating to history in some way.
Historic is only used to mark memorable events or occasions.
This historic agreement marks the end of decades of war.
To commerate this historic occasion, an exhibition has been organised.
Hope that helps!
