Notice all the tear jerkers were young when Thriller came out and they think that was great music. the older guys were listening to real music when they grew up, Zeplin, Stones, Beatles, Doors, Joplin, actual real, individual music, not top 40 dance garbage. 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. |
Actually its too bad that an old Fart like you cant see the similarities between the two.
Its people like you who create the great gulf, but only for yourself.
Its like you are on some remote island with blinders on still living in the late sixties-early seventies.
Its all Pop Music, (short for popular)
The Beatles Let It Be, Stones Satisfaction, Allmans Im No Angel etc had the same musical elements that any hit recording has to have. It connects with the people,
It just so happens that Thriller has connected with more people than any other album in history. That doesnt negate the greatness of the Allman Brothers, but if you feel like you can do better than Thriller, go to the studio and prove it because until now, there has never ever been in our lifetime a musical artist more popular than Micheal Jackson love him or hate him.
"Live With It" because there's nothing you can ever do to change that for as long as you may live. Also Lets not forget the fact that Micheals greatest albums were produced by Quincy Jones who also worked with Sinatra, Celine Dion, Duke Ellington, but I guess they are probably garbage to you as well.
Quincy is 76 years old and Greg Allman is 61, Mick Jagger is 65, and they are all still cool as hell and very relevant. Lots of young fans respect them also.
Just think, maybe one day when you grow up you could be relevant too
Those of us who have positive energy flowing through our bodies would feel sad if we lost any of our musical legends as we did when we lost Lennon, Hendrix, John Denver, Marvin Gaye, and Elvis.
The most important question you should ask yourself is how many people will tearjerk when you leave the planet.
OR WILL THEY LINE UP TO........ dfegad on your grave.
I think I'll go listen to some Micheal Jackson "Thriller", George Harrison "When We Were Fab", Notorious B.I.G. "Hypnotize" Britney Spears, Jonas Brothers,
And in your honor "Jeffguitar"
I Think I'll throw in what I consider to be a "Pop Classic" Little River Band and "Reminisce"
MICHEAL JACKSON = KING OF POP, ED MCMAHON, FARRAH FAWCETT REST IN PEACE
