Biggest Pop Icon of the last 25 years!
Michael Wins ESPN Poll
King of Pop voted biggest pop icon of last 25 years
Michael Jackson defeated U2 in the final round of ESPN's poll to find the biggest Pop Icon of the last 25 years.
The King of Pop had defeated Madonna and Guns 'n' Roses in previous rounds.
He's the King of Pop. No, we're not talking about present-day Michael Jackson and his rumors. We're talking about the one who was A-list of all A-list celebrities. Back when "Thriller" ruled all in 1983 -- winning eight Grammy awards. Not only did Jackson's music fly off the shelves, but the advent of MTV helped propel both to the top of the "must-have" list. You may try and joke about him now, but back in the day -- you know you tried to moon walk.
