I just have a hard time taking someone seriously was probably listening to Bad while typing out that they listened to good music.

Really? thats YOUR opinion and just because its an artist or artists YOU wouldn't listen to doesn't mean its bad music... that is if were talkin about people like Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Marvie, ***e, Temptations, Stylistics, old skool. Legends, there is no debate, the music out now (yea thats terrible music). Whats ur point? Just learn to accept peoples opinions not everyone is going to like or ONLY listen to the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd etc, their all great bands but there is nothin wrong with other great acts besides them.

Michael Jackson isn't a legend, he's released only a few albums that are held as classics. All of which are pretty typical pop albums that may have been influential but what they influenced was garbage. I wouldn't put him on the same pedestal i'd place Marvin Gaye or Stevie Wonder on, that's making him look more important than he actually is.

lmao are u serious? I don't get how some of you people can say that.. but anywho It doesn't matter what YOU think or anyone else on here. He IS a legend (accept it or not) and yes his released a few albums but shoot the music was real good. So what are u saying a dude can't release 8 albums and it not be good? There are people who release 12 albums and their ALL crap. It has nothin to do with how many albums are released just the music, his music is timeless because its GOOD music. All the music on the albums are not "typical pop". MJ music ranges his innovative and his sounds changes.

He can come out with 2 r&b songs, 2 pop songs and 2 rocks songs on the same album. If you exactly go out and listen to his music and stop judging it on what YOU think it might sound like, you'll get my point. MJ is very important he did alot for the music industry, I'm not going to run my mouth about that again. Doesn't every artist have there share in influencing crap artists? Stevie and Marvin influenced artists who are crap to, all artists do lol so whats ur point? MJ is up there with Stevie and Marvin but they each of course have their own category.

If Michael Jackson is so timeless why has he kept changing his sound to fit the modern times? Oh that's right because if he released Thriller today it wouldn't go anywhere why? It doesn't fit today's music market, it fits the 80s music market and he's released only three albums which are considered classics, the rest he's released are just crap. I don't even like Bad, Off the Wall or Thriller, in fact I think they're trash. If an artist isn't very consistent it takes away from his talent and legend status. Besides, I think it's fairly obvious Quincy Jones is the real talent there. You admitted Michael Jackson released alot of crap, funny how as soon as you take Quincy out of the picture all thats left is the crap.

So? Paris Hilton covered a variety of genres on her album i'm not going to considered her talented for it. Pop artists commonly throw out a few songs in each genre, it doesn't make them good or versatile.

Like what? Make some influential music videos? Give me a break music videos suck, very few artists treat it as an artform most just use it as an excuse to show as much female skin as possible.

We've gotten into this debate before, the only credible artist he influenced was Wu Tang Clan and he only influenced one of their members so that isn't exactly vital is it? If you took Michael Jackson out of the picture I doubt RZA would sound very different. Other notable artists you named consisted of Madonna, Janet Jackson, Boys II Men, Celine Dion, Coldplay and Evanescene. A great and credible gang right?

Wrong, Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye are actually important to the music world. If Thriller, Bad and Off the Wall never came out we probably wouldn't be dealing with the Madonnas and Timberlakes of the world. Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye have proven to be consistent without the help of producers. Here, My Dear is probably my second favorite Marvin Gaye album guess when that came out? Twenty years after What's Going On. Michael Jackson isn't going to release anything credible unless Quincy Jones decide to starting writing for him again.
