I guess you like your coffee cold cause that is the way Mocha Joe serves it? You can't have your own opinion and think "I like my coffee hot." Cause if it's served cold and everyone likes it you gotta like it too?

Nah, I just find it funny to see MJ get done dirty like that. Off The Wall and Thriller are legitimately good records on their own merits. They sold a lot because of timing (MTV), marketing, and a million other factors: doesn't mean they aren't good. You don't have to love Waits or anything either. Just seems petty to say they aren't "good" just because you don't want to give them any time.
It's like me and some of the punk I grew up with. There are lots of great punk records that I probably will never listen to again because I'm more interested in other genres, ideas, etc. But I don't look back at those artists and say they're "bad" because of that.
