It's official, VH1 is on crack! Has anyone seen the full list of the top 200 pop icons? Who the hell put this thing together? Now I'm not one to put much into these VH1 lists but this is so off base I just had to comment. For those who hasn't seen it here's a taste.
1. Oprah Winfrey 2. Superman 3. Elvis Presley 4. Lucille Ball 5. Tom Cruise 6. Marilyn Monroe 7. Madonna 8. Michael Jordan 9. Princess Diana 10. Michael Jackson 11. Friends Cast 12. The Beatles 13. Jerry Seinfeld 14. Steven Spielberg 15. Jennifer Lopez 16. Muhammad Ali 17. Mickey Mouse 18. Bill Clinton 19. The Brady Bunch 20. Britney Spears Others of note: 27. Frank Sinatra 31. Eminem 35. P. Diddy 36. Johnny Carson 50. James Brown 51. Tiger Woods 54. John Wayne 57. Nicole Kidman 64. Celine Dion 65. Jackie Robinson 66. Barbra Streisand 71. Run D.M.C. 76. Bruce Springsteen 77. Bugs Bunny 78. Arnold Schwarzenegger 85. Eddie Murphy 92. Al Pacino 94. Penny Marshall (as Laverne DeFazio) 99. Henry Winkler (as the Fonz) 100. Will Smith 101. Kevin Bacon 105. Richard Pryor 109. Jimi Hendrix 117. William Shatner 119. Ben Affleck 120. Sarah Jessica Parker 122. Bob Denver (as Gilligan) 134. Janet Jackson 137. PRINCE 138. Hugh Hefner 139. Molly Ringwald 147. David Bowie 158. Batman 167. The Three Stooges 171. Scooby-Doo 174. Tupac Shakur 179. Chris Rock 184. Bob Marley 189. Dolly Parton 194. Dr. Phil 197. Judge Judy 200. The Rock Oprah Winfrey #1. Friends Cast ahead of the Beatles? Why is Tom Cruise in the top 20 let alone #5? Jennifer Lopez ahead of Ali! What the fuck is she even doing on the list alone with Britney Spears, Eminem. Maybe it would be a good idea to at least be around a decade before we call someone an icon. Ya Think? Celine Dion ahead of Streisand and Laverne ahead of the Fonz LOL Yea I missed all those Laverne t-shirts when I was a kid. Keven Bacon ahead of Hendrix? Why the hell is Kevin Bacon, Ben Affleck & Sarah Jessica Parker on this list let alone ahead of PRINCE! Talk about no respect. And Nicole Kidman ahead of William Shatner at 117? Guess I missed those Nicole Kidman conventions. Yea and Chris Rock is more of an icon than Bob Marley  Molly Ringwald, Dr Phil and Judge Judy icons? How old where the people who put this list together. It's like the took random names and just made a list. The VH1 thing is just foolish now. After this they really need to quit.[This message was edited Thu Jul 24 15:02:10 PDT 2003 by intha916] Bringing Together Five Decades of R&B/Funk/Soul/Dance

These lists never make any sense! They are still fun though  In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

This is the most fucked up of all. Seriously, I think they smoked crack before putting this shit out. Just think of the first 200 people off the top of your head and write them down. Won't be any more fucked up than this. Bringing Together Five Decades of R&B/Funk/Soul/Dance

For what it's worth mine would be...
Elvis Michael Jackson Ali The Beatles John Wayne Michael Jordan Mariyln Monroe Babe Ruth Frank Sinatra JFK An icon is someone who has to stand the test of time with cross market appeal. They have to transend their occupation. To be an icon 90% (or more) of the population should be able to identify them at first glance at least a decade after they made it big. I don't like everyone on my top 10 list but nobody can deny they are all huge icons Bringing Together Five Decades of R&B/Funk/Soul/Dance
