display name 4,360 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I don't know how to answer this question in a fair way. I personally would think that Madonna's more iconic, but that's probably only because I've paid way more attention to her. I can't discredit the fact that Michael Jackson was an icon as well.

After listening through her discography, she took some incredible risks. Way bigger risks than Gaga right now. Like, going from Ray of Light to American Life? Or just doing Ray of Light in general. Obviously ROL is an excellent album, but looking at all her other albums, it's so different, and I could see it as potentially being seen negatively. Luckily that wasn't the case. And then there's the whole erotica era, dressing as she pleased, and so on. I think once she dies, people will see her at the same, if not above, Michael's status. Madonna is an incredible artist with an equally incredible history behind her. Who dares to do a video like this? It took M.I.A. 5 years to make something that polemic ¿Qué currículum tiene ésta tarántula? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry 26,836 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I'd say they are both close. I hate to be "that guy" but I think Madonna's legendary status is downplayed a lot due to the fact that she's female. She may not have an album that's bigger than Thriller but her career was far more consistent. Michael's biggest hits mostly exist exclusively in the 80s and then really he started to decline after that (even though he does of course have some classics in the 90s). Whereas Madonna was scoring legit smashes from the beginning of her career up until around 2008. She probably has more hits than him, actually. But that's just kinda guesswork on my part. I'd never downplay Michael's impact or success, this is only about Madonna not getting the credit she deserves. She's considered a laughing stock by most of the GP these days and it's sad because she's achieved more than most artists could ever hope for, all the while reinventing herself with virtually every album. Even Michael didn't experiment as much as she did musically. So yes Michael probably is more iconic to most people, but I think whether that's right or not and if gender plays into it is a valid conversation to have.

I mean a meat dress, the Alejandro video, and "I'm in love with Judas." I perceived those as HUGE risks to be honest lol. Joanne is going to be a Ray of Light-esque type of risk as well. Can't wait.

Lucas 26,971 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I think Michael is mostly remembered for his entertaining skills and personality than for anything iconic, Madonna is mostly remembered for the iconic things she did in her different pop eras and how she pushed boundaries Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
