that is a matter of taste and historical context. I stand by what I said, Michael Jackson is one of the most popular and far reaching black musicians ever. His style, his dancing, and his selection of music has changed the face of music (if 1+1+1+2=5, 2 is still greater than all the individual 1s, seen? and MJ is mos def a 2 compared to all those others you have mentioned). If you can't see that right in front of your face because you are to busy trying to put MJ down and big up other people, that's fine.. but eventually the reality of MJ's contributions will suddenly dawn on you, and you will take your head out of your ass, and enjoy his legacy
