True, but I think Michael had a bigger impact with his music on the pop genre. Just my view on it. Paul sure had a huge effect, but the likes of Thriller, Billie Jean, Beat It, Bad, Smooth Criminal, You Rock My World, etc. had HUGE popularity. They were extremely catchy, groovy songs with great videos, amazing choreography, and storylines. That's another thing MJ has over Paul: the art of the music video. He single handedly revolutionized the way videos were made for music. That combined with his music and dancing and stage presence puts him over the top, I think.
