That's certainly the case with me, though I wonder if that is the case with all. People talk about artists
representing an age just because they got lots of promotion and of being totally original even though nobody is and they can't possibly know all the other music produced at the time. I think perhaps music can be judged on it's own in it's style and what it is trying to do. But then trying to extrapolate that into saying something is most influential, most important in it's time seems a waste a time.
I was really making fun of this absurd phrase that people repeat as if it must be true that 'Michael Jackson is the king of pop'. There are plenty of other contenders. People should just enjoy his music for what it is, don't make big claims as it's pointless.
