I consistently popped on some MJ even while I was learning all the Nirvana songs on guitar that I could. It's apples and oranges in comparison, sometimes you need a little dirty grunge and sometimes you want some clean, well constructed pop.

I gave the Invincible album another listen over the past 2 days... there are about 4 songs on there I liked (not loved) and the rest just seems very repetitive to me. Compared to his earlier works it really seems like a Lazy album, BUT, it's listenable. The song "Cry" really stood out in the wake of his death... "you can change the world, if we all cry at the same time tonight" made me think of the moment everyone realized he died and how the world pretty much came to a halt. Listening to his later albums he has a lot of self prophesy type lyrics throughout.
