You young kids cry and get all your tears out now, you'll be dreaming of him walking along doing the Billy Jeam video, and thinking it was the equivalent of the Stones and the Beatles, laughable, just laughable.
What this thread really shows is the great gulf between age groups on this forum. We older guys grew up listeing to the Who, the Beatels, Zep, the Stones, while you young kids think the Top 40 dance crap was real artsitic music. More power to you, cry your eyes out then, by all means. us older guys think that Thriller was the beginning of the end of real music, with real guitars and real drums, doing real rock&roll. How sad that anyone can put MJ on the same level as the Stones, the Beatles, Zeplin, Hendrix.... It's just sad that the kids don't know what their real Rock&roll heritage is. Yeah, top 40 dance stuff like Thriller is just classic Jam, sure, lol. This thread is really about young guys tryng to tell older guys what real artistic music is, it's a generation gap thread, that's what it is. Hmm, Thriller, or Allman brothers live at the Filmore, I'll take the Allman brothers every day of the week, to bad you kids don't know the difference between the two. |
