6 Most Iconic Musicians Of All Time
2. Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson's Thriller, released in 1982, remains the biggest selling album of all time, and it's not even close. So not close, in fact, that it will probably never be topped. He has another two albums in the top 20, more than anyone else.
He's in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the only pop/rock artist in the Dance Hall of Fame, and he's in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice. He's the Greatest Entertainer of All Time. The King of Pop.
Jackson broke down barriers, turned music videos into an artform, and redefined what a musician should be on stage. His music has span generations, everyone knows a Michael Jackson song, and he's inspired and influenced countless artists since.
