Whatever. I can see that you guys will find an argument regardless if there is one or not. Michael Jackson was one of the first people I mentioned.
And about the innovation you mentioned. I've never even heard of that artist. Apparently not much of an innovation huh? I bet I could go around to just about everyone at my work, around my neighborhood, and around town, and they've probably never heard of Dizee Rascal. People who make true innovations should be well-known even to people who don't actively explore new music. The artists I mentioned affected music on a grand scale. Sure, the elements of their style existed before them, but they were the people who put it all together and put it into motion on a large scale. It takes a true innovator to do that. That's all I'm saying.
