I see a lot of kanye, beatles, pink floyd, animal collective, grimes, and a bunch of metal threads, but hardly ever do I see a Michael thread.
How can you neglect such a superstar?
I understand he had a controversial personal life, but connecting an artist explicitly with their personal life could cause you to miss out on something great, ya know?
Kind of like never listening to Kanye because he has a god-complex, you'd miss out on some great hip-hop.
Off the Wall was his best album.
But yeah he made a lot of amazing music, however, I think his later albums had a lot of preachy shit and filler.

I don't have anything against MJ but his body of work isn't that impressive compared to true legends like James Brown, Frank Zappa, Dabid Bowie and Miles Davis. It even pales next to icons such as Prince, Herbie Hancock, McCartney and such.
Jackson was a great entretainer and has a handfull of great albums but the minstream media keeps portraying him as as music genius or even te most important musician of the XX century.

How was it better than Thriller? I'm curious because PYT and Billie Jean are on Thriller.

>>62899403
Disrespect with Chuck Berry, James Brown and Little Richard but for Pop music, hes the goat with these
>>62899474
>>62904275
its ok, he's objectively wrong. Thriller is GOAT
>>62900870
agreed. it got a bunch of hate in its time too, though, for whatever reason. I think it's well-placed on the album too.
>>62904369
>The Beach Boys isn't in that slide
Granted a lot of their stuff after 1977 was crap, but everything 1973 and before was some of the best in the genre.
>>62900147
what about Ben the rat song is great
dangerous had a ton of jams, no pun intended
I like how almost every song had an MV to go with it

I liked his early stuff with his siblings when they were on Motown Records.
