Bigger music icon?

[keverton]

Personally think it would be elvis as he probably was the first iconic music figure

Gary Barlow.

Elvis Presley for me. Doubt anyone will ever have the same impact on the history of music.

This is just some sick Wacko Jacko thread.

 

[Gazdalf]

The Beatles as a whole

 

[Nebbiolo]

The Beatles as a whole

Individually, they were no better than average.As a band, absolutely amazing. The Beatles cannot die.

well if you don't like it why come in spoling it i just want to get people's opinion on who were the biggest of the 4. Go back to your moutinho thread. Now thats something which should be closed

Well in my defense when I posted you hadnt put any options, so it never really made any sense.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Out of those 4 I'd go for Bob Dylan.

 

[Blue Ray]

The Beatles as a whole

Got to agree with that statement. John Lennon was right when he once said that Elvis died when he joined the army. As for MJ it's music video's that have boosted his sales over the years. God knows how many more records The Beatles would have sold if they'd have had that benefit.

i voted elvis but i think he only barely edges out Sinatra, Sinatra probably had the best voice of all time, but without Elvis rock music would barely even exist today.

the beatles are definitely icons, and i think lennon is iconic himself, but not to the extent of elvis, i think without his influence music today would definitely suffer, but there were great bands similar to the beatles at the time the beatles had gotten big, so i think rock music would have still pulled through

tbh i like Michael Jacksons music, but i think his biggest contribution to music has been dance, he revolutionized dance, he's now the benchmark for amazing dancing. the dance style popularly associated with rap music (even though hip-hop is completely different from MJ's style), would not exist were it not for jackson, so we definitely can't sell his influence short.
