Best album he did outside of The Beatles for me is Band on the Run. But to me it isn't really about albums (there are relatively few classic albums that have been made in my estimation) it's more about songs.

My original referral to Icons? Was meant to mean..for example, classic singles like Ziggy Stardust, and so on..has made Bowie and other artist Icons. For writing such unique and original songs unlike any other artist has. Nothing at all to do with image. I admit image, stage presence, media coverage and statistics, etc, and even the personal lives of famous artist is all a part of the big picture. I believe image has very little significance when rating a band, the music gives valid representation to an artist as a music "Icon". Not how they represent themselves or how the media represents and rates them. |

I was really making fun of this absurd phrase that people repeat as if it must be true that 'Michael Jackson is the king of pop'. There are plenty of other contenders. People should just enjoy his music for what it is, don't make big claims as it's pointless.

Michael Jackson IS the king of pop just like Elvis is the king of Rock n Roll.
We have a thread dedicated to Elvis trying to take away the meaningless title that was given to him but it's still a title nonetheless and the average music listener will go around talking about those two being the kings in their respective genres.

It's just a gimmick.
Just like James Brown is 'The hardest working man in showbusiness' or The Rolling Stones 'The greatest rock n roll band in the world' or Kiss being 'The hottest band in the world' or Motorhead being 'the loudest band in the world' Sure there are probably people who could dispute those claims but those bands claimed those things and they stuck with the general public so I guess there could be some element of truth to them regardless of whether they are actually 100% true or false.

yes that was my point, you just worded it a bit better.
