By this logic we will not know the true "icon-ness" of MJ yet then.

are you talking in the US? Elvis...


world wide? MJ...


Elvis was alive before the world got so small... and There aren't too many people with a world following like MJ... even with the way he fucked his image up

this is a male-dominated forum, so of course people are going to vote for the most masculine, or for a rock star vs. a pop star

IMO MJ accomplished twice as much as Elvis did, regardless of what I might think of his personal shortcomings

All Elvis did was shake his hips and snarl.

Michael taught us to moon walk.

I can tell you this, when perusing a karaoke book at the beach last week, Elvis had 6 fucking pages of songs listed.

Being from NC I'm surprised you didn't say Richard Petty was THE King.
