As far as shocking to the mainstream then I'd give it to Cooper easily simply cause in the 70s no one had done that **** (as far as I know), but I never really remembered Manson or ICP ever having any serious difference in impact past a couple albums that entered the mainstream consciousness at the right time. If Manson did it was probably cause he was bigger when Columbine hit. Otherwise he was just as flash in the pan. ICP had a seriously underrated evolution as artists that changed continually for over a decade that never sat still and always pushed forward.
