Another reason to consider the Beatles > than the Jacksons/Michael, if you don't count that none of the Jackson clan, Michael included, could have made an album like Revolver or Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band or Abbey Road . . .
Not. even. at. their. absolute. nuttiest. (and Beatle nonsense was better than just about everyone else's Serious Art) did the Beatles (whose White Album included a ditty Paul McCartney wrote for his English sheepdog, Martha) even think about singing a love song to a rat . . .
That love song about a rat was a wonderful love song about a rat. lol
If anything albums like pepper is one reason the beatles are slightly overrated. I understand what it did for music but mjs own thriller and off the wall are superior to anything the beatles ever done
to a totally bland album(London Town) and song (Girlfriend) of Paul's and remake it on a blockbuster like Off The Wall. Girlfriend was not a strong track on Off The Wall and his choice of song reflected that. Do you think MJ took a liking to Girlfriend or did Paul suggest that MJ use it? Always wondered about that
This is like comparing an excellent steak to delicious ripened fruit.
That being said didn't MJ get alot more poular after he died? People wern't saying much about his music before he died.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!! You obviously did not grow up in the 80's! LOL! Michael Jackson was it baby. Everyone was wearing red zippered jackets. My brother even wore one white glove to school. We all practiced our moonwalk and competed with others. Seriously...Michael Jackson invaded normal suburban life, even in Utah.

I grew up in CA in the 80's and 1 in 100 would dress like that and usualy be laughed at. He was popular but there were more Madonnawannas than MJ.
Maybe I was just sidetracked by the girls in Madonna outfits to notice the guys like MJ.
Heh!!! There you go!
