Yeah, I couldn't have a Music Board without mentioning Michael Jackson. That's like having a Sports Board and not mentioning Michael Jordan or Babe Ruth. I'm pretty sure it's a sin.
Anyways, whether you love Michael or hate him I don't think anybody can argue that he was easily one of the greatest Music Performers of this Generation. He went all out in his music videos and never gave his fans anything less than 110%
One of my favorite songs of his, and I'm sure this is probably the case for a lot of his fans, was Thriller. I love that song, it's great.

I grew up on MJs music. Dad was a huge fan. Was sad to lose them both in the same year  Favorite songs: Thriller, Bad, Gone Too Soon and Man in the Mirror. But then again, I can't really think of one I don't like. |

He's a very talented man. Despite having some personal problems which consequently led to his death.
Favourite song from him is Man in the Mirror.

I like Black and White too, not sure if that's the official title of it, if you're talking about my baby it don't matter if you're black or white! =D

I wouldn't go as far as to say he was the greatest. To me, there is no single greatest artist. In their time, the Beatles were pop; however, they're a whole different deal than MJ. Is it really fair to compare the two, or other bands that were amazing? I'm not downplaying MJ's talent, not at all. In fact, I love a lot of his music. To me, I just think it's a bit of a strech to call him the greatest artist ever. I do agree he is a legend, though.  Oh no, I wasn't calling him the greatest artist ever, just from the pop genre alone. There are artists or bands from other genres that I prefer such as Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, 2Pac etc. But for pop alone, I think MJ is the pinnacle, followed probably by Genesis. And I've never been a fan of The Beatles, I think they are hugely overrated although I acknowledge their influence on music. |
