Ok, here is the deal. First of all, I LOVE George Michael and don't dis him, Randy. That is just mean. Tom Cruise can kiss my ass.
Second, if anyone on here has a problem with Prince, that is your prerogative. However, you cannot deny the dude is an icon. I agree with J_Absynthe's (sp?) rec for Bowie if a man was to be the first guy icon because that makes sense. He was/is genius even though Iman ruined him.
You can hate Prince, think the guy is butt-ugly, hate his music, hate his beliefs, hate everything about him, but the fact remains that he pretty much defined a decade of music and to this day is still an amazing musician. He has more talent in whatever small package is being stored in that tiny black bikini than most musicians have in their entire bodies. He is a musical pioneer, in my opinion, and probably the first person to wear dazzleglass lipgloss before dazzleglass lipgloss was even a MAC item. The man rocks. 'Nuff said.
