oh ffs another one.
What is this liberal arts day or something?
Guy had sold a million albums by the time he was 10 ffs.
He died before either of my daughters were born and they both know his name and children in 100 years will know his music.
Plus he had some absolute bangers

As much as I think The Beatles are hugely overrated, Paul McCartney after that was even worse now I’ve got that Xmas song in my head.

If you hum another of his 'classics' - the Frog Song - in your head, it will completely overwrite the Xmas song and elevate irritation levels to a whole different level ...

Last bit sounds a little like a **** rendition of the St Crispin day's speech from Shakespeare's Henry V ... <laugh>

Unfortunately in MJ's case - it seems more than likely that several Children during his lifetime knew his name... with some trepidation ...<whistle>

I aint one of those that believes he was innocent just cos his music was great.
I can separate the art from the artist. I aint got a clue whether he did that **** or not.
Either way, his music was generational.
You can be like "He aint my thing" or "I dont really dig his music", I am the same with the Beatles, gimme the Stones over the beatles any day.
But like the Beatles you cant deny his impact on music, there is before MJ and after MJ.

There was a 40 year docu on BBC last weekend about Last Christmas, and then Wham!

Yeah, it's sentimental schmaltz, but that man was a ****ing genius.

Can't believe he's dead, even now. Christmas day too ffs.

Yeah Wham and George Michael left a lasting legacy in pop music. Got a lot of respect for him.

But that last Christmas song can **** right off

Yeah, he especially can not be mentioned in the same sentence as Prince or Bowie.

Whys that?
He sold more albums than both of them combined. (Two times their combined album sales in fact - Prince 150m, Bowie 100m, Jackson 500m).
Thats not the only metric of course, should we go with popularity? How his music has stood the test of time?
His talent as a performer?
By almost every objective metric you can think of, Jackson beats Prince and Bowie.
All you have is, you prefer Prince subjectively, which is fine. There are other artsists I prefer over MJ (Freddie Mercury is the GOAT for me, but that is subjective)
The only thing I would give you is Prince will certainly out do him when it comes to writing hits, if we are going by pure numbers as Prince was prolific as **** with his writing, not just for himself, but other artists.

I still can't believe Prince is dead either, to be absolutely honest.

Now there is a musical genius.

Currently listening to his early stuff he did with The Time and 94 East.

His self titled album (which I think was his second) as a solo artist is a cornerstone of pop/soul/funk fusion

How about that Prince wrote and played all the instruments on his music.

How about Bowie wrote and composed his own music. And it was ever changing and evolved over decades and decades.

Jackson sang largely other people's songs. And could dance.

He was a great singer and a massive artist, but he's not on the same page as the other two musically.
