IMO he stopped producing good ones after his first solo one. Anything he's done that I've heard since then seem like he's mailing it in. He's a cultural figure of note, but I'm not sure he's an icon. He's made some okay to terrible movies, was in an okay band once and seems like a cool, likable guy who's good at marketing himself and his image. Hell, I'd put Danzig ahead of him and Manson in terms of horror-metal legitimacy and talent. He invented the genre with the Misfits and evolved to makes a few pretty good records with the early Danzig lineup.
Unfortunately he's a raging dick and can no longer sing/write good music. Not an icon, not a god, but still more deserving and overall influential than many.
