Most Iconic Image of Any Given Artist

Electric Light Orchestra

 

Robert Johnson

Charlie Patton

 

Interesting, didn't see any photo's of Elvis.

 

I think for Bob Dylan this is the most iconic one.

 

Joe Strummer's pose on Earthquake Weather

 

I was just about to post this. That's iconic.

 

Dylan is a tough one. I feel just as strongly about the Freewheeling cover. And perhaps more so of the shots from behind from the Bangla Desh concert.

 

This is a pretty defining image of Joy Division and Ian Curtis:


Of course it's a video but you could probably take any frame from the Phil Collins music video for In The Air Tonight and say it's an iconic image:


And fairly or not, I think this picture of James Hetfield and Robert Trujillo from Metallica easily became an ironically iconic and unintentionally defining image:

 

Lord Upminster, by Chris Gabrin

 

Gram Parsons (late career)

 

Very nice, thanks for posting it.

 

When I think of Mile Davis, I think of these 2 images:

 

Thanks - that explains it. She did remove the poster - it hung on her bedroom wall.
