2. Prince
3. David Bowie

about Prince

Prince's consistently flamboyant kits made him indellible in the minds of his fanbase-and just about everyone else. Combine his sex appeal with his penchant for purple suits, nehru collars, and animal prints make him a true original. No matter if he was The Artist or reclaiming his royal name, his iconic look will live on forever. Game, blouses.

agreed. MJ was mildly stylish. Usually just onstage. Offstage he wore pajamas and even at rehersals he didn't dress to stylish.

Are people confusing "style" with glamour/prettiness?

Kurt Cobain had style. Maybe not your taste in it, but it was an undeniable style.

Ever heard of an anti hero?

Uh, style
Style is not something that comes in a bottle
Style is more like Jackie O. when she was doin' Aristotle

Style is like a second cousin 2 class

Style is loving yourself 'til everyone else does 2

U got it! - Style, come on
U got it! - Style, maybe
U got it! - Style, well well

Bridge:
Style don't get drunk on a Saturday night
Try 2 dress up every Sunday mornin' bright
Style don't get married then break the vow in a year
Style is keepin' a promise
Raise your hand y'all if U hear me

Style is not biting style when U can't find the funk

Style is lettin' your lover drive while U talk on the phone and chill

U got it! - Style
U got it! - Style, maybe
U got it! - Style, come on
U got it! - Style

Bridge:
Style is a gold-tooth smile with an attitude
Style is a peaceful wild postin' the rude
Style is growing your own food
Style is a non-violent march
Style is an accurate account of what's inside every heart (Style)

Style is not a lie
Style is a man that cries
Style is the glow in a pregnant woman's eyes

(Style) {x4}

U got it! - Style, come on
U got it! - Style, do that, do that
U got it! - Style, got it?
U got it! - Style, mad, come on

(Style) U got it! - Yeah
(Style) U got it!
Style is a peaceful wild y'all
(Style) U got it! - Style
(Style) U got it!
Style is not thinking about style
So let me stop (Style)

Hang on, hang on...

Style is buying your moms a house
Style is a clean mouth
Style is puppy breath
Style is no fear of death
Style is Ali's jab
Style is hailing a cab (Style)
Then U know, givin' 'em the finger when they pass your ass!

(Style) (U got it!) Bonnie, Bonnie
(Style) (U got it!) Oh yeah
(Style) Shirley, shake your ass, Shirley
(Sytle) Shirley, Shirley, I love U, Shirley


(Style) (U got it!) {repeat in BG)
Style is Mayte in the shower
Style is a soul new power
Style is when all black men are free
Style is U and me

Style is not just about Clothes/Jewels. And Of course, Style -just As Music, art and beauty- is subjective. For example, Everybody Think that Nicki Minaj Has "style" because of her wigs and clothes... To me, she's just another non-singing, non-dancing "Artist".

I always thought that Kurt Cobain was Attractive and talented... Kurt's Life was tragic and he was depressive and sad when he died, but he had a grunchy style. And good music.

As for Prince, I'm Glad he made it in that list. The man is too sexy smile

Contrary to his music, Prince's outfit choices have been on an upward curve since the 80s. Not that I dislike what he did in the past, but I think his suits and shirts in recent years have been more stylish. The picture in Complex is a good example.

Dead or alive, like it or not, his style has made a significant impact on pop culture as a whole."lists" will never give definitive answers.

I only remember Mick Jagger in a tshirt and tight pants, why is he number 1? what's so significant about his style?

Good to see P at 2, I don't always like what he's wearing, but he's out there with his fashion and he really dares to dress different.
