Bravo, Master of Pop Culture Nicknames! You're a nickname genius!
Although Ozzy has a box set called Prince of Darkness and it is his nickname, he doesn't have a song called Prince of Darkness. Alice Cooper does and has had it when he recorded it for his 1987 release Raise Your Fist and Yell which features “Prince of Darkness”, which is featured very briefly in the John Carpenter film of the same name, in which Cooper has a cameo as a murderous vagrant. The song can be heard on the Walkman of one of his victims.

The Slowhand question sparked a memory. There's an album cover (I assume Mr. Clapton's) that shows a big wall with the words Clapton Is God--and there's a dog who's...shall we say, giving his opinion (watering the wall) down in the corner.
It wasn't an album cover. Just a photo that sparked a meme (before the word meme had been coined).

Never heard of that nickname for Cher.

13/15, Never heard Cher be called "the goddess of pop"
* IMHO she devolved from beloved young hippy chick into gay icon yet still a great talent! ☺
12 is just plain wrong. The three autotuned pre-packaged pop hacks would be more like it.
CD is a big Hypocrite. She refused an award (A Quebec Felix award) for her first English album. She refused it saying that "she was not an English singer". Then Disney asks her to record a song for a movie and she didn't tell them that she wasn't an English singer. I have hated her since. I also don't like that people associate it with being from Montreal, when it came from Quebec shitty.
I am a 15/15 Nickname Genius!...unlike Ray Charles, who was "The Genuis" ;-)
