this is a good shout, probably was in a few ways. Zappa was a true maverick.
someone else who's name hasn't come up is Sun RA. he was on a different level
people arguing Michael Jackson is an innovator...is he? what did he innovate? remember things like dancing ability (he definitely didn't invent the moonwalk btw), songwriting skills, cultural mass appeal, record sales, and having a really great team of image stylists does not constitute 'innovation'... you could be in the top tier worldwide at all those things and still not be an innovator
